Connect SAP and Microsoft SQL Server

Connecting SAP and Microsoft SQL Server for a company that uses both could enable the transfer of business data between the two platforms. This might support reporting, analytics, or data consolidation efforts by allowing information managed in SAP to be accessed or processed within SQL Server environments according to business needs.

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

Why connect SAP and Microsoft SQL Server?

A company operating both SAP and Microsoft SQL Server could benefit from connecting these systems to enable more efficient data exchange. Without such a connection, employees may need to enter the same data separately into each system, which increases the risk of errors and consumes additional time. This lack of integration can also result in records diverging between systems, leading to inconsistencies that may cause confusion or incorrect decision-making. Furthermore, when data is not automatically updated between SAP and Microsoft SQL Server, managers and staff might base decisions on outdated or incomplete information, which could negatively impact business performance. If a connection were established between SAP and Microsoft SQL Server, it could allow for the transfer of various types of data, depending on what each system is designed to handle and what the business requires. Common data exchanged between systems of these kinds can include financial transactions, customer and supplier records, inventory levels, and sales orders. By automating the flow of such information, a company could reduce manual workload and improve the accuracy and timeliness of its records. However, the specific data that can be exchanged depends on what each system exposes through its API and must be determined on a case-by-case basis.

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 Microsoft SQL Server 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.
