Consequently, it has integrated the best business practices of the world’s most successful companies into the R/3 System.

Enterprise-wide three-tiered architecture: The R/3 System remains the only enterprise-wide, three-tiered architecture. The R/3 System’s three-tiered client/server architecture separates the system into areas devoted to database, application functionality, and desktop presentation. This structure promotes maximum flexibility, freedom of application component choice and the ability to change and add to the system as your organization grows. The development of the Internet, including the World-Wide Web, promises to make dramatic changes in communications between businesses and customers. SAP is working with several partners to develop enhanced Internet extensions for the R/3 System. For additional information, see SAP’s Web pages at: http://www.ext.sap.com |
