Purpose

Product road maps are designed to support the product adoption planning activities of SAP

customers. A product road map helps a customer match short term and long term goals with

technology plans.

A product road map describes how the feature / function capabilities in an SAP product or

technology are planned to progress over time, in general:

Today = changes in the current release version

Planned Innovations = changes planned in upcoming development releases (next 12-18 months)

Future Direction = proposed themes for a product or technology beyond the planned releases

The product road maps are targeted for use by IT planners, enterprise architects, SAP

Consulting, and SAP consulting partners.

Complementary resources

For a more general description of the business problems / processes being solved and

supported by SAP, refer to Solution Road maps.

For more detailed technical information please refer to the Product Availability Matrix, Ramp-
