Connect SAP and Databases

Connecting SAP and databases for a company could enable the automated transfer of business data between the ERP environment and structured data storage. This could support consolidated reporting, data analysis, and centralized data management, reducing manual data entry and the risk of inconsistencies across systems. Such integration could also improve data accuracy for operational processes.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between SAP and Databases around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect SAP and Databases?

A company operating both SAP and separate databases could benefit from enabling data exchange between these systems. Without such a connection, teams might find themselves entering the same information in both places, which increases the risk of errors and consumes unnecessary time. As records are updated in one system but not the other, inconsistencies could develop, resulting in situations where business decisions are based on outdated or mismatched data. This can undermine trust in reports and slow down operational processes. If a connection were established, it could allow for the transfer of core business data such as inventory levels, customer records, financial transactions, or order statuses, depending on the company’s operational needs and the database structure. This exchange could help ensure that both SAP and the databases reflect the most current and accurate information available, reducing manual work and supporting better decision-making. The specific types of data that could be exchanged would depend on what both SAP and the target databases allow through their respective APIs, and this would need to be determined for each particular case.

How System2System builds an integration

Connectors

We connect to each system through the interface it offers — an API, a database, a file exchange or a webhook — and handle authentication, rate limits and retries.

Mapping

Fields rarely line up one to one. We map and transform the data so both systems receive it in the shape they expect.

Workflow

We define what triggers an exchange, in which direction data flows and which system takes precedence when the two disagree.

Monitoring

Every exchange is logged. Failures are flagged and can be replayed, so nothing disappears without anyone noticing.

What can actually be exchanged?

That depends on what SAP and Databases make available through their APIs, on the licences and modules in use, and on the version each system runs. Which records are synchronised, in which direction and how often, is something we determine together before any work starts.

We are happy to look at your specific situation and tell you what is feasible — including when the answer is that it is not.
