SAP Netweaver
Technology
Extending its traditional ABAP environment, SAP
Netweaver technology includes a new set of software
components and tools: Web Dynpro for JAVA, Web Dynpro
for ABAP, SAP Netweaver Portal, SAP Visual Composer,
etc.
In order to face this constant expansion of SAP tools
and customer demands, and the growing technical complexity
and diversification, we have also created a new area within
our R&D department, designated as JANETT (JAVA and
Netweaver Technology Team).
What is JANETT?
JANETT (Java and Netweaver Technology Team) is a special
group within Teknoda professionals dedicated to research,
and learning of new technologies and tools related to
JAVA and SAP Netweaver platforms.
JANETT in its essence, formalizes and gives visible
entity to the R&D practice that Teknoda has been
steadily accomplishing from its beginning, since research
and training has always been the driving force behind
all our services.
Nevertheless, in a context of growing technical complexity
and diversification, the new structure of our R&D
team is intended to:
- Continuously increase the number of professionals
assigned to these tasks. Designate technical leaders
in each area with exclusive dedication to R&D
functions. Improve the interaction between the research
team and professionals working in actual customer
projects.
- Continuously increase resources exclusively assigned
to R&D (hardware, lab rooms, software, bibliography,
etc.)
- Establish new and better agreements/partnerships
both with the technology vendors and our customers,
in order to gain access to practical experience and
innovative projects, offering in many cases our human
resources free of charge.
- Establish a working dynamics based on interdisciplinary
collaboration, with clear and measurable objectives,
and a permanent feed-back with production areas.
