SAP System Integration: Technology and Business Trends Complexities are a dime a dozen in the enterprise application integration landscape. No application can operate in isolation. To gain maximum advantages and highest returns on investments, companies need to integrate various front-end and back-end applications. Strategizing with a coherent integration strategy (such as SAP System Integration) directly impacts a company’s competitive potential. Previously, back-end solutions were not integrated with other external or customer applications. Furthermore, integration concerned involving proprietary APIs for custom integration.
With time, integration options have multiplied and complexity has been reduced. The emergence of Web services and SOA has offered new benefits with regards to cost, the value of time, and efficiency. Productization initiated by newer technologies has helped achieve reduced complexity, time- saving, and cost of integration. It is expected that in the next few years, large-scale disruptions will occur in the application integration space, driven by Cloud, mobile, and social media. This will result in changes in the integration approach, middleware consumption patterns, and strategies. Enterprises must, therefore, necessarily be equipped with a suitable SAP system integration strategy or, simply partner with the ‘best-of-breed’ integrator like HokuApps.

Each of these aspects affects SAP system integration in its own manner, thereby deserving scrutiny.
Integration Layers Factor for SAP Integration This factor views SAP System Integration from the perspective of enabling technology while offering multiple integration options across application, presentation, and data layers as well as corresponding technologies. This also enables stakeholders to garner visibility on the relevant layer at which the integration may operate to maximize advantages in terms of speed, cost, and the
