Comments on: SAP and Adobe partnership - Apollo/Muse http://www.sapfrontend.com/sap-and-adobe-partnership-apollomuse/ Accessing SAP in this brave new open world Thu, 28 Aug 2008 12:20:32 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: Matthias Zeller http://www.sapfrontend.com/sap-and-adobe-partnership-apollomuse/#comment-2 Matthias Zeller Sun, 15 Apr 2007 08:23:30 +0000 http://www.sapfrontend.com/sap-and-adobe-partnership-apollomuse/#comment-2 <p>Hello SAP Frontend Choices Blog Writer, while Shai Agassi announced last year at SAP Sapphire that Project Muse would be build on Apollo, that decision has changed later that year. Project Muse is now based on the NetWeaver Business Client, which is an SAP C++ client implementation. I think the NetWeaver Business Client and Apollo address very different needs. The NetWeaver Business Client runs model driven SAP UI's (Web Dynpro), web UIs as well as old Dynpro UI's in an SAP look-and-feel client frame. The communication between the client and the server is optimized with a specific SAP Business Client protocol. Apollo allows web developers to take Rich Internet Applications (Flex, AJAX, HTML) and install and run them outside the constraints of the web browser (see for example eBay client). It can be used to develop client applications which are optimized for very specific tasks or user needs (e.g. Expense Report app, Sales app or Field Technician app). There are already developers today (mainly SAP SI's) who use Adobe Flex to create rich and engaging web applications on top of the SAP back-end and run those applications inside the browser as well as on Apollo. I think this development model will significantly increase over the coming 24 months. We continue to be in discussion with SAP application development teams who are interested in using Flex and Apollo to address very specific user needs.
