Ever wonder what a "dynamic business process" really is? What business processes change so frequently that they can't fit into standard SAP-managed applications?
Consider the case of global consumer product companies that launch hundreds of different products and variations each year. "Product Launch & Re-Launch" is a strategic capability for these companies for fostering innovation and introducing new products to market quickly.
