{{Short description|Component of SAP NetWeaver}}

'''SAP NetWeaver Process Integration (SAP PI(post com))''' is [[SAP AG|SAP]]'s [[enterprise application integration]] (EAI) [[software]], a component of the [[NetWeaver]] product group used to facilitate the exchange of information among a company's internal software and systems and those of external parties. Before the current version, SAP PI was called '''SAP Exchange Infrastructure (SAP XI)'''. Like other NetWeaver components, SAP PI is compatible with software products of other companies.

SAP calls PI an [[Middleware|integration broker]] because it mediates between entities with varying requirements in terms of connectivity, format, and protocols. According to SAP, PI reduces the [[Total cost of ownership|TCO]] by providing a common repository for interfaces. The central component of SAP PI is the '''SAP Integration Server''', which facilitates interaction between diverse operating systems and applications across internal and external networked computer systems.
