I now know of about six consultancies that have built their own PI/PO migration tools. Partly because it’s fun, but mostly because it saves them time: they can deliver migration projects faster.
That’s exactly what Figaf Migration Edition does, and it works for customers and partners alike. You don’t need to build anything yourself.
It’s also easy to find out whether it does a better job on your migrations. Migration starts at €100 per ICO, so if it saves you just one hour per migration, it has paid for itself.
So, do you have your own tool, or would you like to see what Figaf Migration Edition can do?

CPI Helper 4.0 is here
CPI Helper, the free open-source browser extension many of us use every day in SAP Cloud Integration, has just released version 4.0. It’s the biggest update in a long time, and Figaf is proud to have sponsored it.
What’s new:
- A floating toolbar. It replaces the header buttons that had a habit of disappearing and reappearing. You can drag it wherever you like, switch between wide and compact, and use it on other CPI pages, not just inside an iFlow.
- Tenant-wide search (Ctrl/⌘ + K). Find any iFlow, API, mapping or package, plus the monitor pages. On an iFlow you can also run actions such as trace, deploy and logs from the search.
- Inline trace in the diagram, and a new payload viewer.
A big thank you to Kangoolutions GmbH and all the contributors who made this release possible.
SAPinsider Copenhagen, 16 to 19 November 2026: Will you be there?
In less than two weeks the SAP community meets in Copenhagen for SAPinsider 2026, held at the Tivoli Hotel & Congress Center. Over four days there are more than 100 sessions and labs across eight tracks, from S/4HANA and AI to security and finance.
For integration people, the most relevant track is Platform, Integration, and Operations. There are also sessions on migration planning and release governance, both topics in this newsletter.
I plan to drop by, and I’d be happy to grab a coffee and talk about your PI/PO migration, your transport process, or anything else on your integration roadmap.
Will you be in Copenhagen? Send me a message and let’s find a time.

Too many manual steps in your transport process?
Moving an integration from development to production often takes more manual work than the change itself:
- Configuring externalized parameters
- Reviewing code
- Waiting for someone to do the deployment
- Maintaining Pipeline Partner Directory entries
- Transporting B2B content
Each step involves developers, Basis or other people, and every handover slows things down.
Figaf automates or simplifies these steps, so your transports move faster. You also get better governance along the way: a full change log of what was transported, when and by whom, which is exactly what your compliance team wants.
With SAP specialists this expensive (see the salary guide below), their time shouldn’t go on manual transport work.

Eursap’s European SAP Salary and Rate Guide 2026/2027
In a recent LinkedIn post, Daniel Patel of Eursap shared the firm’s new European SAP Salary and Rate Guide. It’s a free 46-page report covering 21 European countries, and you don’t have to fill in a form to get it.
Permanent salary midpoints range from €47.5k in Romania to €155k in Switzerland, and each country is broken down by SAP skill area, from FI/CO to BTP. Contractor day rates run from €475 to €1,225, and the guide shows how much more a contractor really costs than a permanent hire once employer costs are counted. It also covers take-home pay after tax and cost of living, and hiring times, which range from about 8 weeks in the Nordics and Spain to 15 weeks in Germany and Switzerland.
Daniel Patel recommends that hiring managers read their own country’s page and page 18 before their next salary review or contractor rate card.
