Summarizing Key Products of SAP BTP

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to summarize key products of SAP BTP

Application Development

Your company utilizes various SAP software, majorly cloud-based, within your intelligent, sustainable enterprise. You intend to adapt UI screens, broaden existing SAPUI5 apps with APIs, and run a personalized development app on SAP BTP. You also aim to streamline your employees' digital experience.

Further, your company encompasses numerous business processes, procedures, and tasks, with varying levels of automation. To augment the process automation and reduce manual tasks, you are considering SAP Build Process Automation. Business process experts, transformed into citizen developers through no-code user experiences, can accomplish this automation.

As the market shifts towards SaaS solutions, you're unable to modify the software as with older on-premise systems. SAP even advises maintaining the core software clean in on-premise systems, promoting extensions over modifications. This necessitates adopting new methods of custom development and software portfolio extensions in your enterprise.

The app development capabilities of SAP BTP provide a portfolio of solutions that simplify the development of application extensions or custom applications. While optimized for SAP applications to augment their value, the platform is also compatible with third-party application extensions.

SAP also offers a comprehensive toolkit for both front-end and back-end developers, including professional development tools and mechanics for low or no-code development experiences. This diverse toolset empowers you to craft a unified user experience for your end-users.

Automation

If you're aiming to automate your business processes for increased agility or reduced manual tasks, SAP BTP's automation capabilities can be useful. These features allow easy building, swift automation, and agility enhancement using visual tools and pre-set content tailored for various industries.

But how is this related to hyperautomation?

Debuting in late 2019, hyperautomation is a strategy that organizations implement to promptly identify and automate as many processes as they can, using a range of tools and technology platforms, such as AI, machine learning, RPA, and business process management software. More precisely, hyperautomation centers on applying these cutting-edge technologies for expedited identification and automation of numerous business and IT processes.

Data and Analytics

Your company needs a reliable database with high performance for creating custom developments, managing data for analytic topics, and extending on-premise capabilities with capabilities of the cloud. SAP HANA is the main SAP offering for these use cases. Today, data is more important than ever. But even the best data gathered has no value if it isn't utilized.

At SAP, we refer to the process of deriving maximum value from your data as 'data-to-value'. Our combination of data and analytics capabilities is key to this process. You want to analyze or aggregate your data to get insights that can contribute to better planning. Your company needs a data warehousing solution and an analytics solution for building dashboards, telling stories, and getting deeper insights.

The SAP Business Technology Platform provides one persistence strategy for all data-driven innovations to turn data into value. In your enterprise you have several spaces where data is stored. In addition to this, you have use cases where you need database capabilities. But all data has no value when you don't store, integrate, model, share and analyze it properly. SAP Business Technology Platform has the right building blocks to tackle this topic with capabilities for data storing, data management, data warehousing and data analytics and enterprise planning mainly through SAP Business Data Cloud. Included are technologies as SAP HANA Cloud Date Lake, SAP Datasphere and SAP Analytics Cloud.

Start utilizing capabilities to achieve a value out of your data today. This will increase the chances for growth and adaption of your enterprise through better analytics and enterprise planning based on good integration, preparation and modeling of data with Databases and Data Management solutions from SAP.
