TechNet Webcast: SAP Enterprise Portal and SharePoint Server Interoperability (Level 200)  

In this webcast, we discuss SAP and Microsoft portal interoperability. We cover how you can integrate Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 and SAP Netweaver Portal from front-end integration (iView, Web Services for Remote Portlets [WSRP], and URL linking) to integrate components and services across the portal (via Web Services, SAP Portal Development Kit for the Microsoft .NET Framework, and connectors). We explore approaches for interoperability based on search and the Business Data Catalog feature in SharePoint Server 2007. We also demonstrate the various types of solutions and describe how to approach portal integration.
