Integration Certification Options for SAP Business Suite Powered by SAP HANA

SAP provides a number of pre-defined integration scenarios for partners to integrate to SAP Business Suite. All scenarios listed in the table below are enabled and certification is offered specifically for integrations with SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA. If you already have a certified solution with SAP, then there are the following options, depending on the scenario:

• A re-certification of the integration with SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA will be required, if the scenario is SAP-release specific, or if the interface offers SAP HANA-specific enhancements.

• A re-certification of the integration with SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA will be optional, but advised, if the interface remains technically unchanged.

Generally, SAP always recommends certifying an integration with SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA separately. This confirms your alignment with SAP strategy and proofs to your customers, that your solution is tested with SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA, and can leverage the capabilities of SAP HANA.
