Overview and Purpose

Personalised role-based websites with enterprise portals is always a great start but it does not support the seamless integration of existing solutions and hybrid landscapes.

With the SAP NetWeaver technology reaching the end of life by Dec 2020 and maintenance of SAP NetWeaver Java ending officially in 2024, it is time for the customers to think of a more robust option. With evolving user demand, it is pertinent to migrate to the SAP Cloud Platform Portal.

About 11,500 customers have already adopted SAP Cloud Platform Portal.

• The new world of customer experiences. 
• Enables interaction that is engaging and innovative.
• Responsive and tailored to the customer’s needs.
• Solutions that users can control and adapt to various solutions.
• Empower business with a more tactical edge due to it being more flexible and multi-channel. 

Maintenance of SAP Enterprise portal 

• The maintenance period for SAP NetWeaver Java 7.1, 7.3, 7.4 ends by 2020
• The maintenance period for SAP NetWeaver Java 7.5 ends by 2024

What is SAP Cloud Platform Portal?

• Cloud-based solution 
• Mobile-ready line of business sites to interact with customers, vendors or employees
• Flexible, multi-channel, modern business portal, enabling enterprises to outperform business goals.
• Supports Fiori launchpad as an entry point for SAP Fiori apps as well as freestyle site templates and extensions. 

Benefits of SAP Cloud Platform Portal

• Central access point – Intuitive multi-channel access into your business apps anywhere from any device.   

• Personalised user experience  – Build multi-language business sites following the SAP Fiori Launchpad or from freestyle portal design.

• App integration – Securely integrate Cloud, Fiori and On-premise.

• SAP & Non SAP Integration – Securely  integrate content and application from both SAP and third-party providers

• Role-based access – Provide the right content to the right users with integrated single sign-on capabilities.

• Create and publish web content – Easily manage your unstructured content and build attractive business websites 

Planning the transition

start with an inventory of current on-premise SAP Enterprise Portal content:    

• Identification of Portal use cases and scenarios (Supplier Portal, Employee Portal, Application Portal etc.)
• Identification of all applications, portal content, services, and document repositories used in the current portal.
• Evaluation of the usage of  Portal functionality (Business Packages, Universal Worklist, KM, Collaboration, Web Page Composer)
• Identification of  used UI technologies (Web Dynpro Java, Web Dynpro ABAP, SAP GUI, BSP etc.)
• Checking Landscape dependencies between the SAP Enterprise Portal and other connected systems (SAP and 3rd party).
