When does support for SAP PI/PO end?
Mainstream maintenance for SAP PI/PO 7.5 ends on 31 December 2027, in line with SAP NetWeaver 7.5. Extended maintenance to the end of 2030 is optional and comes at a premium fee. Older releases are already out of maintenance.
When does support for BizTalk Server end?
BizTalk Server 2016 reaches the end of extended support on 11 January 2027. BizTalk Server 2020 is the final release: Microsoft expects sales to end on 31 March 2027, and mainstream support ends in April 2028. After that, Microsoft plans optional, paid support to April 2030 as temporary migration cover, expected to exclude some capabilities. Older versions are already out of support.
Should BizTalk move to Azure or SAP Integration Suite?
If your business runs on SAP, we recommend SAP Integration Suite. It connects natively to S/4HANA and ECC through IDoc, RFC and OData, it is SAP’s strategic integration platform, and it puts your BizTalk and SAP PO interfaces on one platform. Azure Integration Services is the better choice when few of your BizTalk interfaces touch SAP: Microsoft names Azure Logic Apps as BizTalk’s successor, and Logic Apps can reuse compatible XSLT maps and schemas. The assessment shows the split interface by interface.
What is the free migration snapshot?
A short written review based on an export you send us: your PO interface list or SAP Migration Assessment report, or your BizTalk application list or bindings. You get interface counts by likely category, the top risks we see and a rough effort range, plus a 30-minute call to walk through it. There’s no cost, no obligation and no access to your systems needed.
Can I check my SAP PO landscape myself?
Yes. Our free SAP PO readiness scanner reads your Integration Directory export, and your ESR export if you add it, in your browser. In seconds it sorts every integrated configuration into ready to migrate, adjustment required or evaluation required, and shows the main risks and a rough effort range. Nothing is uploaded and no SAP tenant is needed. Send us the result and we’ll turn it into your written snapshot.
Can I check my BizTalk landscape myself?
Yes, if you’re moving to SAP Integration Suite. Our free BizTalk readiness scanner reads a bindings export in your browser and shows your interface count, an iFlow estimate, the main risks and a rough effort range in seconds. Nothing is uploaded. Send us the result and we’ll turn it into your written snapshot.
Can’t we just use the vendors’ migration tools?
For standard scenarios, yes, and we recommend them: SAP’s migration tool for PO, and Microsoft’s Logic Apps Migration Agent (in preview) if BizTalk is moving to Azure. No vendor tool converts BizTalk to SAP Integration Suite, so for that move we use our own scanner, assessment and conversion tooling. SAP’s tool converts many interfaces, including some with Java mappings, but custom adapter modules and BPM processes aren’t migrated and must be redesigned. In BizTalk, complex orchestrations, custom pipeline components and EDI setups need the same specialist work. Those usually carry the most business risk, and the assessment tells you exactly how much of your landscape falls into each group.
Do we have to move everything to the cloud?
No. SAP Integration Suite’s Edge Integration Cell lets you design in the cloud and run integrations inside your own environment, which suits ground-to-ground scenarios and strict data residency needs. The same applies to interfaces moving off BizTalk, and if you choose Azure, Logic Apps’ hybrid deployment model does the same on your own servers. We’ll recommend the right mix in the assessment.
How do you use AI, and what happens to our data?
AI helps us read old mappings and code, draft specifications and test cases, and triage errors. A specialist reviews everything before it reaches you. Your code and messages stay in your environment or in AI tools you approve, and production data is never used without your agreement.
How long does a migration take?
It depends on how many interfaces you have and how much of them is custom. The assessment takes two to four weeks and gives you a realistic, wave-by-wave timeline before you commit to the full project.
Do you only work with SAP?
No. We migrate both SAP PO and BizTalk Server, and our monitoring covers SAP Integration Suite, PI/PO, Azure Logic Apps and BizTalk. We give platform-neutral advice on where each interface should run.
Can AI agents use our migrated integrations?
Yes. Both platforms now support MCP, the open standard AI agents use to call business tools. SAP Integration Suite’s MCP Gateway, announced at SAP TechEd 2025, exposes APIs and integration flows as governed MCP tools, and Azure API Management can expose APIs as MCP tools and govern MCP servers, including Logic Apps workflows (in preview). We set this up as part of your migration or afterwards, with per-user identity, limits and audit logging.
What access does monitoring need?
Read-only access to your platforms’ monitoring data is enough for alerts and reporting. Any fix is applied only with your approval, and we can run the service inside your own environment if your security policy requires it.
We already have a system integrator. Can you still help?
Yes. We often join existing teams as the specialist for the custom scenarios, so your partner can keep momentum on the standard work.
