Questions
What did the state government implement?
It implemented an integration architecture on SAP Process Orchestration and SAP NetWeaver. The team built 40+ interfaces connecting SAP ECC, SAP SuccessFactors, a COBOL mainframe and departmental systems, supporting both real-time and batch exchange.
Which integration methods were used?
The interfaces used IDoc, RFC and SOAP scenarios. They ran under a standardized integration framework with common patterns and governance, so new departmental connections follow the same secure and scalable approach.
How large was the project?
A five-member partner team worked for 12 months. The scope covered architecture and technical design, interface development, testing, deployment and production stabilization across about 25+ department processes.
