SAP CPI is an integration solution within the SAP Integration Suite used to connect different systems and applications. The tool enables seamless synchronization of data and processes between SAP systems and third-party applications. Its deep integration into the SAP ecosystem and ability to handle complex enterprise scenarios distinguish it from other integration tools. The platform is frequently deployed for data migrations, real-time synchronizations, and automation of business processes.

Organizations seek SAP CPI expertise mainly in IT & software (68 %), Manufacturing (10 %), and Public sector (10 %). Typical tasks include configuring integration scenarios, handling errors in data exchange processes, and optimizing interfaces between legacy systems and modern applications. Project teams regularly engage specialists to implement end-to-end integrations and maintain monitoring of existing connections. Documentation of integration solutions and user training are additional responsibilities.

Current market demand for this competency remains stable with 34 projects posted, where SAP CPI is mandatory in 47 % of cases.

Methodology: We count IT postings of the last 90 days that mention SAP CPI. Projects posted several times that are detected as duplicates count once; postings without an assignable IT category are missing, so the figures are a lower bound. The trend compares the share of all IT postings with the 90 days before and only appears with enough comparison data. We do not show figures based on fewer than 30 data points. The rating “must have” or “nice to have” comes from an AI analysis of the posting texts. Distributions only refer to postings that state the respective attribute; we state the coverage alongside. The description of the skill is created automatically (from our skill directory or by AI) and checked by machine: no numbers, no company names, only the skill and its neighbours in the taxonomy. Texts are created and checked automatically, numbers come from the postings.
