Many organizations use legacy systems for processing data and having dependency on each others. So it is almost impractical to even think of removing those systems. Large amount of crucial data is processed by these systems in traditional ways. In SAP systems Intermediate Documents (IDOCs), Business API's (BAPI) are standard mode of data exchange. Non-SAP systems also use numerous proprietary approaches to share information and altering these systems is more complex. To handle with such complexities SAP introduced Process Integration (PI) a platform to provide a single point of integration for all systems without touching existing complex network of legacy systems.
SAP Process Integration (SAP PI) formerly called SAP Exchange Infrastructure (SAP XI) is an integration platform to provide a single point of integration for all systems. This is a powerful middleware by SAP to provide seamless end to end integration between SAP and Non-SAP applications inside and outside the corporate boundary.
SAP PI supports B2B (Business to Business) as well as A2A (Application to Application) exchanges, supports Synchronous and Asynchronous message exchange and includes a built in engine for designing and executing Integration Processes.
Our Business Process Integration Methodology enables organization do B2B (Business to Business), A2A (Application to Application) as well as Synchronous and Asynchronous message exchange efficiently to reach business goals.

The SAP NetWeaver usage type PI incorporates all functions that were previously a part of SAP Exchange Infrastructure (SAP XI).
