- 43. SAP PI Best-Practices 1- midsize SAP clients : mySAP-centric organizations that hadn't selected a strategic integration platform tend to adopt XI as their primary integration platform. 2- large SAP clients : In the past, many of them selected an integration platform, but they're also aware that PI (XI) will be a necessary component of the SAP infrastructure for ESA. Therefore, they recognize that it's important to "understand" the product, so now they're introducing XI alongside their established integration platforms.

Summary The European energy market is currently subject to the political regulations of ”Unbundling” and ”Nordic Energy Market Consolidation” which require the physical division of sales and distribution systems while on the same time increase the need for systems integration. Vattenfall is an agile company with a heterogenous systems environment where systems integration is a vital competence. Choice of integration platform is a strategic decision and two options are currently viable: MS BizTalk and SAP PI. A qualitative study has been conducted to aid Vattenfall in taking this decision. Vattenfall has to use SAP PI for integration between SAP instances. However, it is suggested that Vattenfall continues to use MS BizTalk as the primary integration engine during the next 1-2 years due to: unsufficient human competence in SAP PI within and outside Vattenfall an unclear roadmap of the development of SAP PI the maturity of MS BizTalk a potential vendor lock-in situation with SAP During the next 1-2 years Vattenfall should carefully monitor the development of SAP PI and the competence building around this product. If SAP PI becomes more mature, more widely used in the market and has a more clear vendor product strategy Vattenfall might use PI even for NonSAP-to-NonSAP scenarios.
