2. Functional Overview
Supported Functions and Business Processes – General Description
Overview on the
functionality and the
purpose of the thirdparty product.
AdapLink® Objects for SAP are object oriented representations of complex
SAP data objects like materials master, or sales and production orders.
AdapLink Objects are designed to provide access to the rich underlying data
in the many ways organizations want to consume them through a
representation that is easy to implement, install and support.
All AdapLink® Objects share three key features. They are Intuitive,
Comprehensive, and Delta-capable.
1. Intuitive: All elements and attributes are named based on a
combination of natural and technical language. As an example,
the technical field name containing the material number in an
SAP object is typically ‘MATNR’. In the AdapLink® Object this is
named ‘Material_MATNR’, mixing natural language with SAP
technical terms. Through this naming convention it becomes
intuitively obvious what the data represents (the Material) and
how it relates to the technical SAP architecture (field MATNR).
2. Comprehensive: As AdapChain creates new objects they are
designed to include all the data relevant to the SAP object, – not
just what is required for a particular scenario. By designing the
objects with a comprehensive mindset the objects can be used in
many different integration scenarios without modification. This is
the key to ensuring consistent high quality and plug-and-play
implementation.
3. Delta-Capable: AdapLink® Objects are designed to track the
underlying SAP through their life cycle from initial object creation,
through ongoing object maintenance to deletion. No need to
worry about AdapLink® Objects getting ‘out of sync’ with the
underlying SAP data.

How it benefits our customers and complements
SAP ?
1. AdapLink® Objects are designed to be easy to integrate with. By
leveraging AdapLink® Objects organization achieve solutions that
are easier to understand, easier to maintain and perform at much
high level compared to in-house developed solutions integrated
directly to SAP without the use of AdapLink® Objects.
2. AdapChain leverages our growing list of AdapLink® Objects when
constructing integration templates for integration between SAP
and non-SAP systems. Visit the AdapChain partner listing to see
who has developed system integrated through AdapLink®
Integration templates based on AdapLink® Objects.
http://adapchain.com/partners
How are organizations using AdapLink® Objects
for SAP Integration?
Organizations use AdapLink® Objects for integration of SAP ECC to nonSAP system in two ways.
1. Custom integration: Some organizations leverage AdapLink®
Objects as the starting point for custom integration projects. By
leveraging AdapLink® Objects they reduce implementation time,
resource requirements, solution complexity and ultimately cost
of ownership compared to building custom integration all the
way back into SAP.
Template integration: AdapChain is collaborating with leading 3rd-party software
companies in standardizing integration between their applications and the rich
SAP ECC source systems. Starting an integration effort with an AdapLink®
Integration Template is like starting with the integration already 80% done. Only
the business specific field mappings remain. the finalTo develop integration
between functionality rich and comprehensive systems it is critically important to
understand how the required data is stored in the underlying systems. ERP
systems will often hold thousands of database tables containing tens of thousands
of fields. To develop integration it is necessary to understand what structures and
fields are relevant to the integration task. This level of domain expertise can be
hard to find.

architecture and design of management tool and a key element in our service oriented business
model.
the third-party product
including performance and
AdapChain through AdapLink, is able to resolve Data
scalability.
Management and Integration challenges faced in many
projects with a level of quality, speed, and cost effectiveness
that few have imagined possible.
Rules Based AdapLink toolset offers high performance
interfaces to connect and transform data from different
systems and platforms. At the heart of the platform is the
“business-rules-engine” that has incrementally been improved
through more than 15 years of R&D and customers / partners
feedback.
AdapLink is developed under Service-client model.

3.2 Quality Assurance
Overview on Quality
Assurance procedures by
the third-party vendor to
assure that the interface
design and performance
consistently conform to
specified requirements.
AdapLink has been developed under standard software practices
complying to strict software quality that assures that the standards,
processes, and procedures are appropriate for the project and are
correctly implemented.
Adapchain follows Process improvement approach to software
development, called AdapWay methodolgy.
A breif outline on Adapway Methodology.
What is the AdapWay?
AdapChain Inc. created the “AdapWay” in order to eliminate 3 of the
4 biggest waste categories often experienced during implementation
of software Projects:
Opportunity Waste,
Realization Waste and
Business Performance Waste.
The result is a methodology that not only eliminates those waste
categories, but also delivers a number of other tangible benefits:
Low cost: Small project teams mean low project burn rate and
minimal impact of business operations.
Early benefits, Low risk: Iterative implementation approach
ensures focus, minimal implementation risk and early
realization of tangible business benefits.

Superior change management: By ensuring direct involvement
of key users in design and testing, change management is
rarely a problem.
The AdapWay is continuously being enhanced by AdapChain Inc.
AdapWay – Lab-to-Live (LTL) methodology
Each LTL-iteration defined during the Exploration phase is a small
project. The scope is clearly defined and typically limited to the
smallest amount of additional scope that will deliver noticeable
value towards meeting the business need. By keeping the scope of
each LTL-iteration small, it becomes natural that the project team
size also will be small and the implementation time normally will
be less than 4 months.
During the LTL iteration, a full-scale prototype is built in a test
environment.
This full-scale prototype is kept aligned with production through
periodic imports of relevant production data. By keeping the
prototype updated with production data it is possible to see if the
prototype design is producing results similar – or better than – the
official production system.
The LTL environment allows the LTL-team to test design changes
on full scale data. Because the LTL environment contains current
data ,it is fairly easy to keep supply chain planners from the
business involved in the effort. And while business users work on
testing and improving the model, they also learn the new
functionality. This makes change management MUCH easier.
AdapWay – Sustain and improve:
Once an LTL iteration has been completed and implemented, the
scope is transferred to the sustain and improve phase.
During sustain and improve, the focus is on eliminating errors and

finding additional improvement opportunities. These
opportunities may then be added to a subsequent LTL iteration,
result in a new LTL iteration or be noted and eliminated.
