Results of the global Survey for SAP Integration 2017

As the previous years, the International Focus Group for Integration (IFG for Integration) performed its annual survey for SAP Process Integration, SAP Cloud Platform Integration and topics around SAP integration. The survey was scheduled from May till September 2017.

The survey contained 35 questions. Apart from our every year’s questions the focus topic for 2017 was IoT and cloud integration.

Different to the years before, the survey was published in multiple languages (English, German, French, Spanish and Chinese) which definitely helped to improve the response rate compared to the last two years.

Many thanks to all 511 participants from all five continents that replied to our survey!

The complete survey results were forwarded to all participants who included their email address in the survey registration.
