Summarizing Key Products of SAP Business Technology Platform

An organization utilizes a range of SAP software, primarily cloud-based, within its intelligent, sustainable enterprise. There is an intention to adapt UI screens, expand existing SAPUI5 apps with APIs, and run a personalized development app on SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP), with the goal of enhancing the digital experience for employees.

Additionally, the organization encompasses a variety of business processes, procedures, and tasks, with varying degrees of automation. To further improve process automation and reduce manual tasks, SAP Build Process Automation is being considered. This tool allows business process experts, transformed into citizen developers through no-code user experiences, to implement automation.

As the market shifts toward SaaS solutions, traditional software modification, as seen with older on-premise systems, is no longer feasible. SAP recommends maintaining the core software clean in on-premise systems and promoting extensions over modifications. This shift requires the adoption of new approaches to custom development and software portfolio extensions within the enterprise.

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

SAP provides 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 wide array of tools enables the creation of a unified user experience for end-users.

For organizations aiming to automate their 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.

Companies need 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. Companies want to analyze or aggregate their data to get insights that can contribute to better planning. They need a data warehousing solution and an analytics solution for building dashboards, telling stories, and getting deeper insights.

SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) provides one persistence strategy for all data-driven innovations to turn data into value. In an enterprise, there are several spaces where data is stored. In addition to this, there are use cases where database capabilities are needed. But all data has no value when not stored, integrated, modeled, shared and analyzed properly. SAP BTP 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 like SAP HANA Cloud, data lake, SAP Datasphere, and SAP Analytics Cloud.

Utilizing capabilities increases the chances for growth and adaption of an enterprise through better analytics and enterprise planning based on good integration, preparation and modeling of data with Databases and Data Management solutions from SAP.

To better understand how SAP HANA Cloud contributes to the data-to-value strategy within SAP BTP, let’s take a closer look at its role inside and beside SAP Business Data Cloud:

Through these roles, SAP HANA Cloud not only powers the core functions of SAP BDC but also extends its capabilities, ensuring high performance, flexible integration, and advanced analytics across distributed enterprise data landscapes.

This dual role makes SAP HANA Cloud a cornerstone of SAP’s data strategy – both as a foundation for SAP BDC and as a flexible platform for future innovations.
