Strategic goals

Centralized IT & data integration for digital, scalable test equipment management

The challenge

To further develop the PRIMAS online test equipment management portal, Testo needed a powerful and future-proof IT and data integration platform. The goal was to flexibly integrate a wide range of heterogeneous back-end systems—including SAP R/3 and, in the future, SAP S/4HANA—and provide customers with a fully digital, high-performance self-service solution. At the same time, Testo had high requirements for scalability, maintainability, and technological openness in order to efficiently implement future changes in the IT landscape.

The solution

With X4 BPMS, Testo implemented a central integration and orchestration platform that serves as a technological data hub between the PRIMAS customer portal and the connected line-of-business and back-end systems.

Using standardized services, data models, and processes, X4 separates the front end from the connected systems, enabling changes to be made in the back end without affecting the portal or business processes.

SAP R/3, and eventually SAP S/4HANA, as well as a SharePoint-based DMS, were seamlessly integrated via X4 adapters. X4 also handles monitoring, control, and oversight of the entire system landscape, ensuring high-availability operations.
