ERP integration connects a core ERP system with other business applications—inside and outside of an organization—including finance, human resources, manufacturing, supply chain, sales, procurement, e-commerce, and more, giving organizations a unified view of operations. This is done to eliminate data silos, automate information flows, and enable real-time information sharing across business functions. Without integration, organizations could face duplicate data entry in multiple systems, inconsistent information sharing, and inefficient manual processes.
For organizations undertaking digital transformation, ERP integration provides a strong foundation for process automation and data-driven decision-making while making an organization’s IT ecosystem work together cohesively.
Research from International Data Group (IDG) suggests 44 percent of transactional data in ERP systems comes from external sources, which is why it's critical to integrate all data sources and internal systems to ensure consistent data integrity throughout the digital ecosystem.
ERP integration has been undertaken by organizations of all sizes, across all industries. Key benefits include:
There are several challenges to consider when managing any ERP integration:
Technical complexity:
Data mapping and transformation:
Resource constraints:
Here are some possible approaches to ERP integration:
Here are some typical best practices followed during an ERP integration initiative:
A successful ERP integration requires many steps, which is why upfront planning is critical. The following are some important considerations:
Migration planning and risk management:
Testing and validation approaches:
Cutover strategies and business continuity:
Organizations are moving toward cloud-based applications while keeping up with ERP product evolutions to optimize technology investments and minimize business disruptions linked to end-of-support of legacy ERP systems. With so much data flowing into an organization from external sources, it’s essential to ensure B2B integrations coordinate with any ERP migrations. Here are some important considerations:
External data exchange requirements:
Supply chain integration challenges:
It’s time to stop struggling with ERP integration. With OpenText, you can leverage the right mix of B2B expertise, modern technology, and best practices to speed up integration initiatives and reduce business continuity risk.
Maximize the value of ERP applications: Businesses risk operational delays and bottlenecks if integration is not prioritized during ERP integrations. Optimize ERP systems like SAP S/4HANA, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Oracle NetSuite, and Oracle Fusion by reassessing the B2B infrastructure for optimum data workflow.
Speed up ERP implementation planning: Businesses need mapping support for easier and faster ERP integration while they manage varying B2B/EDI standards and hidden data quality issues. Accelerate ERP project planning with consolidated insights on existing integration.
Avoid business disruption: Ensuring business continuity is key with ERP integration. Assess and address all connections within the overall integration architecture as a buffer against the risk of delays, cost increases, and missed opportunities.
Extend your IT resources: Companies require expertise to execute ERP integration and other complex modernization initiatives without diverting tight budgets and resources away from business activities. Leverage a trusted partner to alleviate resourcing challenges.

Organizations that strategically invest in comprehensive integration and modern technologies will maintain operational efficiency, adapt to changing requirements, and fully leverage their ERP investments. Artificial intelligence (AI) and other emerging technologies are becoming critical to the future of ERP, enabling advancements such as AI and machine learning for advanced data mapping that automatically identifies field relationships across systems. Predictive analytics can anticipate integration failures by identifying patterns preceding typical issues. AI-powered tools automatically detect and correct inconsistencies during synchronization.
Integration with emerging technologies, such as internet of things (IoT), supports real-time data collection from sensors, digital product password scans for traceability, and blockchain for secure transaction records.
OpenText B2B integration solutions are designed to address complex ERP integration challenges while creating a foundation for sustainable business growth, positioning you to seamlessly incorporate AI and other emerging technologies as your business evolves.
