SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) provides the foundation by bringing together data and analytics, AI, application development, automation, and integration in one unified environment. SAP BTP with its integration and extension capabilities is the enabler of a clean core.
Note
According to a recent IDC analysis, SAP's customers reported that SAP BTP had made their use of SAP and other technology more impactful, innovative, and beneficial. During the RISE transformation journey, our customers experienced substantial value by using SAP BTP in their upgrade to SAP S/4HANA Cloud, achieving a 514% ROI and 8 months to reach payback on their BTP investment. Using BTP also led to an 87% increase in productivity for development teams. (The Business Value of using SAP BTP with SAP S/4HANA Cloud)
The SAP CMI organization's findings further underscore the value of integrating SAP BTP into our solutions. They concluded that the win rate for RISE deals rose by 20 percentage points when SAP BTP solutions were included in the final bill of materials. Therefore, there's a strong justification for including BTP in every RISE deal, increasing both the customer satisfaction during the transformation, as well as our internal win rate.
The value SAP BTP provides can be categorizes across four areas:
Accelerate a move to the cloud | Faster data migration, consolidated master data, and reduce risk with end-to-end functional, security, and performance testing:
