Arquitectura Tecnológica orientada a empresas con ERP On-Premise para la exposición y consumo de servicios con herramientas cloud

Abstract

En este artículo, se propone una arquitectura tecnológica que permite a las empresas que tienen implementado SAP ERP, exponer y consumir los servicios del ERP On-Premise a través de una plataforma cloud utilizando un agente de integración en la red corporativa privada. Esta propuesta tecnológica permite optimizar los tiempos de respuesta de los procesos de negocios implementados en un ERP. Esto se realiza a través del uso de los componentes de integración (SAP Cloud Connector o SAP Web Dispatcher), los cuales orquestan la conexión entre el ERP y el SCP (SAP Cloud Platform) a través de su acción como proxys inversor. La arquitectura tecnológica propuesta está compuesta por cinco capas: clientes, plataforma de servicios SCP, punto de integración, ERP On Premise y base de datos. Finalmente, a través de un caso de estudio, se determinó que el proceso de gestión de las reservas redujo su índice de errores en un 18% y el costo asociado a los actores del proceso disminuyó en un 25% permitiendo evidenciar que la propuesta cumple con los objetivos trazados.

In this article, a technological architecture is proposed that allows companies that have SAP ERP implemented to expose and consume ERP On-Premise services through a cloud platform using an integration agent in the private corporate network. This technological proposal allows optimizing the response times of the business processes implemented in an ERP. This is done through the use of integration components (SAP Cloud Connector or SAP Web Dispatcher), which orchestrate the connection between the ERP and the SCP (SAP Cloud Platform) through their action as investor proxies. The proposed technological architecture is composed of five layers: clients, SCP service platform, integration point, ERP On Premise and database. Finally, through a case study, it was determined that the reserve management process reduced its error rate by 18% and the cost associated with the actors in the process decreased by 25%, allowing evidence that the proposal complies with the objectives set.In this article, a technological architecture is proposed that allows companies that have SAP ERP implemented to expose and consume ERP On-Premise services through a cloud platform using an integration agent in the private corporate network.
