Integration Suite
SAP Integration Suite is a modern, scalable integration platform as a service (iPaaS) that connects applications, data and processes across SAP and third-party systems. It simplifies integration complexity and supports hybrid IT environments with a robust set of tools, including API management, cloud integration and pre-built integration content.
The solution allows users to build and manage integration flows between cloud and on-premises systems without modifying the core of SAP Cloud ERP and other SAP applications. It supports both synchronous and event-driven integration patterns, enabling reliable data exchange across various applications.
Key capabilities include:
- API management: Designing, publishing and monitoring APIs in a secure environment
- Cloud integration: A visual editor to create integration flows (iFlows)
- Advanced event mesh: Support for asynchronous, event-driven communication for real-time responsiveness
- SAP Business Accelerator Hub: Access to thousands of prebuilt integration packs for faster deployment
This service is foundational for organizations maintaining clean core principles by shifting custom logic and extensions out of the ERP system. It plays a central role in ERP modernization and SAP Cloud ERP migrations by providing a stable, decoupled layer for system-to-system communication.
Why integration is foundational to SAP customers
Modern enterprises are moving away from monolithic systems toward a “composable” approach. SAP Integration Suite is part of the foundation of this strategy, as it allows organizations to treat business capabilities like modular building blocks. IT teams can swap out third-party services or add new cloud applications without disrupting core SAP processes, so the business remains agile and responsive to market changes.
By utilizing the SAP Business Accelerator Hub, organizations can also bypass months of custom development. Its pre-built, SAP-supported integration flows (iFlows) provide a “plug-and-play” experience for common scenarios. They significantly reduce project risk, shorten implementation timelines for SAP Cloud ERP migrations and ensure that integrations remain stable even during major system upgrades.
Finally, maintaining a clean core is the single most important factor for long-term ERP sustainability. By shifting custom logic, data mapping and third-party extensions into SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) via Integration Suite, organizations eliminate technical debt within the ERP. This decoupling ensures that the core ERP stays standard, making future updates frictionless and allowing IT leaders to focus resources on innovation rather than maintenance.
Operationalizing your SAP integration layer
While SAP Integration Suite excels at technical connectivity and data movement (iFlows), RunMyJobs by Redwood provides the orchestration layer required to manage complex, multi-step business processes. It ensures the accurate and expedient execution of thousands of sequential steps required to integrate end-to-end processes. As a Service Orchestration and Automation Platform (SOAP), RunMyJobs acts as a control plane, making sure integration flows execute at the precise moment they’re needed within a broader enterprise workflow.
RunMyJobs enhances the suite by providing:
- Conditional process orchestration: Automatically trigger SAP Integration Suite flows based on upstream business events, such as a file arrival, a database update or the successful completion of an S/4HANA background job.
- End-to-end dependency management: Sequence integration tasks alongside non-SAP applications and legacy systems, so data only moves — or communication only happens — once all prerequisites are met.
- Predictive SLA management: Go beyond simple “pass/fail” monitoring by applying sophisticated, AI-enabled service-level agreement (SLA) alerts and automated recovery logic to integration flows, keeping business-critical processes on schedule.
- Unified operational visibility: Consolidate monitoring across multiple SAP Integration Suite tenants, SAP BTP services and on-premises environments and all other SAP and non-SAP workflows into a single pane of glass for simplified auditing and troubleshooting.
Use cases for RunMyJobs and SAP Integration Suite
The combination of RunMyJobs and SAP Integration Suite is most valuable when business processes require complex timing, high volumes or cross-platform dependencies that go beyond standard scheduling.
- Event-driven supply chain: Respond in real-time to supply chain shifts. RunMyJobs can detect a status change in an external warehouse system and immediately trigger an integration flow to update S/4HANA inventory levels, maintaining data consistency across the global landscape.
- Financial close cycles: Accelerate the month-end close by automating data extraction from multiple legacy ERPs or data warehouses. RunMyJobs orchestrates the routing of this data through Integration Suite into SAP Central Finance, tracking strict SLAs to ensure the books are closed on time and in compliance.
- Managed file transfers (MFT) and ingestion: Many integration patterns start with a file transfer. RunMyJobs manages the secure movement of large datasets across hybrid environments, then automatically triggers SAP Integration Suite to ingest and process the content once the file transfer is verified and complete.
- Order-to-cash orchestration: Coordinate end-to-end workflows that span S/4HANA, third-party CRMs and logistics platforms. RunMyJobs manages the sequence of events, triggering the necessary iFlows in SAP Integration Suite to move data between systems while monitoring the entire process for errors or delays.
Coordinate integration flows across the enterprise
Eliminate the need for different data connectors for each network environment. Automate business processes across SAP and other applications, whether on-premises or cloud-based, using RunMyJobs.
