Integration

In the era of AI and cloud technology, integration is everything. To eliminate silos, reduce manual processes, drive efficiency, and provide your enterprise with the contextualized data that it needs to fuel new initiatives in AI, Sierra Digital provides integration through applications built on the SAP Business Technology Platform.

Integration is one of the five core principles of the SAP Business Technology Platform, and at Sierra, we sometimes describe SAP BTP as an integration platform. SAP BTP is often a clear choice for SAP customers looking to promote integration at their enterprise.

Features

With integrations rapidly built on SAP BTP, your enterprise can enjoy features like:

Pre-built Integrations and Adapters

SAP BTP provides a wide range of pre-configured integration packages and adapters via the SAP Integration Suite. These include connectors for SAP and non-SAP systems, enabling faster and more reliable integration development.

Support for Multiple Integration Pattern

The platform supports various integration patterns, such as application-to-application (A2A), business-to-business (B2B), and business-to-government (B2G). This versatility ensures seamless connectivity across diverse ecosystems.

Event-Driven Architecture

With event-driven integration capabilities, SAP BTP allows real-time data synchronization and processing using tools like SAP Event Mesh, improving responsiveness and agility in business processes.

Open Standards and Interoperability

SAP BTP supports open integration standards like OData, REST, SOAP, and GraphQL, ensuring interoperability with third-party systems and custom applications.

Centralized Monitoring and Management

The platform provides centralized tools for monitoring and managing integrations through the Integration Cockpit. Users can track message flows, resolve errors, and ensure operational continuity with ease.

Benefits

Through apps built on SAP BTP, Sierra Digital promotes integration and drives real business value with benefits like:

Accelerated Time-to-Value

Enhanced Business Agility

SAP BTP enables dynamic, event-driven integrations and supports hybrid environments, allowing businesses to adapt swiftly to changing market demands and regulatory requirements.

Cost Efficiency

By leveraging reusable integration content, open standards, and cloud-native tools, organizations can minimize development costs, optimize resource utilization, and reduce the need for extensive custom coding.

Scalability and Future-Readiness

Built on a flexible cloud architecture, SAP BTP supports scalable integrations and provides the foundation to integrate emerging technologies, such as IoT, AI, and machine learning, ensuring long-term adaptability.

How We Help

The SAP Business Technology Platform is the future of customization: In a world of cloud technology, to maximize efficiency and avoid system disruptions, Clean Core methodologies are an important business practice. Many enterprises are looking to retire the customizations that may fail or malfunction as they introduce new updates from SAP. But with app extensions on SAP BTP, the enterprise can still support their unique business processes while maintaining accepted best practices of digital hygiene.

Sierra’s bespoke BTP apps are a quicker, more cost-effective alternative to classic customizations, and they support Clean Core practices. And Sierra supports bespoke BTP development with robust customer success packages, including Assessments, enablement sessions, and design-thinking workshops hosted at Sierra AppHaus Houston, a creative space built to invite free-thinking innovation and encourage a Human-Centered Approach to design.
