This remote-enabled function module allows generic read access to arbitrary tables, and almost every software vendor who offers non-ABAP software for SAP solutions or who provides interfaces/extractors for SAP solutions will sooner or later evaluate it. Even ABAP Add-On providers whose software needs to access all systems of an SAP landscape often use the function module to overcome the need for installing their Add-On on all systems of a customer, keeping total costs of ownership (TCO) at a minimum level.
