The amount of time to deploy CIG itself is typically only a few months, but depending on the number of modules and ERPs you have, this process may take longer. That means that two years is probably a safe bet for planning your transition. Ariba began suggesting that customers begin the process of moving to CIG in 2019, but then moved that sunset date to Dec. The original sunset date for the SAP Ariba Cloud Integration (CI) solution, which includes the CI-9 support package (SP) 1 and SP2 as well as SAP Business Suite add-on was Dec.

This excellent blog from SAP is a great read for an in-depth look at how CIG can transform your processes, however, there are a couple of key points that you need to know for planning your upgrade. There will be no additional maintenance provided by Ariba for CI9 after that date.Īriba is suggesting that the time to firm up your company’s plans for that move is now.ĬIG is an incredibly robust integration tool that provides a single integration gateway from an ERP, such as S/4HANA, to the Ariba Network to offer a centralized transactional space. If you have Ariba, you must move to Ariba’s Cloud Integration Gateway, or CIG, before Dec. No deadlines for integration/migration are affected. SAP announced that the name of the Ariba Cloud Integration Gateway (CIG) is changing to the 'SAP Integration Suite, managed gateway for spend management and SAP Business Network”.

Editor's note: this post was updated on Apto reflect an upcoming name change.
