The document discusses integration options for connecting SAP systems to external systems like XYZ. It outlines the options to either develop ("make") the integration using SAP middleware like PI/PRO/BPM/HCI or to purchase ("buy") pre-defined standard interfaces. It argues that the trend is moving towards more standardized and pre-built integration content that reduces the need for custom ("homegrown") integrations. This will see the percentage of integration work using standard SAP, partner or customer-standard content increase over time.
