Neptune DXP as an SAP connector

With a long track record in integrating with SAP and continuous innovation over the years, Neptune Software has produced an industry-leading approach to connectivity.

Other platforms tend to only deliver remote RFC connections to SAP BAPIs and function modules or middleware style transformations of IDoc messages. But in today’s modern IT landscape, integrations need to go a step further to be highly decoupled without forcing your frontend to code SAP remotely. Instead, the ideal solution would be to automatically expose SAP artefacts as well as documented REST APIs that all frontend and backend developers are familiar with. This is no small feat considering the complexity and sheer scope and volume of SAP’s objects including your bespoke additions that add value to the core solution.

Thanks to Neptune DXP’s REST API generator you can convert your SAP ABAP classes into a REST API with minimal configuration. The introduction of the SAP API Factory takes SAP connectivity to further reducing the need for manual steps and exposing most of your ABAP artefacts as REST APIs,:

An added bonus is the automatic conversion of ABAP and ALV reports into ready to use Neptune DXP forms without having to write any code. Although Neptune DXP advocates a low code approach this is an example where no value is added in your developers having to manually convert SAP screens that do the job well into a Neptune DXP OpenUI5 Fiori style form.
