Seeburger BIS Consultant & EDI Specialist
I help companies implement, maintain, and migrate Seeburger BIS for B2B/EDI integrations. Whether you need partner onboarding with EDI tools, AS2/SFTP connectivity, EDI SAP integration using EDI integration software, or a migration path to SAP Integration Suite, I can help you build reliable B2B integration solutions.
What Is Seeburger BIS?
Seeburger BIS (Business Integration Suite) is middleware designed for B2B integration solutions and enterprise application connectivity. As a Seeburger BIS consultant, I work with companies using these EDI tools to handle partner onboarding, message translation between formats (X12, EDIFACT, XML, CSV), and protocol management (AS2, SFTP, FTP, OFTP, HTTPS).
Companies use Seeburger for:
- EDI partner management – Onboarding trading partners, managing connections, monitoring transactions
- Message mapping – Converting between EDI formats (X12 850 to EDIFACT ORDERS, EDI to IDoc, etc.)
- Protocol connectivity – AS2 certificates, SFTP key management, secure file transfers
- ERP integration – Connecting EDI transactions to SAP, Oracle, or custom systems via IDocs, APIs, or file-based imports
Seeburger BIS is an on-premise or managed service platform. Many companies are evaluating cloud alternatives like SAP Integration Suite, but Seeburger remains mature EDI integration software with strong EDI SAP connectivity and proven B2B integration solutions.
B2B / EDI Integration with Seeburger
Seeburger BIS excels at B2B integration solutions where you need reliable, repeatable EDI transaction processing. As a Seeburger BIS consultant, I've implemented EDI integration software workflows that include:
- Receive X12 850 purchase order via AS2 from a trading partner
- Validate and transform to SAP IDoc format
- Post IDoc to SAP ECC or S/4HANA
- Generate X12 997 functional acknowledgment and send back to partner
- Monitor for errors, retry failures, and alert on exceptions
I've implemented these patterns for logistics, manufacturing, and retail companies using Seeburger's mapping designer, partner manager, and process orchestration tools. The platform handles high transaction volumes and provides audit trails for compliance.
Typical Seeburger BIS Use Cases I Support
Partner Onboarding & Testing
Set up new trading partners in Seeburger BIS, configure AS2 certificates or SFTP keys, build message mappings, run test transactions, and coordinate cutover with your EDI partners.
Mapping Design & Maintenance
Create and maintain X12, EDIFACT, XML, and custom format mappings. Handle partner-specific variations, validate transaction sets, and ensure data quality before posting to your ERP.
EDI to SAP Integration
Connect Seeburger EDI workflows to SAP using IDocs, BAPIs, or RFC calls. I specialize in EDI SAP integration, mapping purchase orders, invoices, ASNs, and other documents to SAP business objects using EDI tools. I've worked with both ECC and S/4HANA environments.
Protocol Management (AS2, SFTP, OFTP)
Configure and troubleshoot B2B protocols. Set up AS2 encryption and signing, manage SFTP public/private keys, configure OFTP for automotive/logistics partners, and handle certificate renewals.
Monitoring & Error Resolution
Set up monitoring dashboards, configure alerts for failed transactions, diagnose mapping errors, and resolve connectivity issues. I can also train your team on Seeburger's monitoring tools.
Migrating from Seeburger BIS to SAP Integration Suite
Many companies are moving from Seeburger BIS to SAP Integration Suite (CPI with Trading Partner Management) as part of cloud transformation initiatives. The migration typically involves:
- Assessment – Document existing Seeburger mappings, partner connections, and ERP integrations
- Redesign – Rebuild mappings in SAP Integration Advisor, configure trading partners in TPM
- Testing – Run parallel tests with partners to validate transaction flows in both systems
- Cutover – Switch partner connections from Seeburger to Integration Suite, one partner at a time or in waves
- Support – Monitor for issues post-migration and provide hypercare until the new platform stabilizes
I've helped companies migrate from Seeburger to SAP Integration Suite while maintaining partner relationships and minimizing transaction disruptions. The key is thorough mapping documentation and phased partner cutover.
If you're evaluating a move from Seeburger to cloud EDI tools, I can assess your current environment and build a realistic migration roadmap. See also: SAP Integration Suite Consultant.

- Configure dashboards to track transaction volume, errors, and partner activity
- Set up email alerts for failed mappings, connection errors, or stuck transactions
- Build retry logic for transient failures (network issues, temporary partner downtime)
- Document runbooks for common error scenarios so your team can resolve issues quickly
- Train internal teams on Seeburger administration and troubleshooting
I can also provide ongoing support or on-call assistance for production Seeburger environments if your team needs backup or expertise for complex issues.
