What is SAP Integration Suite?
Integration: The catalyst for innovation in today’s world
Integration, the foundation of an intelligent enterprise, is becoming the number one strategic priority for organisations. Only by connecting customer, product, employee, and brand experiences with business operations, continuously and in real time, can organisations exploit the full potential of their system landscape and make the right decision at the right time.
Reimagining What’s Possible with Connected Processes
To maximise your business performance amid growing unpredictability, it’s crucial to connect customer, partner, and employee experiences with your operations. SAP® Integration Suite helps you integrate and connect faster, enabling your business to gain the agility and foresight required to navigate change, innovate, and thrive.
IT landscapes are increasingly distributed across corporate data centres and multiple clouds with business processes supported by heterogeneous applications and composable modules. These must all exchange data with other systems, making automation and interactions challenging. Plus, there is a growing need to collaborate with customers and partners across value chains to avert supply chain disruption, increase efficiency, and improve sustainability. These business objectives make connecting internal and external systems a top priority.
With SAP Integration Suite, you can integrate solutions inside and outside your data centre. You can accelerate connectivity with prebuilt integration flows, connectors to hundreds of systems, thousands of APIs, and other capabilities that simplify integrations with SAP and third-party applications. As shown in the figure, connecting people in real time becomes a reality with event- driven architectures and intelligent technology that helps you automate comprehensive business processes to gain efficiency and visibility.
Comprehensive Integration Capabilities in One Solution
SAP Integration Suite is an AI-assisted integration platform as a service (iPaaS). With this single solution, you can connect applications from SAP and third parties, whether they run on premise or across clouds. You can use a combination of integration modes to address specific use cases and run your integrations on major public clouds for greater flexibility.
Robust functionality in SAP Integration Suite means you can confidently integrate and manage your mission-critical processes across SAP and third-party applications in complex and distributed landscapes. Enterprise-grade capabilities include 99.95% uptime, multizone availability, failover prevention, and elastic scaling for high performance and throughput.
Innovating with modular functionalities becomes easier as SAP Integration Suite offers capabilities for composability, real-time event management, and API management. You can also use a centralised hub to access over 3,800 APIs from SAP and its partners that help you innovate faster.
Using various cloud solutions from SAP, connected using SAP Integration Suite, we created a highly integrated, digital process network, based on best practices. This supports growth and has optimised our total cost of ownership.

Rapid Time to Value with Accelerated Connectivity
SAP Integration Suite offers over 3,400 ready-to-go integrations and connectors for both SAP and third-party solutions. Built and maintained by SAP and our ecosystem of partners, these prebuilt integrations accelerate connectivity and deliver superior time to value.
Based on SAP Integration Solution Advisory Methodology, the Integration Assessment capability further accelerates your integration projects. It enables integration architects, practitioners, and business users to collaborate while relying on trusted best practices to manage and deploy integrations more efficiently, maximising your chances of successful integrations.
Real-world problems often span multiple lines of business, services, and APIs, and it can be a challenge for even the most experienced developers to understand the relationships between them. With SAP Integration Suite, you can take advantage of data semantics in SAP One Domain Model defined for business objects such as product, customer, or order information. You can also understand the business context in which they are used. Meanwhile, with capabilities in SAP Integration Suite, such as Graph, and SAP Business Accelerator Hub, you can quickly explore, test-drive, and document APIs to access SAP-managed data, regardless of where it resides.

Connectivity That Empowers People Across Your Business
Businesses are increasingly adopting event-driven architectures to deliver real-time situational awareness and peak-load scalability across distributed landscapes. The scalable Cloud Integration and Event Mesh capabilities in SAP Integration Suite enable applications to immediately notify interested parties in multiple locations when changes and new business events happen. These real-time communications allow back-office and front-office employees, customers, and suppliers to rely on consistent, up-to-date information and collaborate efficiently.
The prompt notification of relevant events also makes it possible to deliver personalised experiences to business process participants.
Recognising that many companies have limited budgets and resources, SAP Integration Suite offers comprehensive AI-assisted cloud integration capabilities to empower more people to contribute to integration projects. For example, specialised AI-driven capabilities can create and manage partner-specific integrations, helping your supply chain teams modernise and avoid unscalable direct integrations.
