Riverbed for ERP & CRM

Responsiveness of business critical ERP and CRM applications such as SAP, Oracle, Siebel and Microsoft Dynamics can suffer when accessed over a WAN and is often far worse from a remote office than for a user at headquarters.

Riverbed can improve the responsiveness for many ERP and CRM applications by 2- to 10-fold, and in many cases far more, which is often enough to allow a more universal rollout of key applications, rather than letting poor user acceptance stall deployments.

As more SAP environments leverage a web service or SOA foundation through SAP NetWeaver, Riverbed can provide significant benefits for XML, HTTP, and HTTPS traffic. Riverbed has also received SAP Certified Integration status for RiOS. SAP brought Steelhead appliances into their Co-Innovation Lab (COIL) and specifically tested Riverbed's technology for interoperability.

Deploying Riverbed on networks running SAP NetWeaver produces significant benefits, including improved productivity, SOA scalability and bandwidth cost savings.
