Introducing the Alumio Route Builder
Now connect, orchestrate, and govern integrations at scale from one visual interface
SAP Cloud Platform Integration (now SAP Integration Suite) is purpose-built for connecting SAP applications with SAP-recommended patterns. Alumio is ERP-agnostic by design: it decouples your systems so SAP can run alongside Dynamics, AFAS, Exact, commerce, and finance, and so changing one never cascades into the rest.
A side-by-side look at how each platform compares on operating model, delivery, and pricing.
| Alumio | SAP CPI | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Organizations that need governed integration without an enterprise delivery model. | SAP-centric organizations connecting SAP applications (S/4HANA, ECC, SuccessFactors, Ariba) and extending them with non-SAP systems. |
| Time to market | Few weeks for scoped projects. Config-first, partner-delivered. | Fast for SAP-to-SAP integration with prebuilt content. Longer for complex non-SAP scenarios requiring custom iFlow development. |
| Implementation team | Certified partners or in-house IT. No specialist hires required. | SAP-certified developers and consultants. Often delivered by large SI partners (Accenture, Deloitte, Capgemini). |
| Delivery model | Partner-led, with mandatory Solutions Engineering on every Core deal. | SAP Professional Services or large global SI partners with SAP practice depth. |
| Pricing model | Per integration capacity. No transaction fees, no volume penalties. | Consumption-based on SAP BTP (per message, per service) with separate licenses for API Management, Open Connectors, Integration Advisor, and Event Mesh. |
Six things that shape the operational fit for upper mid-market and lower enterprise buyers.
Keep ERP, commerce, and finance aligned through change. Audit trails, isolated environments, governed releases - built in.

Certified system integrators and digital agencies, with mandatory Alumio Solutions Engineering on every Core implementation.
Configure first, code only where it matters. Production integrations without specialist developer hires.
Priced per integration capacity. No transaction fees, no volume penalties, no expansion surprises.

The integration and governance layer that makes AI tools useful in real operations - independent of which AI you adopt.
Both platforms can deliver business-critical integration. The honest question is which operating model fits the organisation.
SAP CPI is the right call when...
You're a SAP-centric organization with S/4HANA, ECC, or other SAP products as the operational backbone, and most integration is SAP-to-SAP or SAP-extending.
You have SAP-certified developers and SI partners on staff or in your delivery network, and prefer a vendor-aligned integration platform.
ALUMIO IS THE RIGHT CALL WHEN...
You're running a multi-ERP or non-SAP landscape (Dynamics, AFAS, Exact, Business Central, or SAP alongside others) connecting to commerce, PIM, CRM, WMS, and finance.
You want vendor-agnostic operational integration with predictable per-integration pricing, no module add-ons, and certified partners that span ERP ecosystems.
