Discover how the scalable sysHUB solution can help your organisation take full workflow control and streamline processes to save time and minimise errors. Due to its modular design, sysHUB can be used for a single, simple process, but also scales to handle a multitude of business-critical document management processes.

The orchestration layer of the Canon Information Orchestration Framework

Canon organises information management in four movements: Capture, Content, Communicate and Process. uniFLOW sysHUB is the orchestration engine of the Process layer: it connects the other three with your systems of record and enforces rules, approvals and logging at every step.

Systems of record are protected, not replaced. AI agents connect through MCP and may advise or request actions; sysHUB executes them, under control.

Identify and remove process inefficiencies

Do you know where your document processes lose time and money, and what happens when a step fails? sysHUB checks, measures and validates every stage, so document digitisation and communication are no longer an afterthought.

Integrate SAP, ERP and legacy systems without disruption

sysHUB connects SAP®, ERP, cloud, print and legacy systems through one integration platform, without disrupting what already works. Its SAP-certified integration covers SAP S/4HANA®, S/4HANA® Cloud and SAP® BTP, and a documented REST API links DMS, CRM and ERP.

Single point of control for every workflow

Monitor, track and manage every workflow, job and device in real time from one interface. Built-in failover, automated error handling and role-based access keep high-volume processes reliable and audit-ready.

Print and output management as a native workflow step

Developed by NT-ware, the Canon company behind uniFLOW, sysHUB treats print and output as part of the workflow, not an add-on. Print directly to IPP-enabled or PRISMAsync devices, or hand off to an output management platform.

A Canon product, deployed where you choose

sysHUB is developed by German Canon company NT-ware. Java-based and container-ready, it runs on-premises, in a private cloud or hybrid, so your data stays in your own infrastructure.

Connect AI and business applications through MCP

Through an MCP (Model Context Protocol) connection on the sysHUB REST API, Canon IMS makes your sysHUB workflows available to AI assistants and agents. They can start a process, check its status or retrieve a document, while sysHUB applies the same rules, approvals and logging as to any other request and connects the result to SAP, ERP, CRM and DMS. AI gets access to your business applications without uncontrolled access to your systems of record.

Key benefits

Flexible process automation: Automate document processes to your needs and cut the time and errors of manual work.

Single point of control: End-to-end insight into every step of your document processes, in one platform.

Where it fits

sysHUB is our choice where a process revolves around documents: data from SAP, ERP or legacy systems that must become a document, be checked, printed or sent, and stay traceable. For connecting cloud applications, Workato may fit better. We propose what fits your process, not what we happen to sell.

“We’re now achieving both a much more effective production process and very high quality. We can provide a distinctive customer experience in terms of both logistics and content.”

Does sysHUB integrate with SAP and our other systems?

Yes. It has an SAP-certified integration for SAP S/4HANA, S/4HANA Cloud and SAP BTP, plus connectors, modules and a Swagger-documented REST API for ERP, DMS, CRM, cloud, print and legacy systems.

Can AI assistants and agents use sysHUB through MCP?

Yes. Canon IMS connects sysHUB to AI assistants and agents through an MCP (Model Context Protocol) connection on the sysHUB REST API. AI can start processes, check their status and retrieve documents, while sysHUB enforces rules, approvals and logging and handles the connection to SAP, ERP, CRM and DMS.

Where does sysHUB run, and where does our data stay?
