The cloud-based integration platform from SAP, launched in 2013. Formally known as HCI (SAP HANA Cloud Integration). This gave rise to a choice for the customer of an on-premise or cloud-based integration service. Offered free with the purchase of SuccessFactors.

CPI is not a replacement for PO. It is a completely new integration product which allows an organisation to integrate SAP cloud applications with its on-premise systems. Newer versions of SAP PO are integrated with CPI so you can harmonise on-premise and cloud integrations with ease.

Founded on an Apache Camel framework you can now connect your ERP system with other SAP, and non-SAP, cloud and on-premise apps. Integrate processes and data in application-to-application (A2A) and business-to-business (B2B) scenarios. The service allows real-time data exchange between systems and delivers a comprehensive set of tools that allow you to develop, deploy, package, publish and edit integration content.
