The All-in-One Toolbox: SAP Cloud Integration

SAP Cloud Integration is a comprehensive, cloud-based solution for connecting SuccessFactors with SAP and non-SAP applications. 

Key features include:

•          Low-Code Integration: Build integration processes with minimal coding, using standard adapters for SuccessFactors, SFTP, AWS, HTTPS, and more. Below you will find an example of what such a low-code process looks like. 

•          Advanced Capabilities: Supports advanced mapping, routing, data manipulation, and error handling. JavaScript and GroovyScript are optional for advanced customization.

•          Prebuilt Integrations: Hundreds of pre-built integrations for SAP and third-party applications reduce deployment time and complexity. 

Cloud Integration is typically the go-to tool for our clients that use multiple SAP products, including on-premise ones. The platform typically requires little maintenance adding to its value proposition. The centralized monitoring of integration processes is a generally appreciated feature which helps to reduce response times to incidents. The low-code nature of the solution allows organizations without in-house developer capacity to delegate integration development and maintenance to functional application management.

Considerations before you dive in

While robust, SAP Cloud Integration requires a separate license, which may not be cost-effective for all scenarios. Setting up the platform and mastering its features takes time compared to ready-to-use tools like Integration Center. However, for businesses leveraging multiple SAP products, the long-term value often outweighs the initial investment.
