Salient Features of SAP HANA Cloud Integration
Automatic Upgrades
It upgrades to the higher version without even interrupting the message processing and the updates are released once a month. The customers and owners of HCI are notified of the upgrade when it is done.
Flexibility
It is a flexible platform for accomplishing integration. Also, one does not need to create BPM processes for handling cloud integrations that require getting tokens and updating multiple HTTP/SOAP Rest Calls. Employees having internet access can work from anywhere resulting in knowledgeable workers’ work-life balance and high productivity. Businesses can easily achieve cloud-to-cloud, cloud-to-on-premise integration.
Cost Savings
SAP HCI runs on a subscription basis; therefore, it reduces the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). The TCO of SAP HCI is less as compared to an on-premises solution because the hosting and maintenance charges are included in the subscription cost.
Reliable and Secure
Cloud computing services are much more reliable than the in-house infrastructure as you will not have to bear any loss dues to server failures. Hosted applications and services can easily be transmitted to other servers available. The on-demand solution provides the highest level of security features like content encryption, certificate-based authentication, etc.
Standard Content
SAP proficiently provides standard content that can be used to connect SAP, ERP, HCM, SRM, APO, and SAP Financial services with on-premises or on-demand solutions. It proffers pre-packaged integration content with mappings, API and adapter configuration, and connectivity.
Advanced Connectivity
Users can leverage out of the box connectivity feature of SAP HCI. The connected customer systems can exchange data based on the configured transport protocol. These protocols offer different options to safeguard the exchanged data against unauthorized access.
