SAP PI or BizTalk ?

680 Views

I am evaluating the internal and external integration scenarios for a large company to help them when they should use SAP PI and when to use BizTalk. In this sense, i have made some comparison and would like to share them with you. Any other comments/additions will be appreciated.

Especially SAP upgrade roadmap (especially NetWeaver) and the vendor product strategy is really important for me. What do you think about it?

Purpose: Create a common understanding of the capabilities of each integration platform

More resources with BizTalk skills

u2013More resources in total and more certified resources for BizTalk

u2013Low availability of resources for both platforms

Community

u2013More sources of information and resources for BizTalk

u2013In practice one source of training and certification for PI (sdn)

Technical platform permeates the development environment

u2013J2EE or Microsoft

Dependency on application in the case of PI

u2013PI used to integrate applications within SAP system

u2013PI used as service repository (from 7.0) for all applications

Integrated management solution for PI

BAM support in BizTalk
