The smart alternative to SAP Integration Suite
A mature, flexible integration platform that works seamlessly with SAP, without the astronomical costs of SAP Integration Suite. With the Frank!Framework, you save up to 90% on costs and get more done in less time. Our open-source solution puts you in control of where your money goes.
The licensing fees for SAP Integration Suite can reach up to a million euros per year. And that doesn’t even include the specialists who know how to work with it. They’re scarce and expensive, with rates starting at €200 per hour.
With SAP Integration Suite, you’re tied to SAP’s roadmap, planning, and ideas about integrations. If they decide not to support a feature you need, you’re simply out of luck. You miss the freedom to decide for yourself how your systems connect.
Despite the high costs, you frequently run into technical limitations. Some integrations simply aren’t possible within SAP Integration Suite or require complex, costly adjustments.
Predecessors of SAP Integration Suite (such as SAP CPI, SAP PI or SAP PO) do not meet important regulations like DORA. But migrating to the new version is complex and costly, because it requires specialised SAP knowledge that is hard to find.
SAP Integration Suite is the best-known solution, but it comes with major drawbacks.
There is a better and much more affordable alternative: the Frank!Framework
The Frank!Framework is a mature integration platform that has been helping organizations connect SAP to virtually anything for 20 years. It was originally developed for a major Dutch insurance company because other integration platforms couldn’t meet their complex requirements. To this day, this insurer relies on the Frank!Framework for all incoming and outgoing flows across their various SAP modules. Since then, the Frank!Framework has grown into an open-source platform used by hundreds of organizations.
Request a demoFrank!Framework is fully open source and therefore free to use. You only pay for implementation and service. Multiple partners can provide this work, so you’re not tied to a single vendor who can raise prices without limits.
Whether it's iDOC, BAPI, OData, RFC or REST, the Frank!Framework supports all common SAP APIs and interface protocols. This allows you to implement and manage both traditional and modern web-based integrations seamlessly.
Frank!Framework is, at its core, a low-code platform. With more than 100 ready-to-use building blocks, you can create a robust integration in no time. But if you want something different, you can customize everything as you wish. You choose whether you rely on low-code automation or take full manual control when needed.
Our framework has been used for two decades by a major Dutch insurer for highly complex integrations. It is a stable solution you can rely on. With our complete Lifecycle Management (LCM) approach, we guarantee security and continuity. The Frank!Framework processes and monitors millions of messages every day without issues. And with the Frank!Framework, you comply with the latest laws and regulations, including NIS2.
Frank!Framework can be deployed on-premise or in any cloud environment. This gives you the freedom to choose the infrastructure that best fits your needs and compliance requirements.
One of the unique advantages of the Frank!Framework is the user-friendly Frank!Console. From a single central location, you can monitor, resend, log, test, and debug messages, all without additional software. This allows service managers to resolve 999 out of 1000 incidents themselves, without involving a developer or vendor.
Our open-source model ensures you’re not tied to a single provider. You can switch to another service partner without changing your software. This way, you stay in control of your future.
