SAP Geographical Enablement Framework is a new set of products designed to extend business data with geometric attributes (this is cartographies) for SAP Business Suite or S4/HANA applications. As a framework leveraging the spatial capabilities inherent in SAP HANA, it enables organizations to develop geospatially enriched business data, and make them accessible from within SAP applications.

SAP Geographical Enablement Framework – New Products

Despite SAP Geographical Enablement Framework (in short SAP Geo Framework or GEF) is a new set of products, there is already an existing community of companies already using such features into what was known as SAP Geo Enablement (in short Geo.E) which was provided as a service from SAP Field Services.  These experiences from worldwide customers have provided the necessary inputs and uses cases to build the foundation of SAP Geo Framework and during the Conference Sessions there will be a use case presentation by Loudoun Water (April 19^th, Business Transformation Track).
