CHARACTERISTICS TO CHECK BEFORE GETTING STARTED WITH SAP CLOUD PLATFORM INTEGRATION
The HokuApps SAP Cloud Integration platform is essential for any company looking to implement a future-proof, efficient and cost-effective work environment. Cloud computing affects critical aspects of a business in the current milieu. A wide range of operations— sales, human capital management, marketing, supply chain, manufacturing, finance, pricing, and ordering— stand to benefit from SAP Cloud Integration. As businesses transition to the Cloud, they require migration and integration solutions. Each vendor providing SAP ERP cloud solutions creates their own interface to the application. This challenges IT organizations, especially ones with extensive global branches. Each branch would struggle to comprehend and manage unique application interfaces. Integrating applications from Cloud to Cloud and Cloud to on-premise can pose myriad problems. It is for these reasons that the HokuApps SAP Cloud Integration solution is invaluable to a modern enterprise IT.

THE HOKUAPPS APPROACH TO INTEGRATING APPLICATIONS As is true with any tool, there exists preferred practices to implement designs. A poor design would mean protracted integration timelines or even failure while processing large volumes of data. Each endpoint varies in requirement and integration flow must be able to use the features available to reap the benefits. For example, processing data in batches to optimize the speed of transactions. HokuApps offers a SaaS installation model. Its SAP Cloud Integration tools allow Cloud-to-Cloud, Cloud to on-premise and on-premise to on-premise integration. This facilitates both real-time and batch integration.
DEVELOPING INTEGRATIONS A project must contain integration workflows or orchestrations. At the point of project completion, it must be instantly published to the runtime environment.

HOKUAPPS CONNECTORS
The HokuApps SAP Cloud Integration platform contains inbuilt connectors for over 500 applications. However, setting up a connector for each application in the market is not feasible. Companies often choose to connect to their own internal applications. One can use web services that provide generic connectivity or use the database to connect to applications. But the HokuApps’ custom Connector Development Kit (CDK) can develop a specific connector to an application. The HokuApps custom connector will save time and resources on IT services that would be required to set up a connector. The CDK is a wizard-driven tool that facilitates creating a connector to abstract, specific functionality of the application, for example inserting new records or updating existing records. The CDK provides tools required to not only create the connector but also to perform varied functions such as unit testing, integration testing, packaging and deploying the connector.
