In today’s business world, SAP systems are often the powerful tools of choice for large and complex data management and business processes. However, many companies not only use SAP solutions, but also incorporate various Non-SAP systems, applications and software into their business processes. At this point, SAP-SAP integration as well as integration with Non-SAP systems is of great importance.
What is SAP and Non-SAP?
SAP is the ERP software used by businesses to manage complex business processes. Non-SAP refers to all software and applications other than SAP.
Necessity of Integration with Non-SAP Systems
Businesses should integrate with Non-SAP systems to ensure data consistency and maintain data synchronisation in processes. For example, accurate and up-to-date data flow between an e-commerce platform or CRM system and SAP ERP is critical for customer satisfaction and operational efficiency.
Modern businesses create more efficient business processes by using various software and applications together. Integration of an inventory management software or a finance application with the SAP system enables better management of business processes.
Integration Methods
API Based Integration: By using API (Application Programming Interface), data can be exchanged between SAP systems and Non-SAP applications. This method offers a fast and effective way for data integration. It is especially preferred for integration with modern cloud-based applications.
- Data Integration Tools: ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) tools and data integration software manage data transfer and transformation between different systems. These tools ensure that the data is accurately transferred to the SAP system.
- Middleware Usage: Middleware solutions facilitate data and application integration between different systems. SAP’s solutions such as Process Orchestration (PO) or Integration Suite and MIP play an important role in such integrations.
- EDI (Electronic Data Interchange) and Web Services: EDI standards and Web services automate the exchange of data between different systems and ensure data accuracy. These methods are widely used, especially for supply chain and financial transactions.
Integration between SAP systems and Non-SAP systems is critical to increase the efficiency of businesses, ensure data consistency and optimise business processes. Thanks to these integrations, businesses can make better decisions, reduce operational costs and gain competitive advantage.
