SAP workflow integration
 
Overview

WorkflowGen Adapter for SAP allows you to quickly and easily integrate SAP transaction calls (import and export) into your processes and .Net Webforms.
The WorkflowGen BPM / Workflow software with .Net Web Forms and the Adapter for SAP offer you a lightweight and powerful Workflow front-end for SAP.

The WorkflowGen Adapter for SAP comes in two different modules:

  • A .Net Web Service to be used from WorkflowGen processes (import/export of SAP data via SAP transactions calls)
  • A .Net assembly to be used within Web Forms (to bind listbox, gridviews, etc. with any SAP data via SAP transaction calls) 

WorkflowGen Adapter for SAP simplifies SAP integration without adding a new midleware because it relies on standard SAP APIs.
Because WorkflowGen processes are fast to integrate and deploy you can offer powerful workflows to a maximum of users without worrying about SAP per user license model.
