If SAP runs your business, TIBCO connects your digital business—certifiably

Blog: The Tibco Blog

If your business runs SAP, you know that SAP is critical to your business. Your SAP implementation maintains not only your vital business processes but also your core business data used by those processes. Since your SAP systems sit at the heart of your organization, they play an important role in your journey to a digital business. 

But to get there, you need to integrate SAP with everything in your organization. A digital business executes at lightning speed, identifies and acts on opportunities immediately, and creates game-changing digital experiences for its customers. All of this requires a wide range of integrations with your SAP systems, thus integration lies at the heart of your digital business.

SAP connectivity is an important component of TIBCO integration offerings, developed through years of experience with many of the largest SAP implementations. Suffice it to say, TIBCO, an integration leader for decades, knows SAP. 

TIBCO can connect SAP to all your systems

With TIBCO Cloud Integration, our Integration Platform-as-a-Service (iPaas), you can create easy to use, standard interfaces to the business data and processes locked up in your SAP environment using a variety of pre-built connectors provided by TIBCO, for SAP S/4HANA, SAP HANA, SAP ECC, SAP Successfactors, SAP Concur, and more. These connectors are feature and security-rich, performance-optimized, and thoroughly tested by TIBCO to help ensure that the processes that integrate with your SAP systems execute without disruption. You can learn more about connectivity options provided by TIBCO to a wide variety of endpoints, including for SAP, at the link here.

TIBCO is SAP certified

The strength of connectivity capabilities provided by TIBCO is recognized by SAP. In September, the TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Plug-in for SAP Solutions once again earned the “SAP certified solution” branding. Customers use this connector within TIBCO BusinessWorks software—part of TIBCO Cloud Integration—where you can visually create highly reliable, scalable, and secure services and integrations that are critical to your business. Achieving this certification means that the connector has passed a rigorous set of engineering quality tests conducted by SAP experts. It has been certified for integration with both SAP^® S/4HANA on-premise edition as well as SAP NetWeaver^®-based apps, thus, with a single connector, you can connect to both your modern and legacy SAP applications.  TIBCO also makes a connector available for SAP S/4HANA Cloud as well.

The TIBCO ActiveMatrix BusinessWorks Plug-in for SAP Solutions is not only robust but also highly flexible, in that it allows you to interface with your SAP implementation in a number of ways, depending on your business requirements. Through a single connection, you can read, post, and manage intermediate documents (IDocs) such as sales orders (ex: ORDERS01) and order invoices (ex: INVOIC02); perform real-time queries and updates on SAP business objects through the business application programming interface (BAPI); and execute SAP advanced business application programming functions that have been RFC-enabled.

Create a single source of business truth

With full connectivity provided through TIBCO Cloud Integration, you can create a single source of business truth in your organization by keeping all business systems in sync with your SAP implementation automatically. By breaking down information silos, you now have complete, accurate, and timely SAP data available throughout your enterprise. 

With TIBCO, you can also uncover superior customer insights by integrating your CRM platform, such as Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics CRM, with your SAP ERP systems. Through a common customer database, you can also quickly create comprehensive customer reports, and automate customer-centric processes. And you can streamline your transition to SAP S/4HANA, which must be completed by the end of 2025 for continued support from SAP. TIBCO Cloud Integration allows you to create an API fabric that hides the technical details of your SAP services, enabling a more seamless migration and minimizing business disruptions.
