iNet Smart Business Modules (SBMs) are out-of the box Business Process Optimization Modules for SAP that snap into the ERP-Link iNet.DM platform, which integrates Microsoft SharePoint (2007 and 2010) with the SAP ArchiveLink and DMS framework. iNet SBMs support users and functions for specific document centric business processes that exist both inside SAP and outside SAP.

iNet Document Services Modules perform functions such as

• Enabling Microsoft Office users and document scan stations to remotely link documents to SAP business objects and transactions
• Add SAP Master Data and Transaction Data to stored documents as index and search attributes
• Raise workflow events and inbox notifications inside SAP, as well as Outlook notifications based on SharePoint functions or user actions
• Create configurable MOSS/SharePoint hyperlinks inside SAP screens so that with one click, SAPGUI users can jump out to SharePoint Enterprise Search and other locations.
