What Simplement does

Simplement, Inc. is a privately held Independent Software Vendor founded in 1998 that focuses exclusively on extracting and replicating data from SAP enterprise systems. Its flagship product, Roundhouse, is a SAP Certified platform that streams real-time data from SAP ECC, S/4HANA, and RISE environments through the SAP application layer (not direct database access) to a broad set of downstream targets including Snowflake, Microsoft Fabric, Databricks, Power BI, Azure Data Lake Storage, Amazon S3, and several relational databases. The platform is designed to eliminate the need for ABAP development or SAP BW, supporting use cases in Finance (ACDOCA, GL, AP, AR), Sales and Distribution (order status, on-time delivery, sales profitability, product rationalization), and Supply Chain (inventory, MRP). It is also fully compliant with SAP Note 3255746, which restricts third-party use of ODP/ODQ interfaces used by competing replication tools.

The company serves large enterprise customers, claiming Fortune Global 100 references and logo customers such as Rio Tinto, Howmet Aerospace, Safran Labinal, Dairy Farmers of America, Albany International, Kimball International, Bob's Discount Furniture, The Charles Machine Works, Kingspan, LifeNet Health, PSEG Long Island, and Ditch Witch. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales with a layered partner network spanning technology partners (SAP, Microsoft, Databricks, Snowflake), integration specialists (Full Data, Comp-pros covering APAC), an exclusive Spain distributor (MyCloudDoor), and an Azure Marketplace listing.

Revenue is generated primarily through enterprise subscription licensing for Roundhouse plus professional services for training and support, with annual billing on a quote-based model. The product set is anchored by Roundhouse (and its predecessor Data Liberator) and supplemented by a growing library of pre-built Smart Start Power BI templates that accelerate time-to-value across functional reporting areas. Operations are supported by a small team (1-10 employees) and an extensive partner network, with corporate references to San Jose, California alongside a registered address in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Direct peers

• Theobald Software: Specialist in SAP data extraction with products like ERPConnect and Xtract IS that move SAP ECC/S/4HANA data into downstream tools. Directly competes with Simplement in the SAP-native CDC niche, with similar target customers and overlap in Snowflake, Power BI, and SQL Server destinations.
• SNP CrystalBridge: Provides SAP data replication and migration tools used by enterprises undergoing S/4HANA transformations. Overlaps with Simplement on real-time SAP data extraction and BW-replacement use cases for enterprise SAP customers.
• Magnitude (Simba): Offers Simba SAP HANA ODBC/JDBC drivers and data connectivity for enterprise analytics. Competes in the SAP-to-analytics integration layer and shares the SAP data delivery to BI/data warehouse use case.

Broad incumbents

• SAP SE (Datasphere / Analytics Cloud): The platform vendor itself offers native data movement (SAP Datasphere, HANA Cloud) and analytics (SAP Analytics Cloud) that compete with Roundhouse. SAP can change application-layer access or bundle native alternatives that pressure third-party tools.
• Informatica: Large enterprise data integration and ETL vendor with broad SAP connectivity, cloud data warehouse, and master data management offerings. Competes for SAP-to-analytics integration budget across enterprise customers.
• Microsoft (Fabric / SSIS / Azure Data Factory): Provides Microsoft Fabric, Azure Data Factory, and SSIS for data integration and movement. Microsoft is also a strategic partner of Simplement, but its native CDC and data pipeline capabilities compete with Roundhouse for SAP workloads.
• Qlik: Analytics and data integration vendor with SAP connectivity options and a broad enterprise BI platform. Competes indirectly for SAP customer analytics and reporting budgets where customers choose a bundled vendor.
• Alteryx: Provides data preparation, ETL, and analytics automation used by enterprise SAP customers to move and transform data into BI tools. Competes in the broader data integration budget for SAP modernization initiatives.

Others

• Databricks: Lakehouse platform and partner of Simplement via the Delta Lake connector, but also offers native DLT and CDC capabilities. Functions as both collaboration partner and potential upstream competitor in SAP-to-lakehouse workflows.
• Snowflake: Cloud data warehouse partner of Simplement for SAP data delivery, but also offers Snowpipe and native connectors that overlap with Roundhouse's SAP-to-Snowflake workflow. Functions as both channel partner and adjacent competitor.
