Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

SAP is making a determined effort to crash the Java/J2EE application server platform market, despite its late start relative to IBM, BEA, and Oracle. NetWeaver has many strong points, including a great development tool for browser user interfaces, good data mapping and access features, a good grounding in Java/J2EE, and strong support for interoperability with Microsoft's platform technology. However, the platform lacks unified development and administration models, has weak monitoring and control tools, and has a secret pricing scheme that makes the platform's costs difficult for customers to gauge.
