Integration between SAP^® and Cloud Services

---

Many organizations have realized that moving from traditional in-house server based applications to cloud based solutions not only can save significant cost but also can provide the kind of on-the-go application access we all have come to expect. Application providers are responding by developing new cloud-based solutions for CRM, SCM, and many other areas that take full advantage of this trend But once the initial excitement over the cloud-based offering has settled it typically becomes clear that cloud-based integration brings challenges beyond those faced by the in-house server based approach. Data doesn't move as quickly and with the same bandwidth between the cloud and the in-house infrastructure. Simply refreshing all data with a few SQL Statements is no longer an option. AdapLink Objects^TM for SAP^® solve this problem because AdapLink Objects^TM are delta-capable. Once the cloud-based solution has gone through its initial full load only changes have to be exchanged. AdapLink Objects^TM for SAP^® tracks the changes and can thereby ensure that only the relevant changes are sent to the cloud application. This delta-approach makes it easy to keep the in-house SAP^® system synchronized with the cloud-based system in a near real-time fashion while still maintaining a very light integration load on the SAP^® system.
