Summary

We must say there are lots of other topics that we could discuss under cloud integration. For example, we could delve into B2B integration implementation using Integration Advisor. Or talk about the industry, or LoB-specific standard integration platforms, such as Ariba Cloud Integration Gateway (CIG), Document and Reporting Compliance service, Peppol Exchange Service, multi-bank connectivity, market communication in Cloud for Utilities (C4U), or the Information Collaboration Hub for Life Sciences. However, covering all of these in this book would be beyond its scope. We believe this chapter’s well-adjusted content is sufficient for architects to grasp most of the foundational concepts and design cloud integration architectures.

Integration is a vital domain for SAP; hence, it invests a lot to make its integration platform feature-rich so that it caters to almost all integration requirements, as expected from a complete enterprise integration platform as a service...
