iNet.DM

SharePoint documents linked to SAP items

Seamlessly manage, find and access documents in SharePoint linked to SAP objects

iNet.DM enables SharePoint to be the SAP ECM/DM environment. Now users inside and outside of SAP can collaborate and work on the same SAP document-centric business processes. For the first time, SharePoint users are able to contribute to shortening business cycles for key functions that rely on SAP—without having to log into SAP.
iNet.DM is SAP ArchiveLink-certified, and allows Microsoft SharePoint to become the core document library/repository and provide content management services, storage, collaboration, and management functions in support of native SAP business processes. With iNet.DM, incoming and outgoing documents can be automatically linked to specific SAP business objects and processes and stored in SharePoint.
