Connect SAP and Snowflake

Connecting SAP and Snowflake for a company could enable the transfer of business data from SAP’s transactional systems into Snowflake’s cloud-based data platform. This could support advanced analytics, reporting, and data warehousing by making SAP data available in a centralized environment for further processing and analysis.

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

Why connect SAP and Snowflake?

A company that operates both SAP and Snowflake could benefit from connecting these systems to enable smoother data flows and more informed decision-making. Without such a connection, staff may need to manually enter the same data in both systems, which increases the risk of errors and consumes valuable time. Disconnected systems can also result in records that gradually diverge, making it harder to maintain a single source of truth. This can lead to business decisions being made on outdated or inconsistent information, which may impact performance and compliance. If SAP and Snowflake were connected, the types of data that could be exchanged would depend on the business processes involved, but may include transactional records, master data, financial figures, and analytics outputs. The specific data that can be transferred depends on the capabilities and access provided by each system’s API, and must be determined for each implementation.

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 Snowflake 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.
