Application integration: Future-proof your IT landscape with a modern approach to application integration
Application integration
Future-proof your IT landscape with a modern
approach to application integration
SAP Integration Suite simplifies and accelerates
application integration – empowering organiza-
tions to build and execute integration flows with
predefined integration content, including connec-
tors and adapters. This approach enables you to
facilitate connectivity to numerous applications
and software and accelerate innovation cycles
across distributed business areas – enhancing
business efficiency, IT flexibility, data protection,
and regulatory compliance. Additionally, you can
improve application control and transparency
by tracking integration content, processing, and
security.
Objectives
• Enable smooth data exchange between
applications internally and externally
• Connect applications across different
technologies, protocols, and data formats
• Jump-start your integrations with guidance
from industry leaders and domain experts
• Scale your integration infrastructure to accom-
modate demand without compromising
performance
• Protect your data and maintain compliance
with strict security measures and governance
practices
• Monitor integration health with anytime,
comprehensive, and accessible visibility
When integrating various applications, organizations often encounter significant
differences in data formats, protocols, and technologies. This can result in IT
landscapes lacking the flexibility, scalability, and security to keep up with the
pace of digital transformation. However, access to predefined integration
scenarios can help you avoid these challenges while realizing faster time
to value from your existing and new technology investments.

Benefits
• Continuous information sharing
Create a single point of application access to
save time searching for information and allow
different departments to leverage updated data
and improve internal and external collaboration.
• Increased operational agility and efficiency
Streamline business processes, connect with
partner systems, communicate internally and
externally with greater ease and security, and
focus on value-added activities – all while mini-
mizing the impact of unexpected disruptions.
• Greater ease of technology use
Provide a single, consistent, and personalized
interface to access many digital touch points,
eliminating the need to learn how to use
different applications and switch between
multiple screens.
• Reduced IT investment and TCO
Connect processes across existing and new
channels and applications to keep pace with
technology advancements. Using prebuilt
integration content and accelerators, you can
decrease initial and ongoing software costs.
• Business process optimization
Access near-real-time data from applications
with a single click, and facilitate automation,
streamlined workflows, and other process
optimization technology.
Connect and Automate Throughout Your
Application Environment and Beyond
With capabilities for building and executing inte-
gration flows, SAP Integration Suite helps ensure
that integrations are not only comprehensive,
secure, and compliant but also prepared to
scale as new transformation opportunities arise.
The Cloud Integration capability includes thou-
sands of prebuilt integration flows, hundreds
of connectors, and adapters sourced from
SAP and its partners. This suite also features the
Open Connectors capability to establish connec-
tivity with and between third-party applications.
These capabilities together support connectivity
with more than 250 third-party applications
through REST APIs.
All these tools can be found in SAP Integration
Suite and SAP Business Accelerator Hub. They
simplify the creation of data pipelines, reducing
the process to just a few clicks and enabling a
smooth data flow between different applications.
Furthermore, an adapter development kit is at
your disposal to create custom adapters when
designing integration flows, eliminating the need
for extensive custom integration coding efforts.
The application integration features of SAP Integration
Suite are also AI-enabled. For example, digital
assistants and design recommendations are avail-
able to facilitate the design of integration solutions.
Additionally, you can apply central governance and
monitoring capabilities to keep track of integration
content, integration processing, and the lifecycle
of security materials – further enhancing application
control and transparency.
Access to the suite’s Open Connectors capability
also lets you streamline the development experi-
ence for diverse application types and services.
Whether using REST, SOAP, a proprietary software
development kit (SDK), or a database in the back
end, your developers and integration users can
create a unified API layer and standards-based
implementation across different environments.
This decoupling of applications from back-end
services (including applications in legacy, on-
premise, remote, or regulated environments)
facilitates independent system evolution and
upgrades without compromising your overall
business operations.
