Migration from SAP PO to SAP Integration Suite: The Next Generation of Integration

SAP Process Orchestration (PO) has long been a solid solution for on-premise integration needs. Today, however, expectations around flexibility, security, and scalability bring cloud-based architectures to the forefront. SAP Integration Suite (CPI) is positioned as a modern, secure, and scalable platform that helps organizations align with the integration standards of the future.

Migration Journey

SAP PO to CPI
  • Transition approach from On-Premise (SAP PO) to Cloud (SAP Integration Suite)
  • Secure transition: hardening at identity, certificate, encryption, and network layers
  • Operations & observability: ensuring monitoring/alerting mechanisms on the new platform

Why SAP CPI? Key Advantages

  • Cloud scalability: Automatically scales with load without infrastructure management.
  • Security: End-to-end encryption, token management, and certificate-based access via SAP BTP security layers (Keystore, OAuth, Security Material, etc.).
  • API Management integration: Centralized API management, versioning, and monitoring.
  • Reusability: Reuse of scripts, mappings, and adapter configurations across packages.
  • Ease of monitoring: Detailed tracking of message flows via MPL (Message Processing Log).
  • Automatic updates: No system maintenance like PO; updated regularly by SAP.

Edge Integration Cell

Enables processing data on-site while retaining cloud flexibility. A major advantage for industries with strict regulations—such as public sector and healthcare—where data privacy matters.

Licensing and Cost Benefits

  • Subscription: Fixed monthly package options such as Starter, Standard, and Premium.
  • Consumption (Pay-as-you-go): Flexible pricing based on the number of processed messages.
  • Eliminates hardware investments and maintenance, reducing the total cost of ownership.

Monitoring and Operational Management

Compared to PO, CPI provides deeper operational visibility:

  • MPL (Message Processing Log): Shows each step of a message’s processing.
  • Trace & Payload: Pinpoints exactly where an error occurred.
  • Integration Advisor: Smart recommendations for mapping designs.
  • Alert Notification: Automatic alerts triggered for specific conditions.

Conclusion

Moving from SAP PO to SAP CPI is not merely a platform change; it is the modernization of your integration architecture. In hybrid scenarios, CPI offers flexibility beyond PO by allowing on-premise systems and cloud services to be managed together. With Groovy-based development, Security Material management, Message Processing Log, and API Management integration, teams can build modern, scalable, and secure integrations more easily.
