Customization Without Code
Often large enterprises require multiple versions of business processes or views for different business units, locales or departments. Topaz Bridge S2 allows business analysts and other non-programmers to customize the presentation of data to meet the needs of different organizations.
Topaz Bridge S2 is SAP®-certified, and relies on SAP-security and approved Enterprise Service Integration mechanisms, so that in any of these customization scenarios, the underlying connection to SAP is never compromised.
Topaz Bridge S2 takes advantage of the customization features of SharePoint® Services from Microsoft®. This means that business analysts can customize your interface to SAP without hiring expensive J2EE or SAP ABAP programmers. Organizations using Topaz Bridge S2 can afford to be agile and respond quickly to changing workforce and marketplace needs.
Inherent customization features include simple manipulation and sorting of lists to create custom reports, manipulation of style sheets and customization of other branding elements, composition or manipulation of forms and related form-level validation using the S2 form framework, and composition of SharePoint pages from standard SharePoint Web Parts.
Topaz Bridge S2 Custom Web Parts
Topaz Bridge S2 provides a collection of SAP HCM-specific SharePoint Web Parts that can access and manipulate SAP data and business processes. Topaz Bridge S2 also exposes these Web Parts so that appropriately authorized business analysts can compose them into different forms, workflows and reports for different business needs.
Topaz Bridge S2 Web Parts provide access to all the richness of SAP-application data structures including both standard and custom info types.
Microsoft ASP.NET Form Technology
Topaz Bridge S2 makes use of ASP.NET form technology to provide a rich and flexible forms framework; easy and quick localization of forms; higher performing form throughput; and the best usability/user interface - thus highest user acceptance for SAP/SharePoint interoperable applications.
Global Readiness
Topaz Bridge S2 employee self-service comes with multi-language support 'out-of-the-box'. The text used in the Topaz Bridge S2 user interface and help system is all centrally managed by the SharePoint Enterprise Content Management System system, so all aspects of the user interface can quickly be modified for different locales or business units.
