Overview

You have SAP applications everywhere in your organization. Some reside on-premises, some are already moving to the Cloud. Databases and documents are everywhere – and very silo’d.

The Syntax CxLink product family is there to help you leverage the power of AWS from within your SAP applications. Whether you’re trying to better organize backups, data archives, or documents, CxLink is ready. Do you need to create a data lake that the entire organization can leverage for modern insight? CxLink is ready. Are you interested in linking Amazon Connect’s powerful call center software with your SAP CRM information? Again, CxLink is ready.

Syntax CxLink is a dynamic and powerful set of applications connect​ing SAP applications and data to advanced AWS technologies such as Amazon S3 and Amazon Connect​, resulting in improved performance, reduced costs, and an increase in the business value of SAP investments.
