What is SAP Cloud

Integration?

SAP Cloud Integration, formerly
known as SAP Cloud Platform
Integration (CPI), is essentially a
bridge between various software
systems and applications within your
organization.

Imagine it as a translator and data


exchange platform that connects
different islands of information.

How Does It Work?
Connects diverse systems: SAP Cloud
Integration bridges the gap between your
SAP systems, internal apps (CRM, ERP), and
even external partner/supplier systems.

Data exchange: It acts as a central hub,


seamlessly transferring data between
various systems. This eliminates manual
data entry and ensures everyone has up-to-
date information.

Transformation & routing: It can transform


data to suit different systems and route it to
the designated recipient based on
predefined rules.

Let us understand
with an Example

Let's say you run an online clothing store.
You use:

SAP S/4HANA: Manages your financial


data (orders, inventory, etc.
Webstore platform: Handles customer
orders and product information
Warehouse management
system: Tracks inventory levels and
fulfillment processes.

Without SAP Cloud
Integration, these
systems would
operate
independently

Here's where the bridge comes in:

Customer places an order on your webstore


SAP Cloud Integration captures the order
details
It then translates the order data into a format
understood by SAP S/4HANA
The data is transferred to S/4HANA, updating
your inventory and creating a sales order
Similarly, SAP Cloud Integration can send
relevant information to your warehouse
management system to initiate fulfillment.

has access to the same consistent information.

enables quicker responses and better insights.

Enhanced customer experience: Order
