As enterprises embrace digital transformation, seamless integration of diverse applications and data sources becomes critical. SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) offers a unified environment that combines database and data management, analytics, application development, and intelligent technologies. At the heart of enabling connectivity and orchestration within BTP lies the SAP Integration Suite, a powerful integration platform-as-a-service (iPaaS).
This article explores how SAP Integration Suite integrates with SAP BTP, enabling organizations to build scalable, agile, and intelligent integration scenarios that accelerate innovation and business value.
SAP BTP is a comprehensive cloud platform that brings together database services, analytics, application development, and intelligent technologies such as AI, machine learning, and robotic process automation (RPA). It empowers organizations to extend SAP solutions, integrate with third-party applications, and create new business processes.
SAP Integration Suite, a key service within BTP, acts as the integration backbone to connect cloud and on-premise systems efficiently.
Both SAP Integration Suite and other BTP services (like SAP Extension Suite, SAP Analytics Cloud) run natively on the SAP BTP infrastructure, ensuring low-latency communication, simplified user management via SAP Identity Authentication Service (IAS), and unified governance.
Developers building applications using SAP BTP Extension Suite can leverage SAP Integration Suite to orchestrate data flows, expose APIs, and integrate with backend ERP (SAP S/4HANA), CRM, or third-party solutions, enabling richer application functionality.
SAP Integration Suite’s API Management capabilities allow organizations to create, secure, publish, and monitor APIs that serve as reusable integration assets across BTP applications, facilitating standardized communication and governance.
SAP Event Mesh, a messaging service within BTP, integrates tightly with SAP Integration Suite to enable event-driven architectures. This allows real-time asynchronous communication and decoupling of services, improving scalability and responsiveness.
SAP Integration Suite connects seamlessly with BTP’s intelligent services like AI/ML APIs, Conversational AI, and RPA, allowing business processes to incorporate automation and intelligence through integrated workflows.
An enterprise uses SAP BTP to develop a custom employee onboarding application that integrates SAP SuccessFactors with SAP S/4HANA and third-party identity providers. SAP Integration Suite orchestrates this integration by:
This integration ensures a smooth, automated, and efficient onboarding process.
Integrating SAP Integration Suite with SAP Business Technology Platform creates a powerful synergy that empowers organizations to innovate rapidly, integrate seamlessly, and operate efficiently in a cloud-first world. By harnessing this integration, businesses can unlock new digital capabilities, streamline operations, and deliver superior user experiences across their SAP and non-SAP landscapes.
