'SAP Data intelligence' or 'SAP CPI' tool Decision for my client

[former_member454517]

Hi Experts,

In our client land scape, we planning to integrate SAP ECC, Non-SAP(SDM) systems, APO,IBP with Ariba and some with rest applications running on cloud. some of my team members are planning to do POC using SAP DI(SAP Data Intelligence).

I hope, if it is integration point of view, SAP CPI(iflow) is better option to connection other cloud applications.

Please help me,which would be better and in which cases this tool decision factor will be made.

Thanks

Deviprasad.

The answer really depends on your own use case. I wouldn't start by just looking at the tools themselves and thinking which one is a better choice. I would start by answering what kind of problem I need to solve.

For example, if you need the data of a sales order to 'travel' across multiple systems and you could have some business rules or logic on the 'journey' that you decide where the data should go, then likely you should consider CPI.

However, if you have 10K sales orders per day that you need to process, for the purpose of reporting, data analysis, generating data insights. Such kind of processing normally won't happen directly in your transaction system. You likely need the data to be transformed, you need aggregation, calculation, etc, then DI could be a better choice.
