Business partners who use the usage type Process Integration (PI) can exchange messages between their system landscapes.
If both business partners use PI then you can connect the two Integration Servers to exchange data. See also: Integrating PI Business Partners.
A PI Integration Server can also send and receive SAP XI 2.0 messages. Therefore, it is also possible to integrate business partners who use SAP XI 2.0. See also: Integrating SAP XI 2.0 Business Partners.
Small business partners who do not use PI can use the Partner Connectivity Kit (PCK) to exchange messages with the system landscape of a business partner who uses PI. See also: Integrating Smaller Business Partners with the PCK.
Business partners do not necessarily have to be two different companies; they could also be two independent IT areas within a single company.
