PI/PO migration, AI and the future of SAP integration

This week, we are, among other things, looking at how to turn the 2027 PI/PO deadline into a modernization opportunity rather than a compliance exercise.

Week 25 · June 19, 2026 · 3 min read

With the 2027 PI/PO deadline approaching, it’s tempting to treat this migration as just another compliance checkbox. But there is a real upside to getting it right. A well-executed migration gives you:

  • Fewer legacy dependencies
  • Landscape visibility
  • Less technical debt
  • Access to innovation

The migration shouldn’t just be about avoiding an unsupported version. It should be about making your integration processes cleaner, faster, and easier to manage long-term.

At Figaf, we help SAP teams do exactly that: assess, migrate, test, and transport without the project turning into a multi-year effort.

Try out our free migration tool and experience how you can turn a compliance deadline into a genuine modernisation win.

Governance of SAP integration is not just for fun

There is nothing great about having chosen (the cheapest) migration path to SAP Integration Suite if all you receive is a mess that may work.

It is important to understand how your governance should work from the start. It is not just a nice feature.

Here’s what to get right before the technical debt starts piling up.

Can you use AI to analyze if the iFlows follow your security setups?

SAP BTP and Integration Architect Vadim Klimov has been experimenting with the possibilities of GenAI in SAP Cloud Integration.

In this LinkedIn post, he shares how an AI-powered assistant can search and analyse integration artifacts using natural language, validate integrations against best practices, and scale across complex integration landscapes using RAG-based architectures.

What is your preferred approach for building mappings in new integrations?

How are you building mappings in new integrations? Vote in our LinkedIn poll and share your experience in the comments.

Many integration teams have traditionally relied on graphical mapping tools, but with the rise of LLMs, creating mappings in Groovy or XSLT has become faster and more accessible than ever.

  • Are you seeing a shift in the way mappings are built?
  • And are you already using AI to generate mappings?

We’d love to hear about your experience. Cast your vote in our LinkedIn Poll and share your thoughts in the comments.

We have been exploring how you can analyze your SAP PI landscape and prepare better reports

Estimating migration effort is never straightforward. It depends on factors such as team experience, previously migrated objects, and one-time configuration tasks that traditional assessments often overlook.

Check out this LinkedIn post and see how the free Figaf Migration Edition can help you better understand your migration effort.

By the way, the newest version also works if you only have a SAP assessment report.

Thanks for reading The Figaf Weekly. If you have questions, feedback, or topics you’d like us to cover in future editions, we’d love to hear from you. See you next week.
