Integration Engineering

SAP Integrations Built to Last. Designed to Evolve.

We design and build SAP integrations across the full enterprise landscape — SuccessFactors, S/4HANA, ECP, and beyond. Engineered to be BTP-native, AI-invocable, and maintainable long after go-live.

The Real Problem

Most SAP integrations get built to meet a deadline. Not a standard.

The SAP ecosystem is extraordinarily complex. SuccessFactors, Integration Suite, S/4HANA, ECP, and dozens of third-party platforms — each with its own data model, authentication paradigm, and failure mode.

The industry default is to build integrations that get the job done at delivery — connections that transfer data, work until they don't, and leave no clear ownership once the consultant leaves.

At Driftal, we build to a different standard. Consistent behaviour, predictable error handling, and architecture that an AI co-pilot can understand and act on — from day one.

Silent Failures at Month-End

Integrations that appear healthy until payroll reconciliation reveals missing records. No proactive alerting, no structured error output — just a support ticket.

Point-to-Point Brittleness

Every new system requires rebuilding from scratch. No reusable patterns, no shared standards, no documentation that survives the handover.

AI Agents Can't Act on Your Integrations

Joule and co-pilots are live in your landscape — but your integrations weren't structured to be invoked or understood by AI. That gap is widening.

Impossible to Maintain Without the Builder

Undocumented integrations, no runbooks, and logic spread across custom scripts. The original developer is the only person who truly understands what was built.

How We Build

Five principles behind every integration we deliver.

These aren't marketing claims. They're the engineering standards we hold ourselves to on every engagement — regardless of size.

BTP-Native by Default

We build on SAP BTP Integration Suite as a first-class platform — not as a wrapper. Proper use of BTP primitives, runtime artifacts, and deployment patterns from the start.

No retrofitting

Structured for AI Invocation

Every integration we build exposes clean, consistent action interfaces. Joule and Driffy can query status, trigger re-runs, and understand outcomes — without needing CPI access.

Joule-ready

Consistent Error Handling

Predictable failure behaviour across every integration — so troubleshooting is straightforward, escalation paths are always clear, and your team isn't guessing when something goes wrong.

Predictable failures

Built to Be Handed Over

Every engagement includes full documentation, runbooks, and a handover session. Your team should be able to own and extend what we build — without calling us first.

Self-sufficient teams

Modular & Extensible

Reusable integration patterns mean that adding a new destination or source is incremental — not another full-scale project.

What We Build

Integration capabilities across the full SAP landscape.

From employee master replication to finance data flows — delivered on BTP Integration Suite with consistent standards throughout.

SuccessFactors Core Integrations

Employee Central to payroll, position management, org hierarchy, compensation, and benefits — built with an understanding of how HR data actually works, including incremental syncs, effective dates, and downstream sensitivity.

  • EC → ECP
  • EC → S/4HANA
  • Org Sync
  • Position Management

S/4HANA Integrations

Bidirectional data flows between S/4HANA and HR systems — cost centre replication, GL account mappings, FI postings, and employee-to-finance data synchronisation across hybrid and cloud landscapes.

  • Cost Centre Sync
  • FI Postings
  • Employee → S/4
  • Hybrid Landscapes

Payroll & Time Integration

End-to-end payroll data flows including time management, off-cycle payroll triggers, absence data, and payroll result feeds — built with reconciliation checkpoints and clear exception handling at every stage.

  • ECP Replication
  • Time Data Flows
  • Absence Sync
  • Off-Cycle Triggers

Third-Party & Non-SAP Connectivity

Benefits platforms, ATS systems, background screening, banking connections, and LMS integrations — using standardised BTP connector patterns so each new system doesn't require starting from scratch.

  • Benefits Vendors
  • ATS Platforms
  • Banking APIs
  • LMS Systems

Integration Center Job Development

Custom Integration Center jobs built on the Execution Manager framework — structured for observability from day one, with consistent naming, clear error outputs, and predictable execution behaviour.

  • IC Job Builds
  • Scheduled Execution
  • Error Handling
  • Reliable Execution

AI-Invocable Integration Architecture

Structuring new or existing integrations so they can be triggered, queried, and managed by Joule or Driffy through natural language — making your integration landscape a first-class AI capability.

  • Joule Enablement
  • Driffy Compatibility
  • Action Interfaces
  • Prompt-Triggerable
Already Have Integrations?

We work with what you have. And make it ready for what's next.

Most of our clients don't start from zero. They come with hundreds of integrations already running — built over years, by multiple vendors, to varying standards. We help them understand what they have, what's at risk, and what it takes to bring it forward.

Phase 1

Integration Landscape Assessment

We review your existing integration estate — cataloguing what's running, how it's built, and what standards (if any) were applied. Every integration gets a health score across four dimensions: reliability, maintainability, observability, and AI-readiness.

  • Full integration catalogue with health scores
  • Risk identification — what's most likely to fail
  • AI-readiness gap analysis per integration
  • Delivered as a structured report your team can act on
Phase 2

Transformation Roadmap & Effort Planning

Not everything needs to be transformed at once — and not everything needs to be transformed at all. We help you prioritise based on business criticality, risk level, and AI-readiness impact. The output is a clear, costed roadmap your leadership can make decisions from.

  • Tiered prioritisation — critical, important, low-risk
  • Effort estimates per integration or per batch
  • Phased delivery plan that fits your budget and timeline
  • Clear "leave as-is" recommendations where relevant
Phase 3

Selective Transformation Delivery

We rebuild or modernise integrations in prioritised batches — bringing them up to the Driftal standard: BTP-native, observable, AI-invocable, and documented. You don't need to transform everything. You need to transform the right things, in the right order.

  • Batch-based delivery with minimal production disruption
  • Each transformed integration is Joule and Driffy ready
  • Full documentation and handover at every batch
  • Your team learns the standard as we go — not after

You don't need to start over. Existing integrations that are low-risk and low-traffic may need nothing at all. We'll tell you honestly — and only recommend transformation where it genuinely changes outcomes.

Powered by Argus

We build them. Argus watches them.

Every integration Driftal delivers is built to be compatible with Argus — our real-time integration monitoring platform. That means your HRIT team gets visibility into execution health, error patterns, and replication status without needing CPI access or manual log hunting.

It's not a mandatory add-on. But clients who run both consistently find that monitoring gaps close and incident resolution times drop significantly — because the integration was built to be observed.

Argus sits separately — monitoring the execution health of the integrations Driftal builds. Two distinct layers, working together. Argus observes at the platform level, not within the integration itself.
How We Work

From first conversation to production go-live.

A structured, predictable engagement model with clear handover at every stage — so you always know where things stand.

01

Landscape Discovery

We map your existing integration landscape, document what's running, identify gaps and failure patterns, and define the target architecture before any build begins.

02

Design & Standards Definition

Integration design, error handling approach, and naming conventions are agreed upfront — so everything that follows is built to the same standard before a line of code is written.

03

Iterative Build & Testing

Agile sprints with demo checkpoints. You see working integrations at every stage, tested against real data — not documented in slide decks and handed over at the end.

04

Go-Live & Handover

Production deployment with full documentation, runbooks, and a structured handover session — so your team owns what was built and can extend it independently.

Let's build integrations your team can actually own.

Whether you're starting fresh or inheriting a fragile integration landscape — we can help you build something that works, and lasts.
