SAP PI/PO

SAP Process Orchestration (PO) is an application integration middleware software developed by SAP. SAP PI is a component of SAP PO, and also of the SAP Netweaver platform that allows integration between SAP and legacy applications or other external systems.

Following the introduction of SAP Process Integration (PI), currently the latest version of the application is Process Orchestration (PO).

SAP PO allows users to create synchronous and asynchronous communication for integrating SAP systems to other SAP or non-SAP systems. It enables establishing interfaces between heterogenous systems within an enterprise’s IT architecture and has a central function in integration and monitoring. Most importantly, it has a central function for an organization to establish, integrate and monitor interfaces between heterogeneous systems in IT architecture.
