You invested in SAP as the platform for your business. In order to get up and running and realize an ROI, you need to synchronize key business information with other systems and partners. But you have a long list of competing projects and a limited pool of resources. Sound familiar?
"The Cast Iron Integration Appliance enabled us to easily connect our SAP applications and free up resources to deliver ongoing value rather than focus on middleware."Steve Lucchesi Sr. IT Director, Intuitive Surgical
Cast Iron created an appliance-based solution designed specifically to simplify SAP data migration and integration. The Cast Iron Integration Appliance® for SAP can be used as a stand alone product or as a complement to existing SAP integration platforms. The appliance enables you to complete integration projects in just days and frees IT resources to focus on other aspects of the business.
Rather than implement complex middleware or write custom code, Cast Iron's Integration Appliance for SAP uses a "configuration, not coding" approach to integration projects. Many SAP implementations involve the need to rapidly migrate and integrate data such as product master, customer master, sales and order invoices with other ERP, CRM and custom-built applications. The appliance reduces the cost and complexity of these projects and allows you to implement them in days.
The Cast Iron Integration Appliance for SAP enables IT departments to be nimble and responsive to the needs of the business. This Integration Appliance has been specifically engineered for SAP and contains everything needed to complete data migration and integration projects in days.

The Cast Iron Integration Appliance simplifies SAP application integration in just four easy steps:
The Cast Iron Integration Appliance connects SAP applications to a wide variety of enterprise applications, databases, flat-files, and on-demand applications. Using a "configuration, not coding" approach for connecting applications not only enables rapid implementations, but also eliminates the need to touch the endpoints. The appliance provides a graphical UI to transform data between source and target applications, and provides automatic completeness checks. A workflow process can be defined using drag-and-drop logical functions. And, a single web-based console provides complete visibility to data flowing through the appliance and enables complete management of the integrations.
The Cast Iron Integration Appliance provides three components to configure, deploy and manage your application integration projects.
Cast Iron Studio (Studio) is at the heart of the easy-to-use design experience offered by Cast Iron's Integration Appliances. Studio provides a graphical environment for you to configure integration data flows called workflows or orchestrations. Studio allows you to create these workflows by dragging and dropping activities into a design window. Once designed, these workflows can be published to the appliance with a single click.
Combining ease-of-use with robust functionality, the purpose-built Run-time Appliance brings high performance and reliability to your integration solution. With easy scalability and complete security, the appliance is self-contained and has everything needed to complete your integrations.
The Web Management Console (WMC) is a simple-to-use environment where you deploy integration projects, and then securely monitor and manage these integrations. The Web Management Console also manages all deployment assets related to the integration for you. These assets could include the WSDL definition for a web service to invoke your integration or database scripts to send database events to the Cast Iron Integration Appliance.
