What is the SAP Ariba Cloud Integration Gateway and Why Does Your Company Need it?
SAP has been working hard to make sure that integrating their software solutions with other SAP software solutions and with old and modern third-party systems is now simpler than before. The SAP Ariba Cloud Integration Gateway (CIG) is a recurring application when discussing the integration of supply chain and procurement activities.

To make the most of the Ariba CIG, prospective and current SAP clients should be aware of a few crucial details. Any preparation you can perform prior to your initial planning meetings with your software vendor will aid in speeding up deployment and ensuring the greatest possible system integration.

Knowing this programme’s architecture and needs as well as your company’s systems and processes in-depthly will help you get the most out of its high degree of configuration. It will also help you choose the best software vendor and installation team for your SAP solution.
Who needs to use the SAP Ariba Cloud Integration Gateway?
In essence, you will likely need to use the Ariba CIG to do so if you are utilising SAP Ariba, Ariba Snap, or need to integrate any supply chain or procurement operations with or within a cloud SAP application or service. The Cloud Integration Gateway was created to facilitate the connection of SAP software with virtually any other third-party software and service, making it simple to integrate back-end procurement operations within and outside of the Ariba framework.

It’s not so much a matter of “who needs the CIG”; if you’re utilising any aspect of Ariba, it would be crazy not to utilise this potent piece of software. Its capabilities are only truly constrained by the team’s level of experience in configuring and deploying it.
Who needs to use the SAP Ariba Cloud Integration Gateway?
The SAP Cloud Platform Integration Suite (CPI) serves as the foundation for the SAP Ariba Cloud Integration Gateway. It is pre-configured to connect systems like the sourcing and procurement features of Ariba and the back end of S/4 HANA. The power of SAP’s cloud integration solutions is such that they may be used to integrate non-SAP software with other third-party applications without deploying any additional SAP solutions.

In order to integrate SAP Ariba and its features with virtually any buyer or seller system, the Ariba CIG combines wizards and pre-configured tools with a large range of developer tools, customization possibilities, and simple extensions. No matter if you use Ariba to purchase, sell, or do both, this applies to you. The superb testing infrastructure that the Ariba CIG provides allows you to completely test your integrations in the environment where they will be deployed, which is another crucial purpose it fulfils.

Knowing more than just the Cloud Integration Gateway’s ‘physical’ architecture (which is simplified in the figure above) is essential for maximising the performance of both the Ariba CIG and your whole SAP ERP and procurement system. It is important to understand the fundamental function it serves inside your company.



The Ariba CIG’s primary objective is to integrate all of the backend services and programmes that interface with SAP Ariba and the rest of the company’s supply chain and procurement services. However, the Ariba Cloud Integration Gateway is capable of much more than just connecting applications when the proper professionals are in charge of its implementation.

In the proper hands, your SAP software specialists can utilise the Cloud Integration Gateway as a framework to decide how to reorganise your back-end apps and services as a whole, including operations and procedures that have any kind of interaction with supply chain and procurement. Because of this, it’s essential to employ software specialists with knowledge in change management as well as software deployment.

The truth is that these days, selecting the best specialists to assist you with an upgrade or new deployment of SAP procurement software means you need professionals skilled at change management on both the technical and operational sides of things.
Getting the most out of your expert Ariba deployment
Although the Cloud Integration Gateway is straightforward now, once it is in use, it could develop into a very complicated system. The built-in wizards make it straightforward to set up even the most basic buyer-side core functions, such tying Ariba services to the back ends of different SAP software products like S/4 HANA and others. If nothing else needs to be added to the system, everything is rather simple to set up and there are numerous testing options to help ensure that everything is operating as intended.

On the other hand, using a variety of pre-built extensions, connecting the Ariba CIG to suppliers is also pretty simple. Of course, when are systems ever 100% clear-cut and easy to understand in the actual world? An experienced deployment team becomes crucial at this point.

It’s crucial that the system is configured by specialists with extensive procurement industry knowledge, whether they’re making sure everything works with legacy software at either end of the supply chain or configuring the system to work with or replicate real-world operations procedures within a client organisation.

These specialists should ideally have experience in change management as well as expertise of their particular business to enable them develop a solution that will benefit their clients as much as feasible.
Customised integration and testing with the Ariba CIG
The Ariba Cloud Integration Gateway is a very potent tool in the hands of the proper experienced team due to the level of customization available with it. Because of the depth and breadth of expertise that each team member possesses, using the CIG to innovate opens up a wide range of possibilities.

Previous methods to integrate the multiple SAP procurement solutions required teams to spend a lot of time configuring and testing their solutions at different levels, frequently only to discover subtle but potentially catastrophic flaws that had snuck in. Much of this is no longer necessary thanks to the built-in testing platform in current CIG, which frees up your deployment team to focus on creating the unique procurement system your business deserves.
Getting the most out of the Ariba CIG
To ensure you make the most of what the CIG can provide, there are a few things your business can undertake early on in the assessment and deployment process. When you visit your deployment consultancy, they will be appreciative of your preparation for their advice.

The first step is to evaluate your current systems, if any, and how they interact with both internal and external systems. The most crucial first actions consist of:

  • Think about the business objectives and goals you expect the new deployment will accomplish.
  • List all internal and external stakeholders who will be impacted by the new deployment.
  • Analyse current systems, whether they are software-based or paper-based, and identify which ones will be replaced by the new or updated source-to-pay (S2P) or procure-to-pay (P2P) solution and which ones are essential.
  • Make a list of the points where your systems must communicate with those of your current suppliers.
  • List any challenges you are now experiencing with your supply chain and procurement systems, including any concerns you have about upcoming problems.

Your deployment team will also need to assign users to a variety of specific user roles that the Ariba software has defined, but these roles should assist you determine which users need to be assigned to which roles. The Project Manager, Project Sponsor, Functional Lead, and Subject Matter Experts are the very minimum that you, the customer, will be required to furnish.

In order to assist you in determining how and where your current systems finish and the new SAP systems begin, a competent software provider will take the time to get to know your organisation and how it functions. Here, using a provider with the necessary technical expertise and experience is extremely advantageous.

Even though it’s fine to base your CIG setting on the robust built-in setup wizards, with the correct deployment team and planning, you’ll end up with faster initial deployments, better process automation, and less time spent on employee training.

Consider how a new Ariba deployment or upgrade will interface with your existing and future systems as soon as you begin planning one. Fortunately, you and your deployment team will be able to rapidly and easily build and test the optimum way to link any number of SAP and third-party systems thanks to the capabilities of the Cloud Integration Gateway.
