Where the middleware defaults come from: procurement data published by Vendr puts the median MuleSoft contract at $69,420 per year across 70 purchases, and the median Boomi contract at $45,147 per year across 143 purchases — roughly $135,000 to $208,000 over three years, licence only, before implementation. The $165,000 default sits between the two medians. Replace any figure with your own quote and the model recalculates. Figures as published August 2026.

What this model assumes
- Two to four production interfaces between SAP ECC or S/4HANA and external systems.
- An SAP landscape already licensed and running — no SAP-side licence cost on either side.
- Middleware figures use list pricing before volume discount; your negotiated rate will be lower.
- CGR is a perpetual or subscription license with annual support; middleware is modelled as a three-year subscription.
- Internal team cost counts your own staff only, not partner day rates already in implementation labour.
