What is SAP BTP?
SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) is a modular Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) , on which companies can develop their own applications, extend existing SAP systems, or connect various data sources with one another. It forms the technological foundation for modern SAP solutions such as S/4HANA, SuccessFactors, Ariba, SAP Analytics Cloud and many more.
It brings together four core technologies under one roof, enabling companies to develop, integrate, extend, analyze, and automate applications. The modular components can be flexibly combined, allowing the SAP landscape to evolve intelligently and future-proof – without modifying the SAP standard.
The four core areas of SAP BTP
Application Development and Automation
The first area is application development and automation. SAP BTP provides powerful tools for this purpose – from low-code/no-code solutions such as SAP Build for business departments to modern development models such as RAP (ABAP RESTful) and CAP (Cloud Application Programming Model) for professional developers. The portfolio is complemented by workflow management and RPA to efficiently automate processes and implement them in a cloud-compliant manner.
SAP
Integration Suite
The second area is integration. With the SAP Integration Suite, BTP provides powerful tools to seamlessly connect SAP and non-SAP systems, regardless of whether they are operated on-premise or in the cloud.
Data Management
and Analytics
The third area is data management and analytics. With solutions such as SAP Datasphere, SAP HANA Cloud, and SAP Analytics Cloud, BTP enables organizations to centrally collect data, intelligently link it, and analyze it in real time. The objective is to promote data-driven decision-making and support self-service analytics and integrated reporting within business departments.
Artificial
Intelligence (AI)
The fourth area is dedicated to artificial intelligence and machine learning. SAP BTP provides both pre-trained services (e.g., for document recognition or ticket classification) and tools for developing and managing proprietary AI models.
To what extent do your data already contribute to value creation?
Modern companies rely on end-to-end integrated processes to fully leverage the potential of their data from internal and external sources.
The central challenge is to break down isolated data silos and make information available across systems – both within individual software solutions and beyond company boundaries. Only in this way can integrated processes be mapped holistically.
The added value is clear:
By flexibly extending your IT landscape – including the development of your own application scenarios – you reduce redundant data movements and lower your long-term total cost of ownership (TCO).
In addition, preconfigured solution approaches (“missions”) enable simplified redesign of your business processes and help transform data efficiently into measurable business value.
