This is where SAP Integration Suite comes in, a toolbox that can help you achieve every imaginable integration. The migration from PI/PO towards such a new set of tools, however, can be challenging. Find out how Flexso can help ease that journey with the ‘Flexso Integration Suite Migration Factory’.** The Flexso Integration Suite Migration Factory is an approach, based on four pillars, that helps customers running existing integration and middleware solutions to transform their integration architecture and migrate to the SAP Integration Suite. It is especially useful for when you are: - already running the **SAP Integration Suite** (aka “CPI”) for a specific line of business (SuccessFactors, Commerce…) and want to scale it to an enterprise middleware - running **SAP PI/PO** and considering migrating to the SAP Integration Suite - running **another middleware product** and have a lot of SAP requirements Ensure a smooth transition to SAP Integration SuiteSAP has announced that support for SAP PI/PO will sunset by 2027. Book your migration assessment to get started. [Ensure a smooth transition to SAP Integration Suite](https://www.flexso.com/en/contact) ## Optimize with SAP Integration Suite One good reason to choose an end-to-end enterprise cloud solution? Migrating to the cloud will help you reduce the footprint of your SAP systems and infrastructure and can save integration, infrastructure, and service broker costs. Everything starts with a technical assessment and discovering the possibilities for your current integration setup. Prefer watching? Stef and Maxime explain everything in the video!

Assessment** Assessment/Analysis of your business case, including impact, opportunities, risks, and the workload of migrating your existing integration landscape to the SAP Integration Suite: ![Migration Factory PIPO to SAP Integration Suite](data:image/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%27850%27%20height%3D%27%27%20style%3D%27background%3Atransparent%27%2F%3E)**2. Set-up** Set-up of the SAP Integration Suite by applying all SAP best practices and leveraging our [battle-tested accelerators and proven methodology](https://www.flexso.com/en/insights-blog/cloud-integration-get-started) to fast track your project. **3. Migration** Migration of your existing integration content from the legacy system to the new platform. Plus, by co-developing the integration flows together, we’ll make sure you can maintain and manage the platform on your own once the project is finished. Or if preferred, we also provide [application managed services (AMS)](https://flexso.ddev.site/en/solutions/sap-managed-services) to unburden your team and letting you focus on your core activities. **4. Scale** Product trainings, expert coaching, side-by-side execution of the migration activities, etc. to enhance adoption of the platform and efficiently scale your implementation. ## Ready to migrate from SAP PI/PO to SAP integration Suite?

[Book your assessment](https://www.flexso.com/en/contact) ## Start your journey from PI/PO to SAP Integration Suite If you are still running a legacy integration- and/or middleware solution and are unsure how and where to start your migration process to the integration suite, our initial assessment can help ease your concerns and give a better picture on what to expect. Our Flexso Integration Suite Migration Factory with the four-pillar-approach will guarantee all bases are covered, with an optimized integration landscape, improved business processes and maximum efficiency as a result. Still need convincing?

Waiting until the last moment only increases the risk of building up more technical debt in **SAP PI/PO**. The longer you postpone the move to **SAP Integration Suite**, the higher the migration workload. Modern integration needs, such as API management, event-driven integration or B2B/EDI scenarios, require capabilities that PI/PO simply cannot offer. And if an S/4HANA Cloud transformation is on your roadmap, it’s best to migrate first to reduce the risks during your S/4 journey. ## Can I just lift-and-shift all my existing SAP PI/PO flows? Not everything is a one-click migration. While a large portion of integrations can be migrated automatically, some flows require semi-automatic or manual adjustments. That’s why a **Migration Assessment** is an essential first step: it gives you a clear picture of what can be lifted easily and where fine-tuning is needed. ## I’m only planning my move to S/4HANA by 2030. Why would I already switch to SAP Integration Suite? On paper, you can wait. In practice, delaying puts extra pressure on your S/4 transformation. A successful S/4 migration relies on a modern, agile integration layer. Tackling your move from **SAP PI/PO** to the **SAP Integration Suite** beforehand ensures smoother execution, less complexity and fewer risks when your S/4 project finally takes off. ## We are still on SAP ECC and our integration landscape is simple. Do we really need SAP Integration Suite? Even simple landscapes are evolving rapidly. With more cloud applications and external partners in the mix, complexity grows faster than you think. To scale and remain flexible, you need a robust integration platform. The **SAP Integration Suite** enables you to integrate internal and external systems seamlessly, whether through acquisitions, new business models or a future S/4 migration. It also helps you keep your core clean, a crucial principle when moving to S/4. ## Our internal team knows SAP PI/PO very well. Do they all need to be retrained for SAP Integration Suite? The good news: the **SAP Integration Suite** is more intuitive and user-friendly than **SAP PI/PO**. Your team won’t be starting from scratch. We provide tailored training and coaching to accelerate the learning curve. What’s more, we often involve client teams directly in the migration project so they gain hands-on experience, turning the project itself into a learning journey. ## Powered by Flexso Digital: experts that transform ideas into innovation Smart integration, custom extensions, apps that provide extra automation… we do it all!
