SAP Integration Suite

The starting condition

Interfaces accumulate faster than anyone retires them

  • Enterprise applications that rarely operate independently
  • Point-to-point interfaces multiplying dependencies
  • Support complexity that grows with every new connection
  • Hybrid requirements introduced by cloud adoption
  • APIs, events, batch, files and partner messages each solved separately
  • No shared governance, monitoring or reusable content across them
Solution introduction

A governed integration foundation for connected business processes

SAP Integration Suite provides a common environment across every integration pattern — application integration, APIs, events, B2B and EDI, and hybrid connectivity — with governance, monitoring, security and reusable content shared across all of them rather than rebuilt inside each interface. AI agents add a further requirement on top: controlled, observable access to enterprise systems.

VISCAP’s role is integration-focused — assessing the landscape, setting the architecture and governance, building and migrating the flows, and staying on for the monitoring and improvement that follow.

What it enables

Consulting & implementation role

VISCAP’s role across enterprise integration transformation

01

Integration landscape assessment

Establish what is actually connected today — the applications, the interfaces between them, the middleware carrying them, and the problems that keep coming back.

  • Current application landscape
  • Interface inventory
  • Middleware review
  • Business-process dependencies
  • Integration challenges
  • Security and operational requirements
  • Cloud and hybrid considerations
  • Integration roadmap
02

Integration architecture and governance

Settle the patterns before the projects: synchronous or asynchronous, API or event, and who owns each decision after we leave.

  • Integration principles
  • Pattern selection
  • Synchronous versus asynchronous decisions
  • API and event strategy
  • B2B architecture
  • Technology selection
  • Naming and development standards
  • Ownership and governance
03

Application and process integration

Build the flows themselves — transformation, routing, orchestration and error handling — with prebuilt content adapted rather than rewritten.

  • SAP-to-SAP integration
  • SAP and non-SAP integration
  • Cloud and on-premises connectivity
  • Message transformation
  • Routing
  • Orchestration
  • Error handling
  • Prebuilt-content adaptation
04

API and event enablement

Turn business services into governed APIs and business changes into published events, each with its policies and its consumers defined up front.

  • API inventory
  • API exposure
  • Security policies
  • API products
  • Developer and partner access
  • Business-event assessment
  • Event architecture
  • Event-triggered scenarios
05

B2B and partner connectivity

Bring trading partners onto the platform — agreements, standards, mappings, onboarding, and the monitoring that keeps those relationships working.

  • Partner landscape
  • Message standards
  • Trading-partner agreements
  • Mapping requirements
  • Partner onboarding
  • Testing
  • Monitoring
  • Operational governance
06

Middleware modernization

Move off SAP PI, Process Orchestration and point-to-point middleware — classified interface by interface, transitioned in phases, with coexistence planned rather than improvised.

  • SAP PI and Process Orchestration assessment
  • Migration Assessment
  • Interface classification
  • Migration and redesign decisions
  • Unsupported or obsolete interface review
  • Phased transition
  • Testing
  • Cutover and coexistence
07

Hybrid-runtime enablement

Where residency or latency requires processing close to the systems, stand up Edge Integration Cell without giving up central design and governance.

  • Edge Integration Cell assessment
  • Runtime architecture
  • Security and connectivity
  • Kubernetes readiness
  • Deployment considerations
  • Monitoring and operational ownership
08

Integration operations and continuous improvement

Integration is an operating discipline, not a project phase. Monitoring, alerting, certificate management, release readiness and reuse are what keep it from drifting back.

  • Monitoring model
  • Alerting
  • Support ownership
  • Error-resolution process
  • Certificate and credential management
  • Release readiness
  • Performance improvement
  • Integration reuse
  • Landscape governance
09

Agent-connectivity readiness

Decide which APIs become agent tools, which MCP servers exist, and what runtime policy allows them to do — before an agent programme decides it for you.

  • API and action inventory
  • Agent-tool exposure
  • MCP server considerations
  • Access and runtime policies
  • Observability
  • Connections with the wider Business AI programme

Frequently asked questions

SAP Integration Suite is SAP’s integration platform as a service, delivered on SAP BTP. It brings application integration, API management, events, B2B and EDI, and hybrid connectivity into one environment — so monitoring, security, governance and reusable content are shared across every pattern rather than solved separately for each interface.

Yes. Alongside SAP-to-SAP scenarios it connects SaaS platforms, legacy systems, third-party operational applications and partner systems, using the same transformation, routing, monitoring and governance as the SAP integrations beside them.

Application integration moves and transforms data between systems — the integration flow does the work. API management governs how a business service is exposed and consumed: security policies, traffic limits, versioning, analytics and who is permitted to call it. Most landscapes need both, and confusing the two is how organisations end up with unmanaged interfaces they call APIs.

When downstream systems need to react to a business change rather than ask for it — an order status moving, stock arriving, an employee joining. Publishing the event decouples the systems, so adding a new consumer later does not mean changing the producer.

Yes. Cloud-to-on-premises connectivity is standard, and where data residency, network constraints or local latency require processing closer to the systems, Edge Integration Cell provides a local runtime while design, transport and governance stay central.

By making agent connectivity governed rather than ad hoc. Selected APIs can be exposed as agent tools, MCP servers can be published under control, and runtime policies plus observability determine what an agent may actually reach and do — reusing the API investment already made instead of opening a second, unmanaged route into the landscape.

Integration Suite is the integration capability within SAP BTP, not a separate product beside it. BTP is the wider environment around it — application development, extensions, automation, data, analytics, AI and platform governance — so integrations live in the same place as everything built alongside them.

Yes, and those are among the most common scenarios: finance, procurement, sales and supply-chain flows for S/4HANA; employee, payroll, time, talent and benefits flows for SuccessFactors; customer, product, pricing, order and service flows for CX. Prebuilt content covers a useful share of the standard cases, with the adaptation to your own processes as the remaining work.

End to end — landscape assessment and interface inventory, target architecture and governance, build and test of the integrations, API and event enablement, B2B partner onboarding, middleware migration, then monitoring, support and continuous improvement once it is live.

Yes. We take on running landscapes as well as new builds: reviewing the architecture, improving monitoring and error handling, retiring duplicated interfaces, tightening API governance, and preparing the estate for agent connectivity.
