Cloud Computing + SAP PI

[former_member552929]

Hi Guru's

SAP provides an EDI/B2B managed services hub in a cloud computing environment that utilizes SAP technology including Netweaver PI. They specialize in operating and supporting EDI and B2B systems for SAP customers.

Then the SAP user no longer needs to use any third party EDI adapters, mapping tools, EDI consultants, etc. They can simply interface with the SAP EDI/B2B exchange and the EDI/B2B processes are then managed and supported at a considerable cost savings.

will this replace Seeburger Adapters? in SAP PI

will SAP provide EDI/B2B managed services in the SAP PI tool itself or it's a service?

what is the SAP roadmap for Cloud Computing?

role of cloud computing with SAP PI?

Thanks and Regards,

Hello,

I think there are many VAN or B2B Provider out there, and you always need to make the math if it pays for you or not. Besides PI with Adapters, classical B2B (standalone) Gateways the option to interface to a single (or multiple) external providers is an option.

For an external provider you need to make sure, that you can reach all your intended business partners, and that the costs are lower than with the other options. Typically outsourcing and insourcing trends in the industry alternate.
