Competing in today's business environment takes more than continuous improvement. It also requires constant innovation. And that means aligning existing systems with new business strategies.

Enter SAP xApps packaged composite applications -- a new breed of information technology that enables continuous improvement and innovation. How? By combining existing, heterogeneous systems into cross-functional, end-to-end processes for increased competitive agility.

The SAP xApps portfolio aligns people, information, and processes to let you execute enterprisewide strategies with greater ease and efficiency. And extends the value of your core business investments to maximize the return on your most strategic assets: employees, knowledge, products, business relationships, and IT.

With unique characteristics that aid business improvement and innovation, SAP xApps:

• Is cross-functional -- SAP xApps drives business processes across different applications, technologies, and organizations.
• Is composite -- SAP xApps flexibly integrates existing systems and new functional components into business processes.
• Is collaborative -- SAP xApps enables ad hoc team collaboration as part of vital business processes.
• Is content-driven -- SAP xApps relates knowledge and structured information within the context of a business process.
• Closes the loop -- SAP xApps helps aggregate and contextualize relevant information, when triggered by event alerts.

The SAP xApps portfolio includes composite applications to drive innovation in two areas significant to business success: SAP xApp Resource and Program Management (SAP xRPM) dramatically improves your ability to manage and execute complex IT or R&D projects, and SAP xApp Mergers and Acquisitions (SAP xMA) expedites business processes across the entire M&A value chain.
