With 96% of SAP enterprise customers needing help with SAP to non-SAP integrations1, most organizations are missing out on seizing SAP data as part of their ERP modernization strategy. By leaving SAP out of the picture, this creates a significant gap in your overall data strategy let alone not getting the most out of your SAP investment.
This poses a major problem for enterprises, as not having valuable SAP data readily available stalls AI automation, agent development, and ultimately agentic transformation. Being locked out of this data goldmine means organizations only have a fraction of the data crucial to fueling AI efforts. Notably, SAP related workflow automations and agents would have limited effectiveness as a result.
Reliably getting data out of SAP has been an ongoing battle for organizations due to limited access to ABAP developers, data egress constraints, and no standardization when it comes to industry tooling. This is why we’ve built the Boomi for SAP Data Connector — an enterprise-ready solution that’s SAP-certified, cost-effective, and uses proven, trusted technology.
SAP-Certified for Complete Access to SAP Data
SAP’s proprietary programming language is Advanced Business Application Program (ABAP). With ABAP developers being few and far between, they’re often expensive resources. Hiring a team of ABAP experts to develop a custom data extraction framework is too complex and resource intensive for most organizations; the scope exponentially increases as you factor in the diversity of SAP objects beyond tables alongside the number of downstream destinations. However, with the Boomi for SAP Data Connector, you can focus on what matters most to your organization and free up resources to innovate. We’ve already done the heavy lifting for you. Boomi for SAP allows complete data access to SAP by being able to extract tables, function modules, BW extractors, and more. Our unique solution is SAP-certified, providing native access to your SAP environment’s application layer.
Works Natively at the Application Layer to Avoid Surprise Overages
Another issue common when extracting SAP data is data egress constraints. Some organizations choose the database layer approach to data extraction because of better perceived performance; however, the caveat is encountering vendor licensing restrictions leading to cost overruns as well as missing out on valuable business logic metadata housed in the application layer. The Boomi for SAP Data Connector operates at the application layer mitigating licensing restrictions and potential cost overages faced with the database layer approach; thereby, lowering the total cost of ownership (TCO) for a SAP data extraction solution. Like the Boomi Enterprise Platform, pricing is transparent and predictable, making it easy for you to manage your budget.
High Performance SAP CDC for Scalable Data Pipelines
When it comes to industry standards for SAP data movement, there aren’t any because every organization has a unique SAP set-up. Moving SAP data requires a strong understanding of your organization’s technical implementation as well as business processes. Therefore, SAP data movement solutions are typically customized to fit an organization’s needs. Since Boomi for SAP allows for complete data access, the Boomi for SAP Data Connector can act as the foundation for your data movement needs. The managed connector offers enterprise-ready features such as Change Data Capture (CDC), deduplication, audit trails, and more. Above all, being SAP-certified means you can rest assured your data pipelines are reliable and scalable at high volumes with low latency, making your SAP data work for you.
Why Use Boomi for SAP for Your SAP CDC Needs
Instead of risking further vendor lock-in and patchy point solutions, Boomi for SAP can help effortlessly move your SAP data to your data lakehouse in a way that just works. The Boomi for SAP Data Connector is SAP-certified for complete SAP data access, works natively at the application layer, and has robust data movement capabilities using SAP CDC. Don’t miss out on your SAP data goldmine for AI and analytics initiatives when you can use the Boomi for SAP Data Connector to connect SAP to everything.
