Middleware Strategy Document Purpose

Middleware strategy Suggests the following:

 What does the middleware do for cloud integration with SAP ARIBA
 Where does the middleware reside
 What are the components which goes into middleware
 Where is it mandatory vs. where is it optional
 What do we recommend to use

Comparison between middleware strategy with traditional Cloud Integration (CI9 SP2) vs CIG

The motive of this document is to focus on middleware usage, not on how all ARIBA
components are connected or not WHAT data is flowing through middleware. Please refer to
architecture diagram for full connectivity view.
