(SAP NetWeaver PI). NetWeaver PI serves as the integration engine for SAP's implementation of SOA middleware. With NetWeaver PI, SAP has included pre-built integrations for connecting SAP systems to each other and to non-SAP systems. But many SAP users are still not sure what the difference is between NetWeaver PI and NetWeaver XI. They have questions such as:

What is NetWeaver PI's role within the NetWeaver platform?
Is NetWeaver PI basically SAP's new integration engine?
What new features are in PI that XI didn't have?
How does the product compare to competing middleware products such as Oracle Fusion Middleware (OFM)?

This learning guide on SAP XI will answer these and many other questions.
