Through the Open Connectors cloud-based integration platform, you can quickly connect to and integrate with a variety of external systems and services, including CRM programs, marketing automation programs, social media sites, and more.
Without the need for custom coding, Open Connectors is a set of prebuilt connectors, referred to as adapters, which can be used to connect to systems and services.
To integrate numerous systems and applications throughout your organization, use Open Connectors, which is a component of SAP Integration Suite, a complete integration platform. SAP Integration Suite offers a number of functionalities, including process integration, data integration, and application integration.
To connect to numerous other systems and services for use as part of larger integration projects, Open Connectors, as a supplement to SAP Integration Suite, offer a quick and simple solution. An integration process can be sped up, less custom coding is required, and your integration connections can be simply managed from a single location by using Open Connectors.
To build end-to-end connection scenarios and processes, Open Connectors can be used in conjunction with other integration services from SAP Integration Suite, such as Cloud Integration and API Management. In general, Open Connectors is an essential part of SAP Integration Suite to enable your business to expand its connectivity and integration capabilities outside of the SAP ecosystem.
With Open Connectors, your business can automate and accelerate its critical business processes. By integrating SAP solutions with external applications, data can be seamlessly synchronized, eliminating manual data entry and reducing the risk of errors. For instance, when a new customer is created in Salesforce, Open Connectors can automatically update the customer’s information in a corresponding SAP system. This automation not only saves time but also ensures data consistency across systems, leading to enhanced operational efficiency.
When integrating systems, security and compliance are of course paramount. Open Connectors provides robust security measures to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data during integration processes. This feature supports secure authentication protocols, encrypted data transmission, and data masking techniques to safeguard sensitive information. Furthermore, Open Connectors adheres to industry-standard compliance regulations, such as General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), enabling businesses to meet regulatory requirements and maintain data privacy.
By incorporating Open Connectors into SAP Integration Suite, your organization can leverage a comprehensive set of tools and technologies to achieve seamless and efficient integration across their entire application landscape. Whether you’re connecting SAP systems with external applications, integrating cloud applications, or enabling data synchronization between various systems, Open Connectors provide the necessary capabilities to simplify and accelerate the integration process, ultimately helping your business achieve its digital transformation goals.
Open Connectors should be considered a capability of SAP Integration Suite, as shown in this figure.
