The parallel use of SAP as ERP and SharePoint as portal and collaboration software promises simplification and increased efficiency. The SAP user interface is quite complex and difficult to use, especially for occasional users.
By transferring classic business processes to a web-based portal and the ability to edit documents, workflows, approvals etc. from SharePoint in real time, the aim is to make operation more user-friendly.
However, connecting these two systems is anything but trivial. The employees responsible for implementation are usually also aware of the associated problems.
In addition to the time-consuming integration, this is mainly due to the difficulty of making adjustments to SharePoint. With its portal and integration software Intrexx, the Freiburg-based manufacturer United Planet offers a way to harmonize and enhance the team from SAP and SharePoint.
Existing standard adapters to these systems, among others, make this easy and programming-free to implement. In addition, workflows and customized applications should be easy to create, with which a SharePoint can be extended/adapted extremely flexibly without changing the platform itself. It can therefore remain close to the standard, which reduces maintenance and service costs.
