SAP Integration Suite

SAP's enterprise integration platform-as-a-service (iPaaS) on BTP. Covers cloud-to-cloud, cloud-to-on-premise, and B2B integration through a unified suite of capabilities including API management, event streaming, and pre-built connectors.

Overview

SAP Integration Suite consolidates SAP's integration capabilities into a single BTP subscription. The flagship capability is Cloud Integration (formerly SAP Cloud Platform Integration, or CPI) — an iPaaS with a graphical iFlow designer, message mapping tools, and over 2,500 pre-built integration flows for connecting SAP and third-party applications.

Beyond Cloud Integration, the suite includes API Management (a full API gateway and developer portal), Event Mesh (pub/sub messaging for event-driven architectures), Open Connectors (170+ pre-built connectors to third-party SaaS platforms), and Integration Advisor (AI-assisted B2B message mapping using industry standards like EDIFACT, ANSI X12, and UN/CEFACT).

SAP Integration Suite is the recommended integration layer for all S/4HANA cloud and hybrid landscapes under the SAP Integration Advisory Framework (IATF). It replaces SAP Process Orchestration (PO) as the strategic integration platform.

Cloud Integration — graphical iFlow designer with 2,500+ pre-built flows

SAP Integration Advisory Framework (IATF)

SAP recommends the Integration Advisory Framework for defining your integration strategy. IATF classifies integration use cases into patterns (A2A, B2B, Process Orchestration, Data Integration) and maps each to the recommended SAP Integration Suite capability. Available on the SAP Help Portal and as an assessment tool in the BTP cockpit.
