Salesforce SAP Integration out-of-the-box
Integrating SAP into Salesforce is not rocket science - at least when you use the right tools.
The Challenge of Salesforce SAP Integration
The integration is not a technical challenge. SAP offers more than 30,000 standard APIs like BAPIs, RFCs, OData- and SOAP-web services. The challenge is to know which API to use and how to use it.
Custom Development or out-of-the-box Solution?
When you need a new car, do you build one yourself? Of course not, you get an one that was designed and built by a car manufacturer. The same way you should not write your own integrations - they will never be as good as what a standard software can offer. More about this on our Build vs. buy page.
Integration with all SAP versions like SAP ECC, SAP S/4HANA, private cloud and public cloud
The integration of SAP data into Salesforce is always helping your users to get a true Customer 360 view on their accounts. It allows them to work from one user interface instead of switching between multiple applications.
