For CRM Functional Consultant interaction of the CRM system with other SAP and Non-SAP system is a major issue. The consultant takes care of all the details and suggests the possible Integration Technology with the help of a technical consultant. This depends on the CRM scenario as what data ( master, customizing, transaction) you want to transfer to the system.

All these basically falls under the different integration technologies.

Thanks,

Samantak.
