What is Open Connectors?

SAP Open Connectors (formerly Cloud Elements) is a cloud-based integration platform as a service (iPaaS) that simplifies connecting to a wide variety of third-party applications and data sources. It provides pre-built connectors, also known as 'elements', which normalize APIs and data models, allowing developers to integrate with multiple services of the same type (e.g., multiple CRM systems or multiple marketing automation platforms) using a single, consistent interface. This reduces the complexity and effort required for application integration and data integration, enabling faster time-to-market for new solutions. It is commonly used to integrate SaaS applications, cloud services, and on-premise systems.
