Integration with SAP IS-U from external application

[Former Member]

Hi SAP for Utilities community!

I am evaluating the development of a solution developed in a web technology (.Net or Java) that will need to integrate with SAP IS-U.

I am familiar with integration with the SAP ERP through BAPIs (using the SAP .Net or Java connector) or Web Services.available in SAP PI.

My question is - are the technical interfaces exposed by SAP IS-U the same as the SAP ERP? Meaning, would SAP IS-U also expose BAPIs just like the ones exposed by the SAP ERP? What about web services?

I basically want to understand if the "technicalities" of the integration are the same, even if the APIs differ.

Thank you for all you help!

Kind Regards,

Daniel Lourenço
