In a rapidly transforming digital landscape, seamless integration between cloud and on-premise systems has become a cornerstone of business agility. At SAP TechEd 2025 Sydney, powered by Mastering SAP, technology innovators, developers, and business leaders gathered to explore how the SAP Integration Suite (CPI) is revolutionizing enterprise connectivity.
McKinsol Consulting Inc., a leading SAP services provider, played an influential role at the event, sharing real-world insights and strategies on leveraging CPI (Cloud Platform Integration) to simplify integration, accelerate cloud adoption, and enhance digital transformation journeys.
A New Era of Intelligent Connectivity with SAP Integration Suite (CPI)
As organizations increasingly embrace SAP S/4HANA Cloud and SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), the need for seamless integration between multiple data environments—on-premise, cloud, and hybrid—has never been greater. The SAP Integration Suite (CPI), a core component of SAP BTP, provides the backbone for this connectivity.
At SAP TechEd Sydney 2025, experts emphasized how CPI empowers enterprises to connect disparate systems, automate processes, and exchange data securely and efficiently. Its ability to integrate SAP and non-SAP systems alike makes it an essential tool for businesses pursuing agility, innovation, and a clean core strategy.
McKinsol showcased how CPI is enabling organizations to streamline data flows, reduce manual dependencies, and build a future-ready integration architecture—all while maintaining data trust and compliance.
Why Integration Matters More Than Ever
The digital ecosystem is evolving fast, with enterprises running applications across multiple environments—public cloud, private cloud, and on-premise. Without integration, this diversity can lead to data silos, inefficiencies, and disjointed user experiences.
At SAP TechEd 2025, McKinsol’s experts highlighted how integration is not just a technical necessity but a strategic differentiator. Businesses that harness the SAP Integration Suite effectively can ensure real-time collaboration, data synchronization, and end-to-end visibility across all business processes.
From order management to supply chain coordination, integration ensures that every touchpoint of the enterprise functions cohesively, empowering decision-makers with accurate and timely insights.

Key Differences Between RISE, GROW, and On-Premise Strategies | SAP TechEd 2025
Another highlight of SAP TechEd on Tour 2025 was the detailed discussion on RISE with SAP, GROW with SAP, and On-Premise strategies—each representing a unique approach to enterprise modernization.
- RISE with SAP offers a comprehensive business transformation as a service (BTaaS) model. It’s ideal for large enterprises aiming to reimagine processes with integrated analytics, AI, and managed infrastructure.
- GROW with SAP targets mid-market companies seeking flexibility and speed, providing pre-configured industry solutions for rapid deployment.
- On-Premise Strategies remain relevant for organizations with strict compliance requirements, allowing complete control over infrastructure and customization.
At SAP TechEd Sydney 2025, McKinsol experts explained how the SAP Integration Suite (CPI) acts as the common thread linking these three strategies. Regardless of deployment choice, CPI ensures data harmony and process continuity, making hybrid environments more efficient and less complex.
Migration Experiences from ECC to Public or Private Cloud S/4HANA | SAP TechEd Sydney
Migrating from SAP ECC to S/4HANA Cloud—whether public or private—requires careful planning, robust governance, and seamless integration. McKinsol shared its migration expertise at SAP TechEd 2025 Sydney, emphasizing the importance of data trust, clean core principles, and integration readiness.
McKinsol’s structured approach to migration includes:
- Data Assessment and Cleansing: Identifying redundant and obsolete data to ensure a clean transition.
- Integration Mapping: Designing integration flows between legacy systems and new cloud platforms using CPI.
- Testing and Validation: Conducting multiple test cycles to ensure performance, reliability, and compliance.
- Go-Live and Continuous Optimization: Leveraging SAP BTP tools for real-time monitoring and performance tuning.
These experiences underscore that successful migration is not just about technology—it’s about maintaining operational continuity while unlocking the agility and intelligence of the cloud.
The Role of SAP BTP in Enhancing Integration and Innovation
At SAP TechEd 2025, one of the most discussed topics was how SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) enhances the power of integration through analytics, AI, and automation. McKinsol demonstrated how combining CPI with BTP services—like event-driven architecture, API management, and workflow automation—helps businesses innovate faster.
For example, enterprises can use BTP to build extensions on top of SAP S/4HANA while maintaining a clean core. CPI ensures these extensions communicate smoothly with both SAP and third-party applications, avoiding disruptions and redundancies.
This integration-first mindset aligns perfectly with McKinsol’s philosophy: enabling customers to innovate with confidence through unified, intelligent, and future-proof systems.
