This article explores the work of the American Express Global Commercial Card team and the SAP Custom Development organization to streamline the integration of American Express’ electronic payment platform, Buyer Initiated Payments (BIP), into SAP ERP. The two organizations co-developed a plug-and-play interface, or connector, that allows SAP users to quickly and efficiently integrate American Express’ BIP payment solution with SAP’s accounts payable functionality. Sewing the systems together on American Express’ side is SAP’s functionality for process integration (PI), underpinned by the SAP NetWeaver technology platform. In this article, you’ll learn how, in addition to creating a successful solution, this co-innovation project solidified a strong relationship between the two organizations, setting the stage for future projects.
