Saigun provides integration with an existing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system, such as SAP®, J.D. Edwards EnterpriseOne and World® for the IBM iSeries platform,, PeopleSoft, and other corporate systems.

We use several techniques for making ERP data available to the Commercial Server applications, including batch downloads, real-time connectors, queued connectors, and mirrored updates. The technique you choose depends on the requirements of your site, the availability and performance of your ERP system, and the availability of the different types of integration connectors to your ERP system.

E-commerce data, such as the Customer data, Product inventory levels etc. often exists on the ERP system and must be made accessible to the Server application. Additionally, algorithms and business rules, such as the Taxation rules, Credit card processing policies, Product authorization rules etc. usually exist on the ERP system and must also be made accessible to the Commerce Server application.

Finally, data from the Server application, such as Customer orders, Web customers and customer updates etc. must be sent back to the ERP System.

It is important to decide which system should own the data; in most cases, it will probably be the ERP system.
