How do you execute scheduled IT maintenance on a 24/7 production environment with over 150 interfaces—without risking missed orders, downtime, or a flood of false error alerts?  In our latest live episode of HANA Cafe NL, Jan Penninkhof and I sit down with Petra Mooijer (Expertum), Bart van de Kamp (Ecotone), and Arian de Mall (Ecotone) to explore how they solved this exact challenge using SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP). What started as a VNSG SAP BTP Hackathon finalist case has evolved into an "Autonomous ALM" solution built to simplify interface operations. Key takeaways from the session: The Challenge: Moving away from legacy systems (like BizTalk) meant needing a safe, automated way to undeploy and redeploy 150+ SAP Integration Suite iFlows without manual error. The Technical Stack: Combining SAP Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP), SAP BTP Job Scheduler, process automation, and natural language control via Joule.

New HANA Café NL episode, this time on tour at the Solace Connect BeNeLux event in Nijmegen. In this episode we dive into the technical and business advantages of using Solace alongside SAP. The discussion centers on how businesses can move away from traditional "request-response" models toward an "event-driven" architecture. This shift allows for real-time data processing, improved scalability, and a more responsive digital core. Jan Penninkhof and I were joined by Emil Zegers, Kenneth Berckmoes and Jamil Ahmed from Solace. And on top of that, we were honored to have the mayor of Nijmegen, Hubert Bruls, in our show as well.

  The Heart of Transformation Integration is often described as the "heart" of digital transformation, and at Rabobank —the third-largest bank in the Netherlands—this is especially true. In this episode, experts Gaurav and Dava dive into how they manage integration at scale, moving from legacy on-premise systems to a modern, cloud-first architecture. Key Highlights and Takeaways Massive Scale & Straight-Through Processing (STP): Rabobank’s lending and insurance department operates with a 98% STP rate . This means nearly all business processes are automated via APIs with minimal human intervention. To put this in perspective, they handle approximately 1.6 million synchronous read calls and over 300,000 asynchronous calls in just the first half of the year. The Evolution of the Landscape: The bank has a long history with SAP integration, starting with SAP XI in 2010, moving through PI and PO, and currently migrating to the SAP Integration Suite on BTP (Business Technolo...

Improve customer experience by integrating data to answer a common question like “When will this be available?” Learn how Shimano is using SAP Integration Suite to break down IT silo’s and deliver the right information at the right time to the right person. Shimano processes 12 million messages on a yearly basis and 75% of those interfaces are still point to point. They work perfectly fine, but maintenance is difficult. Shimano now modernizes its integration landscape to connect to customers (dealers) and logistic service providers using the Integration Suite of SAP Business Technology Platform.
