We had a great turnout and participation at our December Launch event. We showcased the improved SAP Process Integration/Process Orchestration management feature of the Figaf DevOps Suite. Here is a brief overview of what was discussed at our Launch Event (15th December). Also, you can re-watch our Launch Event below.
This new release includes some of the biggest improvements to the Figaf DevOps Suite which includes the SAP PI/PO management feature. The new release required over 1500 hours of development time to simplify operations for your next process integration. Also, a major client is already enjoying better business outcomes with the use of our PI/PO management feature.
This major client automated their configuration of channels during transport. Moreover, their governance was simplified by removing the need of Excel/Word documents.
Why it made sense to keep using SAP Process Integration
SAP Cloud Integration is a great platform for handling integrations, and we have a product that automates the migration. At the time of the event, the platform still had limitations in governance, separation of configuration and deployment, and monitoring, so for organizations with 500+ integrations it was not yet the ideal platform.

What areas these improvements impact the most?
Governance
Previously, most governance entailed sending word/excel documents back and forth as a form of documentation when changes have been made. With our products at Figaf, we have automated different aspects of governance including the configuration of channels during transports.
Moreover, all changes create an audit trail and everything is connected to a change. It is also possible to have your change management through an integration with Jira or ServiceNow. Testing of integrations is possible during delivery and overall all changes are transparent.
Transports
Handling transports with CTS+ is perfectly good and you can integrate well with the rest of the SAP landscape however it can be difficult to find any changes to objects. Furthermore, it’s possible to compare different versions of objects in your transport. However, you still have to manually document the changes in the transport. Plus, after any import you will have a manual task with configurations.
Development
We have simplified and accelerated the development process which will lower your costs across the board including deployment costs. Moreover, you will notice operational improvements as you will see no difference in your system and the Excel files for your transports. Moreover, when you use the SAP PI/PO management feature, you will quickly operate and configure the integration plus you remove a lot of the manual steps in your development.
The greatest impact with our improved SAP PI/PO management feature will be your mood as with better governance, transport and development you will be a happier SAP professional.
