Rebranding Information

Throughout the text and the figures, rebranding references shall be understood as follows:

All existing SAP Cloud Platform services are/are being renamed with the ‘SAP’ branding. On the product level, the SAP Cloud Platform services are organized into two suites, renamed to: SAP Integration Suite and SAP Extension Suite.

Background

SAP Cloud Platform evolves

Our cloud platform is one of the core pillars powering SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) and has become a key element within our broader platform offering, rather than a stand-alone offering. Its strong integration and extension capabilities are now available as services that run on SAP BTP. These capabilities are now called SAP Integration Suite and SAP Extension Suite.

Application development and integration

Application development and integration capabilities, previously available in SAP Cloud Platform, are now cloud services that run on SAP BTP – providing users with a cloud environment to develop, manage, extend, and deliver applications.

Enterprise application integration

SAP Integration Suite, an integration platform as a service (iPaaS), enables users to implement data, application, API, and process integration projects involving any combination of cloud-resident and on-premise end points.

Application development and extensions

SAP Extension Suite services can help you build and enhance your solutions, optimize your business processes, and create an engaging digital experience. With more than 80 services available, SAP can help you boost development productivity and efficiency.

SAP Integration Suite and SAP Extension Suite are powering SAP Business Technology Platform

As a pivotal part of SAP’s Business Technology Platform portfolio, SAP Integration Suite and SAP Extension Suite are the integration, extension, and innovative building of business applications with agility, flexibility, and choice, formerly known as SAP Cloud Platform Integration and SAP Cloud Platform . It lets customers integrate, extend, and innovate their data, processes, and apps, and enables partners to bring unlimited innovation to the ecosystem:

SAP Integration Suite
Provides ready-built integration technology and content for SAP and non-SAP, for cloud and hybrid architectures, which help our customers to integrate everything, everywhere, by supporting a wide variety of synergic integration approaches.
SAP Extension Suite
Provides an cohesive set of services and tools to create and run processes and applications that integrate easily and securely with any SAP system, helping developers and process experts to be efficient, and to create the best possible digital experiences across all channels.
Multicloud Readiness
While the SAP Integration & Extension Suites focus on solving dedicated business needs, the underlying foundation offers a secure, multicloud, future-proof underpinning that embraces all major hyper-scaler infrastructures and cloud-based, native technologies.

Frequently asked Questions

What is happening with the SAP Cloud Platform brand?

We are removing SAP Cloud Platform as a brand name. However, the technical capabilities of SAP Cloud Platform will remain as important as ever. Concretely, this means the services under the former SAP Cloud Platform brand continue to exist, just without "Cloud Platform" in the name. For example, "SAP Workflow Management" and "SAP Enterprise Messaging."

How does cloud platform align with SAP Business Technology Platform?

As SAP Business Technology Platform has progressed, we have found it better for our customers to align our integration and extension capabilities to one platform. Our integration and extension capabilities are key to powering SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP). These capabilities, along with database and data management, analytics, and intelligent technologies, are critically important components of our holistic platform that complement SAP and third-party applications to deliver agile and comprehensive digital transformation in the cloud.

What happens to our existing customers that are using SAP Cloud Platform?

We are sunsetting SAP Cloud Platform as a brand name; however, the integration and extension capabilities of SAP Cloud Platform will continue to be available as products and services under SAP Integration Suite and SAP Extension Suite. The functionality for our customers will remain unchanged. What customers will notice will be the changes in the service wherever the brand name "SAP Cloud Platform" is currently being referred to.

What is the impact on SAP Cloud Platform Trial and SAP Cloud Platform Cockpit?

Going forward, the trial will be renamed SAP BTP trial and the cockpit will be renamed SAP BTP cockpit. There is no change in capabilities or user experience in the trial and the cockpit.
