Integrating information

Success with SAP R/3 depends on an ability to integrate and share information with other systems. In a typical corporate setting, a single SAP R/3 system needs to integrate with a wide range of applications. These include legacy systems, applications provided by a third-party, and other SAP systems within the enterprise.

SAP R/3 data synchronization between applications is critical, requiring the transfer of transactions and master data. Events occurring in one location, such as the receipt of a customer order, may trigger actions at other locations, such as the generation of a production order or the updating of inventory. To achieve a distributed, fully integrated SAP R/3 environment, the hardware and software infrastructure must be in place to support the flow of this vital information seamlessly between systems.
