Based on open standards, SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) offers complete flexibility and control over your choice of hyperscalers, frameworks, and applications.
SAP BTP supports various use cases essential for the intelligent enterprise. Apply SAP BTP’s capabilities throughout your transition to the cloud and beyond in areas such as data migration, application extension, integration, and system consolidation.
- Accelerate the Move to the Cloud
SAP BTP facilitates an efficient transition to cloud infrastructure. It enables businesses to migrate data from on-premise systems to the cloud while ensuring minimal disruption to operations. Also, it supports application modernization by allowing existing applications to be enhanced or extended with cloud-native technologies. Its robust integration tools ensure that different systems and data sources can seamlessly communicate, reducing complexity and improving overall system efficiency. Whether consolidating multiple systems into a unified platform or expanding capabilities with new features, SAP BTP provides the tools and frameworks needed to ease the move to the cloud.
- Optimize and automate business processes
Manual tasks and cross-application workflows can be automated using a broad set of predefined content. SAP BTP provides SAP Build Process Automation, a low-code tool designed to enable both business and process experts, as well as traditional and citizen developers, to create automated processes or extensions. Also, it offers automation for manual tasks using robotic automation technologies. These capabilities align with SAP BTP's core principles, which emphasize agility, efficiency, and the empowerment of business users. Working with the SAP Business Process Intelligence (BPI) portfolio, which includes tools like SAP Signavio Process Insights and Qualtrics Customer Insights, the platform allows for direct action based on insights from process or experience analyses. This approach supports continuous improvement and ensures that business processes align with organizational goals.
- Drive decisions based on data
Providing business users with timely information and AI-based recommendations can improve the efficiency and quality of decision-making. It is crucial for organizations to have a unified view of all their data assets to gain insights and make real-time decisions. However, data is often spread across multiple systems, making effective data management challenging. SAP BDC and SAP BTP offer tools and services to help integrate, consolidate, and manage data from various sources, ensuring consistent, high-quality, and accessible data. By using these tools, organizations can follow SAP BTP's principles to make informed business decisions. Analyzing and interpreting data accurately helps maintain high data quality and supports robust data management strategies. This approach aligns with SAP BTP's goals, facilitating strategic decision-making and promoting business agility and scalability.
- Keep the core clean
To maintain system stability and ease of upgrades, it is advisable to keep the core clean by adhering to Clean Core principles, which involve maintaining an up-to-date and cloud-compliant system. For on-premise solutions, returning to the default implementation can help achieve this goal. Create and operate highly integrated side-by-side solution extensions to individualize your business processes without harming the stable application core. Extensibility allows companies to build and enhance all their application investments to meet their dynamic needs and provide continual value. You can deliver new features agile and fast with SAP BTP as the underlying platform.
Note
The "Core" in Clean Core refers to the essential components of SAP S/4HANA Cloud, including processes, data, integration, operations, and extensibility. These components form the foundation of the system. "Clean" means that these core components are kept up-to-date, cloud-compliant, optimized, and well-governed. By combining these principles, the Clean Core approach ensures a robust and maintainable system, facilitating stability and ease of upgrades without disrupting core functionalities.
For a more in-depth understanding of the Clean Core principles and their implementation, consider exploring the dedicated course on Clean Core concepts.
- Deliver Personalized Experiences
Organizations need the ability to customize and personalize their business in order to differentiate themselves from the competition. To do so, SAP provides powerful application development tools to create innovative apps tailored to customer and business requirements. Organizations are empowered to extend business applications with customer-specific business logic and leverage the power of AI to accelerate development and automation.
- Connect Applications and Processes Across the Enterprise
Most organizations are straddled with a chaotic IT landscape of disconnected applications, processes, and technologies, leading to a lack of business agility and innovation. SAP BTP provides the integration capabilities that act as the connective tissue that brings all applications and processes together, ensuring seamless integration between SAP and third-party solutions. And with a wealth of prebuilt integrations and AI-assisted development, organizations can quickly achieve harmonized access to the enterprise.
