Questions
How was SAP ECC connected to the CRM platform?
The team designed an integration architecture on SAP Integration Suite and built more than 50 interfaces using REST APIs and IDocs. This enabled real-time synchronization of customer and order data between SAP ECC and the CRM platform.
What did license key automation change?
License key generation and distribution, previously manual, was automated for enterprise security systems. The company now automates 90% of license key processing, which reduces manual effort and speeds up fulfillment for customers.
How is integration reliability maintained?
The program established a monitoring, logging and error-handling framework, plus reusable integration components and governance standards. Together they improve reliability and system performance and give future interfaces a consistent pattern to follow.
