Connect SAP with Every part of your business using Boomi

SAP is one of the powerful enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. SAP cloud platform offers a rich set of methodologies, more advanced software tools to get your ERP solution on track quickly to help to achieve your business goals.

Any enterprise system remains at the center-stage of an organization and hence it requires exchanging data with all systems in the organization IT ecosystem – may it be CRM, supply chain, asset management, etc. Therefore, connecting all these systems with Enterprise Resource Planning (SAP) is a crucial part of the integration.

Any ERP system has its own complication or intricacies to meet organizational needs that cause integration with any third-party system a complex subject. The common challenges faced across the industry during SAP integration with other systems are:

Challenges:

• Technical limitations faced while integrating SAP cloud platform with third-party systems.
• Incompatibility with configuration results in more complications and expenses.
• Poor knowledge of existing methodologies highly impacts on project deliverables.
• A remarkable communication approach along with the implementation practice must be developed to carry out SAP Integration with Boomi Atomsphere.

3. Community:

   Through its community empowered approach, Boomi helps reducing training, staffing requirements, development costs, and faster time to market to realize value on your investment.

   Boomi community is a delivery methodology that includes practices, services, training, etc.

Jade Global Approach:

With its strong presence in integration space, especially in Boomi, and multiple integration implementation using Boomi with SAP (SAP on-prem and on-cloud), Jade brings a blend of technology and domain expertise to overcome challenges on enterprise application side even before actual integration is started.

These challenges are due to the way SAP is generally implemented in organizations leading to customization for example pop-ups causing BAPI to break or internal cross-references etc. We bring the expertise along with a checklist and other accelerators to quickly rule out various roadblocks in your enterprise system and hitting the right place to address. This helps reducing time to market by 3-4 times than the typical traditional way of approaching integration.
