Company

SISU Limited was founded in January 2007 with the aim of offering high quality migration products and services to SAP consultancies and SAP customers.
SISU's main current focus is the development and commercialization of BC2XI™ Version 2, an application that automates much of the migration from SAP Business Connector to SAP's PI (formerly XI) platform. Version 2 builds on the concepts and functionality provided by BC2XI™ Version 1, which was acquired by SISU early in 2007.

SISU has worked with customers in Finland, Belgium, the Netherlands, the United States and New Zealand and is constantly talking to new potential partners and customers in the market who are looking for high value solutions that match their requirements.

Our Vision

Our vision is to continually expand our knowledge of integration platforms and be able to offer a growing number of supported platforms for migration. Focusing initally on migration from SAP Business Connector / WebMethods to SAP's PI platform (due to customer demand), our long term strategy is to be able to provide migration services from any middleware platform to any other platform.

Our Team

The core team is built up from a mix of SAP integration specialists with a solid base of experience with SAP XI/PI dating back to the beginning of 2003, and experienced software product developers.
