Enterprise Integration with SAP and WSO2 ESB

SAP software solutions are widely used among product and process oriented enterprises for finance, operations, HR and many other aspects of the business. SAP ERP solutions provide enterprises with reliable and efficient platforms to build and integrate enterprise or business wide data and information systems with ease.

One of the drawbacks however, is the vendor lock-in associated with SAP software and the relative inflexibility of SAP solutions to align itself with the business model or customization required. Having understood these challenges, SAP software vendors are moving towards exposing their solutions to SOA.

WSO2 ESB on the other hand exposes many SAP based technologies along with native SOA integration technologies, leveraging the power of both worlds.

WSO2 ESB has the capability to connect existing SAP based solutions of an enterprise with other data/business oriented systems and to mix-and-match user requirements with minimal effort. Hence, enterprises can keep parts of their systems independent of SAP and extensible for many other systems/solutions and middleware as well.
