Abstract
The aim of this paper is to evaluate different approaches for the integration of an Enterprise Resource Planning System (ERP) with a Business Process Management System (BPMS). The integration approaches include a point to point and a broker-based architecture that was evaluated on a sales business process implemented in the ERP system SAP R/3® and the BPMS BizAgi Enterprise®. The results show that the integration driven by a broker provides better performance, requires less effort and increases flexibility.
