SAP CPI / Integration Suite
We design integrations in SAP Cloud Integration, API Management, Open Connectors and SAP Event Mesh. This is the core iPaaS stack for organisations developing integrations within the SAP ecosystem.
Integrations and API - iPaaS for enterprise organisations
We design and implement integrations between SAP, the cloud and SaaS systems. We work with SAP CPI/CI, SAP Integration Suite, Azure Logic Apps, MuleSoft and custom APIs based on REST, GraphQL, OData, iDoc and BAPI. We help eliminate manual data transfers and ensure auditability of flows between systems.
What your organisation gains
Fewer manual data transfers
We replace processes based on CSV exports, file imports and manual error correction with stable integrations between systems. As a result, data flows between applications without manual re-entry or file handling.
Real time instead of batch
We design integrations that reduce dependence on overnight jobs and batch processing. An invoice, order or process status can become visible in another system in near real time, supporting customer service and operational decisions.
Audit trail for compliance and control
Integrations should make it possible to trace the flow of data: what was sent, when, from which system, and with what status. This matters for GDPR, NIS2, DORA, ISO 27001 and internal security controls.
Scaling without linear cost growth
A well-designed integration layer allows higher throughput and a larger number of data flows to be handled without a proportional rise in maintenance cost. iPaaS helps standardise integrations, monitoring and error handling.
What we deliver on this project
Azure Logic Apps and Functions
We use Azure Logic Apps for low-code workflow and integration, Azure Functions for custom logic, Azure Service Bus for asynchronous communication, and Azure API Management to manage APIs.
MuleSoft Anypoint Platform
We implement MuleSoft for organisations choosing an independent iPaaS platform. Scope may include Anypoint Studio, API-led connectivity, hybrid integrations and the gradual modernisation of an existing integration landscape.
iDoc, BAPI, OData, REST and GraphQL
We design integrations using SAP protocols and modern APIs. We work with iDoc, BAPI, OData, REST and GraphQL, and for non-standard systems we also build custom connectors.
Event-driven architecture
We build event-driven integrations using Apache Kafka, Azure Event Grid and SAP Event Mesh. Scope may include real-time scenarios, event sourcing and CQRS.
Monitoring and audit trail
We design throughput monitoring, alerting for errors and anomalies, and an audit trail of data transfers. Every production integration should have an owner, a status, logs and a defined incident-management model.
How we deliver projects in this area
An integration project starts by mapping the system landscape: SAP applications, SaaS systems, cloud solutions, existing integrations, gaps and bottlenecks. On this basis we prepare an integration architecture and MVP scope, determining which flows should run through SAP CPI / Integration Suite, which through Azure Logic Apps, MuleSoft or custom APIs, and which require event-driven architecture. The first integration - typically SAP with one key SaaS system - is usually delivered in 4-8 weeks. At this stage we validate the security model, monitoring, error handling and audit trail. Scaling the integration layer and taking over existing integrations usually takes 6-18 months, depending on the number of systems, protocols, business dependencies and compliance requirements.

FAQ - Integrations and API
SAP CPI or Azure Logic Apps? +
SAP CPI is usually the better choice for SAP-centric organisations with a large number of integrations within the SAP ecosystem. Azure Logic Apps suits Microsoft-centric and hybrid environments, where SAP is one of many systems. In practice, some organisations use both solutions.
Do we need a dedicated iPaaS? +
For 1-10 simple integrations, a dedicated iPaaS is not always necessary. Beyond 20+ integrations, an iPaaS platform helps standardise development, monitoring, error handling, security and maintenance, which usually translates into a lower cost of development and upkeep.
Is SAP iDoc still needed? +
Yes. iDoc is still used in many SAP-to-SAP, B2B and EDI scenarios. For new integrations, OData, REST and SAP Integration Suite are often recommended, but iDoc can still be the optimal solution for selected processes.
How do we audit existing integrations? +
An audit of the integration landscape covers an inventory of data flows, documentation, monitoring, integration owners, technical risks and business dependencies. The result is a map of the current state and a modernisation plan with priorities.
