CE –> Composition Environment

BPM — > Business Process Management.

I was in Las Vegas for the SAP Tech Ed 2008. The Next new thing in the SAP world is the SAP CE and SAP BI.

The following are my understanding.

SAP is building this CE to manage the Business process. Any Functional or Business person can build a business process and the Technical or Functional person can tie each business process to the technical object.

So in my understanding this is a very fancy work flow but outside the R3 system(stand alone server). This work flow can be integrated with other System to complete a business process.

This Work flow can call a any system from like R3, web service(third party ) and other software(.net, oracle or  other home grown) with in the organization.

I started downloading this CE7. I am going to play around with this and start writing about this in coming days.

You can also download this and start playing around with this. If you know little bit java then it will be more helpful. CE is only in Java web dynpro(ABAP is not available as of now).
