IMPLEMENTING INTERFACES USING SAP AIF

very SAP implementation has a significant amount of data conversions and interfaces with various other systems. Finding the right technology architecture for integration is

one part of the equation. The other part is defining the end-to-end business process and it’s corresponding data model. This has proven to be a real challenge because it requires people from different disciplines and organizations to deliver one end-to-end solution. First of all, it requires the combined knowledge of multiple integration technologies, business processes and data models. Additionally, it is required to go beyond the system and focus on bringing people together around the end-to-end integration solution. By providing a technology framework, SAP AIF makes it easier to focus on the end-to-end business process.
