SAP NetWeaver 7.5 — the foundation under your Enterprise Portal, Process Orchestration, BW, and custom applications — hits end-of-mainstream-support in December 2027. Extended maintenance costs 2% more with zero innovation. iFactory replaces every NetWeaver component with a cloud-native, AI-powered platform — deployable in weeks, not years.
We modernize all five NetWeaver usage types — Enterprise Portal, PI/PO, AS Java, AS ABAP custom apps, and BW — with zero disruption. Your SAP backend stays untouched while we replace the middleware layer.
Inventory all NetWeaver components — portal iViews, PI/PO interfaces, Java apps, ABAP custom code, BW queries. Map dependencies and integration touchpoints.
Migrate portal content, rebuild PI/PO interfaces as modern APIs, convert Java/ABAP apps to cloud-native. BW queries to AI analytics.
Connect to SAP ECC or S/4HANA via OData & RFC. Validate all data flows — MM, FI/CO, PM, PP, HR. Parallel testing with live NetWeaver.
User acceptance testing, training, phased cutover. Decommission NetWeaver stacks. 90-day post-migration hypercare support included.
SAP Enterprise Portal on NetWeaver Java serves iViews, roles, and navigation — but its aging UI drives low adoption. SAP's own roadmap pushes to SAP Build Work Zone on BTP. iFactory delivers a modern alternative: responsive portal with role-based dashboards, self-service apps, and mobile access — without BTP licensing.
Technician, manager, operator — each gets a personalized home screen.
Access portal from any device — phone, tablet, desktop. 100% offline.
SAML, OAuth 2.0, MFA — replace aging SAP SSO 3.0 infrastructure.
Fiori tiles, SAP transactions, and iFactory apps in one portal.
SAP Process Integration and Process Orchestration on NetWeaver Java handle message routing, mapping, and BPM. SAP's successor is Integration Suite on BTP — but adoption is only 46%. iFactory replaces PI/PO with a modern API-first integration hub that connects your SAP landscape without BTP licensing overhead.
REST, OData, RFC — replace IDoc and SOAP with modern protocols.
Content-based routing, value mapping, and transformation — visual designer.
Replace BPM — visual process designer with conditional logic and approvals.
Message tracking, error handling, and alerting — replace SXMB_MONI.
Integration Flows — Live Status
SAP BW on NetWeaver 7.5 delivers warehouse-style analytics — but lacks AI, real-time streaming, and mobile dashboards. iFactory transforms your operational data into predictive intelligence with real-time KPIs, automated anomaly detection, and natural-language queries — pulling directly from SAP.
Live OEE, downtime, costs, compliance — auto-refreshing from SAP.
ML models predict failures from sensor data — auto-create work orders.
Ask "Show downtime by line this week" — get instant visualizations.
AI detects operational outliers and triggers notifications instantly.
Production Line Performance — Live
Average S/4HANA migration takes 18 months, and nearly half of delays stem from integration issues. iFactory decouples your operations from NetWeaver now — and when S/4HANA goes live, you simply switch connectors. No re-implementation, no disruption.
Certified OData, RFC, REST connectors for both platforms simultaneously.
MM, FI/CO, PM, PP, HR, QM — all data flows bi-directionally.
MQTT, OPC-UA — connect sensors, PLCs, and SCADA to SAP.
Cloud, on-premise, or hybrid — works wherever your SAP landscape lives.
Integration Activity — Last 24 Hours
Industry-specific portal layouts, integration scenarios, compliance frameworks, and analytics dashboards — pre-built to accelerate your migration from NetWeaver to iFactory.

"We had 280 PI/PO interfaces and a Portal running 40 iViews. iFactory replaced everything in 7 weeks. Our S/4HANA migration next year will be 6 months shorter because the NetWeaver dependencies are gone."
"NetWeaver Portal adoption was 25% — technicians wouldn't use it on their phones. iFactory's mobile portal hit 94% adoption in 3 weeks. The AI analytics found patterns our BW reports never surfaced."
"BTP was going to cost us $400K/year in licensing alone. iFactory gave us portal, integration, and analytics for a fraction — and it works with our ECC today and S/4HANA tomorrow. Best decision we made."
SAP NetWeaver 7.5 mainstream maintenance ends December 2027, aligned with SAP Business Suite 7. Extended maintenance is available until 2030 at a 2% premium — but offers only break-fix support with no new features or innovations. NetWeaver versions older than 7.5 (7.0, 7.1, 7.2, 7.3, and 7.4) have already lost support since December 2020. SAP Enterprise Portal 7.5, Process Integration 7.5, and Process Orchestration 7.5 all follow the same timeline.
iFactory modernizes all five core NetWeaver usage types: Enterprise Portal (replaced by modern responsive web and mobile portal), Process Integration and Process Orchestration (replaced by API-based integration hub), AS Java custom applications (replaced by cloud-native microservices), Business Warehouse reporting (replaced by AI-powered analytics), and custom ABAP and Web Dynpro applications (replaced by no-code/low-code app builder with native SAP backend connectivity).
SAP BTP is SAP's strategic cloud platform, but it requires extensive licensing, specialist BTP/CAP/Fiori skills, and 6–18 months for adoption. Industry data shows only 61% of SAP organizations plan to use BTP, with skills shortages as a major barrier. iFactory deploys in 4–8 weeks, requires no BTP licensing, works 100% offline, and integrates directly with both ECC and S/4HANA without cloud platform dependencies — at 40–60% lower TCO.
Core portal and integration replacement deploys in 4–8 weeks. Full NetWeaver stack modernization — including PI/PO interface migration, custom app rebuilding, and BW analytics migration — completes in 8–16 weeks. Compare to typical S/4HANA migrations averaging 18 months, or BTP adoption taking 6–18 months.
Yes — iFactory connects to both ECC and S/4HANA via certified OData v4, RFC, and REST API connectors. This means you can modernize your NetWeaver stack now while still on ECC, then seamlessly switch connectors when your S/4HANA migration completes — no re-implementation required. This decoupling strategy actually accelerates your S/4HANA timeline by removing NetWeaver dependency risks that cause nearly half of all migration delays.
Our migration team analyzes all custom ABAP programs, Web Dynpro applications, BSP pages, and portal iViews. Business-critical logic is rebuilt in iFactory's no-code/low-code platform with modern responsive UI. Non-essential customizations — industry data shows roughly 60% of custom SAP code is rarely used — are identified for retirement, reducing technical debt and complexity.
Yes — SAP PI and PO follow the NetWeaver 7.5 maintenance timeline: mainstream support ends December 2027, extended until 2030. SAP's strategic successor is SAP Integration Suite on BTP. However, Integration Suite adoption has grown from 33% to only 46% in the past year — many organizations find BTP complexity and cost prohibitive. iFactory offers a practical alternative that replaces PI/PO messaging, routing, and mapping with modern API-based integration without BTP licensing.
Any organization running SAP NetWeaver: discrete and process manufacturing, utilities and energy, oil & gas, mining and metals, pharma and life sciences, food and beverage, chemicals, transportation and logistics, and government. Industry-specific templates pre-configure portal layouts, integration scenarios, and compliance frameworks (FDA 21 CFR Part 11, NERC CIP, OSHA, GxP, FSMA, ISO 55000) for each sector.
