SAP is a premier platform and enterprise application suite, vital to business worldwide.  The SAP portfolio is a comprehensive set of integrated business applications.  SAP R/3 and SAP S4/Hana are used to run nearly every line of business at major corporations.

The SAP ERP enterprise resource planning software manages processes across procurement, manufacturing, service, sales, finance, and HR.  It is built on a consolidated foundation and includes numerous Functional Modules and sub-modules as well as technical modules.

SAP Connectors for SharePoint

BA Insight’s SAP ERP (Cloud Version) Connector is designed to bring items from SAP into a search index.  This in turn lights up the UI and allows for a unified view across information in SAP, SharePoint, and other systems.

Our SAP ERP (Cloud Version) Connector:

  • Provides security trimming, only surfacing the content that users are permitted to see.
  • Is read-only and fully secure, eliminating risk to the SAP application.
  • Works with all types of data, providing access to both structured and unstructured information.
  • Provides both full and incremental crawls so users have the latest information.
  • Indexes every desired item with high throughput while avoiding any impact to SAP performance.
  • Provides a single consolidated search index referencing SAP ERP content, along with content from SharePoint and other repositories, resulting in a single unified result set.
  • After SAP is crawled, the search index has a representation pointing to the original content. This enables the users to click on a search result and be taken to the original item or document.
  • Supports both on-premise and cloud-based instances of SAP and SharePoint.

Flexible BAPI Integration

  • SAP tends to be highly customized and many companies have staff familiar with customizing SAP according to their business processes and requirements.
  • We integrate with SAP via the standard BAPI programming interface.  Our software talks to the SAP ABAP, and SAP Security modules.  Any of the SAP ERP functional modules and submodules can be integrated via this method.
  • Our customers and partners have full flexibility to create or modify BAPIs.

Future-proof Your Investment

As new versions of the search platforms are released, new features and functionality are introduced, and the same is true of new releases of SAP ERP (Cloud Version).
