Given that Interactive Forms by Adobe are embedded within SAP, how might you go about building forms which involve other applications, or maybe totally non-SAP?
We used FLM at a large utilities company to build a purchase requisition POC form that had a 3 level workflow approval mechanism and posted an actual requisition into SAP in a managed way; when the form is first launched it collects data from 3 systems, 2 SAP systems and 1 SQL-database non-SAP system in order to do the pre-population on the form and to drive the form workflow. With FLM we achieved the whole thing in 3.5 days, including installing the FLM software and training 2 customer staff to use the Adobe designer tool and FLM. So non-SAP systems can be brought into the mix quite easily – any mechanism that SAP itself supports to receive or distribute data from other systems [IDoc, SM59, file, EDI, BAPI, native SQL etc] can be utilised by FLM to make data available to/from forms.
