Technical White Paper: Alloy by IBM and SAP

Bring SAP business processes into Lotus Notes

Alloy™ software by IBM® and SAP® is a solution that presents information and data from SAP applications in the context of what millions of business users are familiar with – the IBM Lotus® Notes® collaboration software user interface. Business users need easy, consistent access to people, processes and information to improve their productivity. With Alloy, they can easily access SAP software and information from within the Lotus Notes environment, both online and offline. Since these users work in the familiar Lotus Notes environment, training is minimized, which helps speed adoption. As a result, organizations can make business users more productive, improve decision making and increase compliance with corporate policies.

This technical white paper illustrates how Alloy works, the software and skills requirements, deployment options, and advanced customization options.
