Seamless integration of SAP and non-SAP systems

In modern IT landscapes, the integration of diverse systems is a key success factor. Today, companies operate a wide range of SAP and non-SAP applications – on-premise, in the cloud, or in hybrid scenarios. To ensure end-to-end business processes, data must be exchanged reliably, consistently, and in real time between these systems.

SAP Cloud Platform Integration (Integration Suite), now part of SAP Integration Suite, is SAP’s strategic integration platform for orchestrating, transforming, and monitoring data and process flows. CPI enables systems, applications, and services to be connected via standardized interfaces and supports the implementation of cross-system end-to-end processes – regardless of where these systems are operated.

Functionality and technological foundation

Cloud-native integration architecture on SAP BTP

SAP Integration Suite is based on a cloud-native, scalable architecture and represents a central integration layer within the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). The platform uses so-called iFlows (Integration Flows) to model data flows, transformation logic, and routing rules.

Technologically, SAP Integration Suite supports:
  • REST- and SOAP-based web services
  • IDoc and RFC communication
  • Event-based integration
  • Standardized adapters for SAP and non-SAP systems (e.g., S/4HANA, SuccessFactors, Ariba, Salesforce, HTTP, SFTP, OData)

Integrated mapping and transformation mechanisms allow data formats (XML, JSON, CSV, etc.) to be converted, validated, and adapted to target systems. Central monitoring and logging functions ensure transparency, traceability, and stable operations.

Added value for companies

Stable integrations as the foundation for end-to-end processes

With SAP Integration Suite, companies establish a robust integration architecture that supports both current requirements and future extensions. Instead of operating individual point-to-point interfaces, a central, maintainable, and scalable integration layer is created.

Business benefits at a glance:
  • End-to-end processes across system boundaries
  • Automated real-time data flows
  • Reduction of manual interface maintenance and error sources
  • Greater transparency across integration processes and data movements
  • Future-proof architecture for hybrid and cloud-based IT landscapes

SAP Integration Suite enables companies to respond more quickly to market changes, extend integrations flexibly, and sustainably reduce the complexity of their IT landscape.

Typical use cases

Integration, orchestration, and data harmonization

SAP Cloud Platform Integration is used in a wide range of scenarios, including:
  • Integration of SAP S/4HANA with cloud solutions such as SuccessFactors, Ariba, or Concur
  • Connection of non-SAP systems such as CRM, e-commerce, or logistics platforms
  • Synchronization of master and transactional data
  • Orchestration of cross-system business processes
  • Establishment of a central integration architecture as an alternative to individual interfaces
