SAP Integration Services,
Built To Connect.

SAP PI/PO is still in use but SAP is actively phasing it out. Standard maintenance ends December 2027, with extended support until 2030. SAP BTP Integration Suite is the strategic successor offering cloud-native integration, API management, event mesh, and modern capabilities PI/PO lacks. Most organizations are migrating now to avoid the 2027 crunch. We recommend starting migration planning immediately given typical 18-36 month timelines for complex landscapes.

Use SAP BTP Integration Suite for SAP-centric integration (S/4HANA extensions, PI/PO migration, Clean Core compliance, SAP-to-SAP scenarios). Use Workato for rapid SaaS integration, agentic AI orchestration, low-code citizen integrator scenarios, and when connecting SAP to 1200+ non-SAP applications. Many clients use both platforms together—BTP for SAP core, Workato for periphery and AI automation.

Timeline depends on landscape complexity: 50 interfaces (6-12 months), 100-200 interfaces (12-18 months), 200+ interfaces (18-36 months). We use SAP's Migration Assessment Tool to analyze interfaces and categorize them as "ready to migrate" (automated), "adjustment required" (minor changes), or "redesign recommended" (modernize with APIs/events). Phased migrations run PI/PO and Integration Suite in parallel to minimize risk.

We support all modern integration patterns: Synchronous (request-response APIs, OData, SOAP), Asynchronous (message queuing, pub/sub, event-driven), Batch (file transfer, scheduled jobs, bulk processing), Real-time (streaming, webhooks, change data capture), B2B (EDI, AS2, SFTP), and Hybrid (cloud-to-on-premise via Cloud Connector). Pattern selection depends on your specific use case requirements.

Security is architected from day one: encryption in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest, OAuth 2.0/SAML authentication, role-based access control, API rate limiting, threat detection, and audit logging. For manufacturing compliance: ITAR data sovereignty, FDA 21 CFR Part 11 validation, ISO 27001 security controls, and data residency requirements. All integrations include security review and penetration testing.

Costs vary by scope and approach. Simple integrations (5-10 interfaces, standard patterns): $50K-$150K. Medium complexity (20-50 interfaces, some custom): $150K-$500K. PI/PO migration (100+ interfaces, full modernization): $500K-$2M+. We provide fixed-price packages for standard scenarios and T&M for complex custom work. ROI typically achieved in 12-24 months through reduced maintenance costs, improved efficiency, and eliminated manual processes.
