Integrating other applications with SAP is critical to achieving end-to-end visibility into and control over business processes. SAP’s certification programs are designed to enable ISVs to integrate their applications with the SAP technology stack.

SAP provides two levels of SAP NetWeaver certification:

       • Certified for SAP NetWeaver™" – Now known as SAP NetWeaver          interface certification, this is awarded to ISV products integrated
         with one or more components of SAP NetWeaver.
       • Powered by SAP NetWeaver™" – This more demanding
         certification is designed for applications that run on the SAP Web
         Application Server (J2EE or ABAP stack) and are
         iView-accessible. Powered by SAP NetWeaver™ products help
         SAP users achieve commonalities in system landscapes,        
         hardware, software and support skills. This in turn drives down
         total cost of ownership (TCO) and enables companies to invest in
         innovation.
