Overcast is a fully maintained business application on top of Salesforce delivering end-to-end business processes across Salesforce and SAP and drastically reduces the cost and speed of integrating SAP by reducing project complexity and risks.

Rather than implementing a third layer, Overcast is built on the Salesforce platform as a Salesforce app, automates most integration steps and provides 80%+ of typical integration requirements out-of-the-box already. The benefits include that you do not have to manage a complex project where three sub-teams need to talk to each other – the Salesforce admin can do the integration on his own and talk to the SAP expert in his language. Integrations done this way are thus much faster to implement! This is made possible because Overcast was designed for SAP integration and works seamlessly with the public SAP APIs.
Provide the best-possible customer experience based on a Salesforce platform fully connected in real-time to all your backoffice processes and data available.
CRM and ERP business processes are fundamentally inter-connected cannot live on their own. As a result, deep Salesforce and SAP system integration is a must like with no other two systems alike. However, building out complex integrations from scratch between Salesforce and the highly complex SAP ERP systems is prohibitively complicated as well as extremely time & resource-intensive.
Issues when building integrations from scratch: the more data that is replicated, the more business logic will need to be replicated. On the other hand, realizing business process integrations and UI mashups also leads to a lot of complex code.
All this custom code needs to be maintained over the next 10-20 years with a dedicated team.
Overcast provides a powerful framework for frontend integration projects:
1.Build on a proven integration design right from the start of the project and keep your solution architecture clean and free of risk (most IT problems stem from a bad design)
2.Avoid writing thousands of lines of custom code or script that will make your solution architecture rigid and hard to maintain (will your star developer be here for you in 10 years to maintain the code?)
Vigience Overcast provides ready-to-use application software as a service in the form of its Overcast Components grouped into 8 solutions. These data synchronization as well as the real-time UI and business process integrations are fully supported by Vigience. Not just the integration platform but the maintenance of the actual complex integrations are outsourced to Vigience!
With other iPaaS platforms, you get a few sample templates but building out the complex integration has to be done in a customer project – a task so difficult that integrations often cost millions and take years. Alternatively, integrations that go beyond data exchange are simply not implemented and the business benefit of having a modern CRM system is never fully realized.
