The Cloud ERP is supported by the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP), which provides a foundation where the integrations and extensions that enable customers to differentiate their businesses live.
Some services that run on SAP Business Technology Platform are already included in the GROW and RISE with SAP packages. In addition, customers can tap into the expansive library of free integration packages and extension templates available on the SAP Business Accelerator Hub, and only need to pay for the service that's necessary to run the integration or extension on SAP BTP.
SAP Business Technology Platform has services that cover application development, automation, integration, artificial intelligence, and data and analytics. All services are listed in the SAP Discovery Center.
Example of SAP Build Process Automation running on BTP
If a customer wants to automate the process of creating and approving business partners in their SAP S/4HANA Cloud (public or private) system, a developer can find and consume the Business Partner Creation Approval Process template that runs on SAP Build Process Automation.
It's important to check to additional licenses provided through GROW or RISE with SAP as in some packages, the customer may already receive several licenses to tools like SAP Build Process Automation.
Example of 3rd Party Solution Running on BTP and SAP Integration Suite
If a customer is using an SAP-certified 3rd party industry cloud solution to protect their brand identity and products from being counterfeited (e.g. Morpheus.Network Brand Protection), they also likely want to consume data generated from that application back into SAP S/4HANA Cloud for reporting and analytical purposes.
To address this requirement, a developer from the customer organization can use the integration package, Data Ingestion for Industry Cloud Solutions Integration with SAP S/4HANA. There is no cost to use the package, but there is a cost for the industry solution app, and if the customer doesn't already have a license for the SAP Integration Suite, there will be an additional cost to subscribe to the service to run the integration package.
