Holistic integration, as defined by the SAP Integration Suite, is a comprehensive approach that supports diverse integration needs across an enterprise. This strategy is built on several key pillars or styles of integration. These include Process Integration for orchestrating business processes (A2A/B2B), Data Integration for handling bulk data movement and synchronization, and Event Integration for enabling real-time, asynchronous communication through event-driven architectures. Together, these capabilities allow organizations to connect applications, data, and business partners in a cohesive and flexible manner, addressing a wide spectrum of integration scenarios from a single platform.

B. Cloud Integration: This is the name of a specific capability within the SAP Integration Suite used for process integration, not a distinct holistic integration aspect itself.

D. Domain Integration: This is not a standard term used by SAP to classify a core integration style or pattern within the SAP Integration Suite's holistic approach.

1. SAP Help Portal: In the official documentation for SAP Integration Suite

the overview section describes the suite's purpose: "to connect and contextualize processes and data... It simplifies integration and harmonizes processes... for different integration domains like API

application-to-application (A2A)

business-to-business (B2B)

business-to-government (B2G)

and event-based integrations." This directly supports the concepts of Process (A2A

B2B)
