- Extended application scope for Metastorm BPM
Architecture diagram:
Functionality:
- Request data from SAP out of Metastorm BPM (read)
- Create documents in SAP out of Metastorm BPM (create)
- Change documents in SAP out of Metastorm BPM (change)
- Receive data out of SAP in Metastorm BPM
- Initiate Metastorm BPM actions out of SAP
- Create XML documents out of Metastorm BPM
- Format the XML documents with Metastorm BPM forms
- Receive SAP error messages in Metastorm BPM
- SAP BAPI’s, rfcFM’s and IDOC’s can be called directly out of Metastorm BPM
- Integration calls in the Metastorm BPM designer with the Integration Wizard
The benefits of using Metastorm BPM together with SAP are:
- The standard SAP integration makes Metastorm BPM more efficient
- Some processes can be implemented in Metastorm BPM instead of in SAP now,
as all SAP functions can be accessed easily from Metastorm BPM
-> Implementation time for processes is much shorter
-> Adjustments are much easier to complete
-> Simpler user interface (Web browser vs. SAP GUI)
-> Less user training required
-> Cheaper software licenses (Metastorm BPM vs. SAP) - Enlarged application scope for Metastorm BPM
- Metastorm BPM can be used as complementary software to SAP
- Metastorm BPM becomes more competitive because of an existing and well tested SAP integration
- Lowest maintenance expenses for SAP interfaces
- Interfaces are extremely flexible and transparent
- Interfaces are pre configured and can be reused
Advantages of EPO XML Connector for MBPM / SAP integration vs. Individual Interface Programming
- Comprehensive solution for all SAP modules
- Robust Integrations can be rapidly implemented
- 100% Guaranteed message delivery
- No programming necessary
- Easy maintenance and support
- New implementations, adjustments and error analysis can be conducted by customer staff
- Simple call of the SAP interfaces in the Metastorm BPM Designer
- Reusability of implemented interfaces in all Metastorm BPM Processes
- Many functions (BAPI´s, IDOC) are ready configured and can be used out-of-the-box. All other functions can be implemented by copying a template. No programming! Main functions (error handling, logging) remain the same.
- Encoding is fully supported
The EPO XML Connector for MBPM / SAP integration is as flexible as the BPM system itself. It simply makes using Metastorm BPM more efficient and broadens the application scope extremely. Request a presentation now and decide for yourself.
