How the Geonexus Integration Platform Simplifies Integration to SAP

Introduction to the Geonexus Integration Platform

The Geonexus Integration Platform’s core purpose is to empower organizations to reduce the cost and complexity around integration implementation and maintenance. With the Geonexus Integration Platform, organizations can synchronize enterprise data from any number of GIS, CIS, or EAM systems using our library of connectors. All of this is possible with little to no code required, avoiding the costly and time-consuming undertaking of designing a custom integration from scratch – a process that typically takes years to complete and requires rework to fix bugs or apply updates down the line. 

The SAP Connector 

The SAP connector within the Geonexus Integration Platform is designed to reduce project scope and cost by eliminating some of the complex data management and scripting synonymous with SAP. With most integration solutions, the lack of endpoints in SAP usually spells long implementation cycles and leaves organizations with a convoluted collection of code to maintain – even after initial implementation is complete. The Geonexus solution to the challenges outlined with SAP integration achieves two main goals:

 

  • Develop an OData structure within SAP, which enables a local no-code model for integration. 
  • Provide citizen integrators with tools to simplify integration configuration, to monitor the integration post go-live, and adjust to new edge system software versions and business needs. 

Configuration capabilities within the SAP connector include the freedom to leverage any SAP data source in the platform’s open architecture to write to and from other target connector applications, including IBM Maximo, Azure, Oracle WAM/CC&B, Hitachi, ABB Ellipse/Asset Suite and HxGN EAM. Also included are support for translation matrices through value lists, support for calculated values and dynamic attribute creation, key generation capabilities and off-the-shelf reporting on the integrity of your enterprise data.  

The Geonexus SAP connector is developed to meet the customized nature of each organization’s SAP business logic while providing long-term manageability and configurability through easy-to-use tools within the integration platform. Ultimately, this method provides the best of both worlds with the low code, low maintenance integration to an SAP endpoint and a no-code user interface that contains dynamic functionality.  

How the SAP Connector Improves Your Workflow 

Implementing the Geonexus Integration Platform enables your organization to spend less time, money, and resources on managing your important SAP or other enterprise data. Instead, you can dedicate those resources to other parts of your workflow, preventing a poor integration experience and improving your service capabilities across the board. It’s amazing what’s possible when your integration solution does the heavy lifting for you – not the other way around. 

With every integration implementation, each Geonexus customer discovers a part of their workflow they didn’t know they could improve, but common benefits include less time spent hunting and fixing errors, significantly improved data integrity, and increased asset reliability.
