SAP is a key component of the IT infrastructure in companies across all industries. To keep pace with the competition, companies must seamlessly integrate their SAP systems into automated business processes. This is a challenge because the integration must be flexible enough to adapt to new requirements. Furthermore, it must establish a seamless connection between SAP and other systems, such as customer-specific systems, legacy systems, e-commerce platforms, and other applications. This is only possible through fast and seamless integration with third-party systems.
Our solution: Seamlessly and securely integrate SAP into your business processes via the X4 interface.
Our solution enables the seamless integration of SAP systems into enterprise-wide processes, regardless of industry. We effortlessly connect SAP systems with other systems—including non-SAP systems—without any data silos. X4 BPMS serves as the central interface, seamlessly integrating data from online stores, service providers, suppliers, and other business processes into SAP systems.
With its collection of SAP integration APIs, X4 BPMS enables seamless, real-time data exchange between SAP and other systems. Transaction security is always guaranteed. Our adapters are based on SAP’s standardized JCo API and also support the latest SAP technologies, such as:
- SAP API Hub / Accelerator Hub
- SAP Event Mesh
- SAP OData V2 / V4 API
These provide access to all data and SAP-internal business processes.
For older SAP legacy systems, proven technologies such as Remote Function Calls (RFCs) or Business APIs (BAPIs) can be used for various business objects. Furthermore, the bidirectional exchange of IDocs (Intermediate Documents) via ALE (Application Link Enabling) is possible between both SAP systems and third-party systems.
Architecture of the SAP Interface
The solution’s architecture is based on an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB). The ESB is a central platform that facilitates data exchange between SAP systems and third-party systems. The collection of SAP integration adapters is an add-on for the ESB that enables communication with SAP systems via their interfaces.

The solution supports all common SAP systems, including SAP ERP, SAP S/4HANA, SAP Business Suite, and SAP BusinessObjects.
