SAP PI/PO End of Life: Why It’s Time to Migrate to SAP Integration Suite

Posted on by

As digital transformation becomes a strategic priority, enterprises must evolve their IT infrastructure to stay competitive. One of the most urgent transitions on the horizon for SAP customers is the SAP PI/PO End of Life. With SAP announcing mainstream maintenance support for SAP Process Integration/Process Orchestration (PI/PO) ending by 2030, businesses still running on PI/PO must now consider their migration roadmap.

To support this shift, NeuVays is hosting a focused webinar titled “A Success Blueprint – PI/PO Migration to SAP Integration Suite.” This event is designed to help enterprises understand the risks of delaying migration and guide them through the steps to transition confidently to the SAP Integration Suite.

What Does SAP PI/PO End of Life Mean for Your Business?

SAP PI/PO has been a cornerstone integration solution for over a decade. However, with the digital economy demanding cloud-native, scalable, and API-driven platforms, PI/PO’s architecture no longer fits the future landscape. SAP’s announcement to discontinue mainstream support signals a critical need for enterprises to act.

Key Risks of Delaying SAP PI/PO Migration:

  • No new innovations or security patches after 2030

  • Increased maintenance costs and dependency on legacy systems

  • Integration incompatibility with modern SAP cloud solutions

  • Potential compliance and security vulnerabilities

  • Lack of developer community support and expertise

Ignoring the SAP PI/PO End of Life timeline could lead to operational disruptions, increased IT costs, and lost opportunities for innovation.

Why Migrate to SAP Integration Suite?

The SAP Integration Suite is SAP’s next-generation integration platform. Built for the cloud and optimized for hybrid environments, it enables seamless integration across SAP and non-SAP systems.

Key Benefits of SAP Integration Suite:

  • Cloud-first architecture for scalability and flexibility

  • API management to build, secure, and manage digital interfaces

  • Event-driven processing for real-time responsiveness

  • Open Connectors to integrate with third-party applications

  • AI-powered Integration Advisor for faster mapping

  • Centralized monitoring and analytics for performance visibility

Migrating to SAP Integration Suite ensures your organization is prepared for a future defined by intelligent, interconnected systems.

Steps to Prepare for SAP PI/PO Migration

Migrating from PI/PO to Integration Suite requires more than just technical execution—it’s a strategic transformation. Here’s how to approach it:

1. Conduct a SAP Integration Suite Migration Assessment

Start with a detailed assessment of your existing integration landscape. This includes:

  • Inventory of all PI/PO interfaces

  • Analysis of interface complexity and criticality

  • Identification of reusable assets and obsolete components

  • Mapping to equivalent Integration Suite tools

  • Defining timelines, costs, and potential risks

A SAP Integration Suite Migration Assessment helps reduce surprises and plan proactively.

2. Design the Target Integration Architecture

Create a new architecture based on modern principles:

  • Replace legacy protocols with APIs

  • Leverage SAP-provided content from API Business Hub

  • Adopt event-based workflows for real-time data exchange

  • Align integration with business goals and compliance requirements

This step ensures your integration design is future-ready and efficient.

3. Execute a Pilot Migration

Choose a non-critical or less complex integration scenario to validate your approach. The pilot phase allows you to:

  • Test tools and templates

  • Refine your migration methodology

  • Train your internal teams

  • Mitigate risks before full rollout

4. Roll Out in Phases

Implement your migration plan in structured waves:

  • Prioritize based on business impact and complexity

  • Maintain continuous business operations

  • Monitor performance closely with SAP’s built-in tools

  • Adapt and optimize based on real-time feedback

5. Post-Migration Optimization

Migration is not the end—it’s the beginning of ongoing improvement. Post-migration focus areas include:

  • Fine-tuning performance and data flow

  • Establishing centralized monitoring dashboards

  • Training users and support staff

  • Governing integrations for long-term success
