A new integration tool named the SAP Connector has been added to the Meridian Asset Management Module. It can be configured to connect directly to an SAP PM database to export tag data for import into a Meridian Enterprise vault.

The SAP Connector has been tested and certified by SAP to follow SAP standards for technical integration and to allow for upgrades with minimal interruptions.
