My Organization is preparing for the installation of Ariba and we are preparing to create the mater data files. We've been told that we need to use the Ariba Integration Toolkit to automate the integration of the master data files to ariba. This toolkit is not a desired approach by our organization since we will need to support another tool and we need to go through a lot of hoops to open up a port in the firewall. We will be using all of the web services available to integrate, but not all of the mater data items we need to automate are included as a web service.
Has anyone integrated with Ariba not using the Integration Toolkit?
