SAP NetWeaver Process Orchestration provides an easy and flexible middleware platform to design, model, implement, execute and monitor business processes by ensuring seamless connectivity to multiple different business/ technical systems and applications (SAP and non-SAP). Along with the options of creating human and/or system centric processes, it also provides an effective way to define and manage business rules which are essential to easily change the business process behavior by non-technical stakeholders. SAP NetWeaver Process Orchestration offers three products under one umbrella:
- SAP NetWeaver Process Integration
- SAP NetWeaver Business Process Management
- SAP NetWeaver Business Rules Management
What is meant by SAP NetWeaver Process Orchestration in an organization’s landscape?
Customers who have procured SAP NetWeaver Process Orchestration licenses have the flexibility to install and use any of the different deployment options described below based on their business requirements. Please note that the mentioned options are not technical installation options (which are available with installer tool as usage types).

Example 1: Customers have to choose option a) and b) if they want to install Dual Stack SAP NetWeaver PI and BPM on different systems.
Example 2: Customers have to choose option c) if they want to install the combined offering available with SAP NetWeaver Process Orchestration 7.31. This option is only available with the SAP NetWeaver Java Stack.
