Introducing the SAP Integration Suite

All of SAP's prepackaged integrations run in the SAP Integration Suite, which is hosted in SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). The SAP Integration Suite is just one of many different services that can run on SAP BTP. Explore all services in the SAP Discovery Center, where you can both learn about, and estimate the cost of different services running on SAP BTP in the Services area, and try them out in the Missions area.

Watch this video to get an overview of SAP Integration Suite in a nutshell.

We will focus on a few of the integration-related services running in SAP Business Technology Platform:

• SAP Integration Suite, which is SAP's comprehensive, hybrid integration platform covering all integration styles and landscapes. The following capabilities are included:
  • Integration Assessment - A component of the Integration Solution Advisory Methodology, the Integration Assessment is designed to help consultants and customers define, document, and govern a new integration strategy for their organization.
  • Migration Assessment - A tool that helps customers estimate the migration effort for moving from SAP Process Orchestration (PO) integration to SAP Integration Suite, and has the ability to automate the actual migration from SAP PO to SAP Integration suite with integration flow templates.
  • Cloud Integration - A tool that supports developers in building end-to-end process integration packages covering application-to-application (A2A), business-to-business (B2B), and business-to-government (B2G) scenarios.
  • Integration Advisor - A tool that uses both crowdsourcing and machine learning to propose the most efficient integration interface for B2B scenarios using a comprehensive library of documentation and code lists of all frequently used and de facto B2B standards.
  • Trading Partner Management - A tool that facilitates maintaining, operating, and monitoring B2B integration scenarios with trading partners. The Integration Advisor generates Message Implementation Guidelines (MIG) and Mapping Guidelines (MAG) that make it easier to get your trading partners onboarded to new integration scenarios.
  • API Management - Enables developers to manage the entire lifecycle of their APIs (design, develop, manage) until deprecation. SAP Graph is embedded in API Management to enable creating an out-of-the-box connected data graph of SAP-managed business data directly in SAP Integration Suite. Developers can also compose their own or extend the business graph with additional data models and sources.
  • Open Connectors - A huge library of prebuilt connectors designed to make it easier for customers to quickly set up connections between their SAP applications and a wide range of third-party cloud applications. For example, Google (AdWords, Analytics, Drive), Microsoft (Office 365, OneDrive, SQL Server), NetSuite (Finance, CRM, ERP), Oracle (DB, HCM Cloud, Sales Cloud), Salesforce (Files, Marketing Cloud, Sales Cloud), and many others.

• SAP Event Mesh - An "Event" is when a specific action has occurred or a state has changed in an application. If you require an event in one system to trigger an action in a different system asynchronously, SAP Event Mesh is the service that can be used by developers to set up an event brokers, which facilitate communication between the applications producing event messages and applications consuming event messages. This service will also require Cloud Integration to support mapping and transformation of source data into the target data structure, and API Management to provide secure access to APIs used for this type of transaction processes.
• SAP Connectivity Service - This service enables developers to build integrations between a public cloud application and an on premise or private cloud application. On premise and private cloud applications are protected by a firewall, so the SAP Connectivity Service creates a secure "tunnel" through the firewall that allows messages to be received. You still need an integration package with APIs to carry the actual messages/data, but adding the SAP Connectivity Service ensures the messages can be received by the on premise or private cloud application.
