The first stage of MTD was introduced by HMRC in April 2019. For now, it is only VAT returns that must be recorded digitally and submitted using the new service. However, it is likely [...]

SAP® software integration with other systems – 4 options

2023-12-05T15:26:49+00:00

Integration with other systems - 4 options Middleware Process Integration (PI) or Process Orchestration (PO): Process Integration and Process Orchestration middleware provides excellent on-premise integration between legacy systems and SAP® applications. However, middleware is heavily reliant on specialist developers to develop and maintain systems as they grow in complexity. As business needs change, there can be an impact on the integration points of the relevant software. Knowledge of SAP® solutions alone is not enough in order to create robust integrated solutions. Developers also need to understand the applications that they are integrating with - which means that your existing SAP® solutions developers may not have the necessary knowledge or skills. 3rd Party Middleware: Third party middleware can be on-premise or cloud-based and essentially offers SAP® solutions integration with [...]

8 essentials to integrate Salesforce with SAP® solutions business case Like all major business investments, the most successful integration projects are underpinned by good, solid business cases. Reliable and complete Salesforce integration with SAP® solutions should drive business efficiencies through better collaboration between sales, finance, production, logistics and customer service.

Integrating SAP® software with other systems – 10 benefits of MATRIX iPaaS

2023-12-05T15:26:50+00:00
