Connect SAP ECC-R/3 and Marketo

Connecting SAP ECC-R/3 and Marketo for a company that uses both could enable the transfer of relevant business data between the ERP and marketing automation platforms. This could support more informed marketing activities by providing access to up-to-date customer, sales, or inventory information from SAP ECC-R/3 within Marketo.

You can build this integration on the System2System platform. We design the connection between SAP ECC-R/3 and Marketo around the way you work — not as an off-the-shelf connector, but to fit your systems.

Why connect SAP ECC-R/3 and Marketo?

A company operating both SAP ECC-R/3 and Marketo could benefit from having these systems exchange data, as this could streamline business processes and improve data accuracy across departments. Without such a connection, employees may need to manually enter the same information into both systems, increasing the risk of errors and consuming valuable time. Data in the two systems could diverge, leading to inconsistencies that affect reporting, customer communication, and operational decisions. For example, marketing teams using Marketo could act on outdated or incomplete customer or lead information if updates made in SAP ECC-R/3 are not reflected promptly. Conversely, sales or operations staff relying on SAP ECC-R/3 could miss out on recent marketing interactions or campaign responses tracked in Marketo, impacting their ability to follow up effectively or forecast demand. If a connection were established, the kinds of data that could be exchanged between SAP ECC-R/3 and Marketo would depend on business needs and technical capabilities. Commonly, companies might seek to share customer or account records, contact details, lead status updates, and campaign engagement data. The actual data that can be exchanged depends on what each system exposes through its API and must be determined for each specific situation.

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 ECC-R/3 and Marketo 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.
