Work inside the SAP system you already run
We would treat SAP integration and reporting as a change inside the system you already run, not a rebuild. Traittek's confirmed experience is in SAP PI, BI, CRM, TSW, technical development and enterprise application integration (EAI).

What it solves
The situations this is for
Data stops at the SAP boundary
SAP holds the record. The warehouse, the portal and the finance tool each need a copy of it. Every new connection gets negotiated from scratch, and nobody owns the map of what talks to what.
Reports only IT can produce
The numbers sit in the transactional system. Getting them into a usable form takes a request, a queue and a spreadsheet at the end. Operations waits on IT for a figure it needs again next month.
A process standard SAP does not cover
The business does something the standard configuration does not cover. The gap gets filled with manual steps, offline files, or a workaround somebody built and then left.
One person knows how it works
A single person understands the interface or the custom code, and that person may not even be an employee. Every change waits until they are free.
Scope
What the scope can include
Enterprise system integration
- SAP PI (Process Integration) interfaces
- Interfaces between SAP and non-SAP systems
- Enterprise application integration (EAI)
- Documenting interfaces that already run
Reporting and business intelligence
- SAP BI reporting
- Turning transactional data into readable reports
- Report definitions written with the people who read them
Development and functional areas
- SAP technical development
- SAP CRM (customer relationship management)
- SAP TSW (Trader's and Scheduler's Workbench)
- Custom enterprise solutions where SAP has no standard function
Scenarios
What this could look like
A figure rebuilt by hand each month
A scenario this covers: someone exports from SAP and rebuilds the same report in a spreadsheet each month. Scope would start with finding where those numbers come from, then building the report so the team can open it themselves.
A new system that needs SAP data
For example, a business buys or builds an application that needs master or transactional data held in SAP. Scope would cover what the interface carries, how often it runs, and what happens when it fails.
An interface nobody owns
A scenario this covers: an interface or enhancement still runs, with no documentation and nobody accountable for it. Scope can include reading what is there and writing it down before any change is proposed.
Method
How we would work
A starting point for the first conversation, not a fixed methodology.
- 01
Read the system first
We would start with what runs today: the interfaces in place, the reports in use, and the manual steps around them. We would scope that reading as its own piece of work, separate from anything built afterward.
- 02
Write the gap in plain terms
The output should be a short description of what the system does not do and what closing that gap involves. The people who own the process should be able to read it, not only the SAP team.
- 03
Change one thing first
Where the requirement allows, we would propose one interface, one report or one enhancement, not a multi-system rollout. That gives both sides something concrete to judge before the scope widens.
- 04
Hand it back documented
Anything built should come with documentation and a handover to your team. We can discuss staying involved after that. You should also be able to end the arrangement without the system breaking.
Fit
Is this the right fit?
A good fit if
- You run SAP, and another system needs data that SAP holds.
- Someone rebuilds the same report from SAP by hand every month.
- An interface or custom code still runs, but nobody can explain it.
- You want one change made and documented, not a rebuild.
Not the right fit
A full SAP implementation, upgrade or S/4HANA conversion
Work that size belongs with a firm that implements SAP as its main business. Traittek holds no SAP partnership, reseller status or certification. Choose that firm first, and bring us in around it only if integration or reporting work genuinely helps.
SAP products outside the list on this page
SuccessFactors, Ariba, Concur and the rest of the SAP catalog are outside Traittek's experience. We would rather turn the work down than learn a module at your expense. Look for a firm with direct experience in that product.
SAP licensing or Basis administration
Licensing, Basis administration and keeping the SAP system patched and running belong with a licensing reseller or a Basis managed service. Our cloud and managed IT pages cover the environment underneath a system, not the SAP layer itself.
Questions
Questions about SAP & enterprise systems
Do we need a full SAP implementation, or a smaller change?
It depends on the gap. Work like this is usually a change inside a system that already runs, such as one interface, one report or one enhancement. We would read what runs today before proposing any change. A full implementation, upgrade or S/4HANA conversion belongs with a firm that implements SAP as its main business.
Can SAP be connected to a non-SAP system?
Yes. An interface moves agreed data between SAP and another system, on a schedule or when a record changes. Scope would first settle what it carries, how often it runs, and what happens when it fails. SAP PI integration and EAI are both in Traittek's confirmed experience.
Are you an SAP partner?
No. Traittek holds no SAP partnership, reseller status or certification. It is a software development company in Edmond, Oklahoma, near Oklahoma City, with confirmed SAP experience in PI, BI, CRM, TSW, technical development and EAI. If your project requires partner status, start with an SAP partner.
Can you document an interface nobody owns?
Yes, and that can be a piece of work on its own. Scope would cover reading the interface or custom code as it runs today, then writing down what it does and what depends on it. Nothing would be proposed for change until that reading is done.
How do we get reports out of SAP without waiting on IT?
Scope can include SAP BI reporting that turns transactional data into reports your team can open themselves. We would write the report definitions with the people who read them. The first step would be finding where those numbers come from today.
How much does SAP integration and reporting work cost?
It depends on the scope: how many systems an interface touches, what it carries, and how much has to be read and documented first. We do not publish prices. We would scope the first reading of the system as its own piece of work, so you can judge it before committing to anything larger.
