Technology has become an indispensable tool for driving growth, efficiency and innovation in today’s modern world of business. From small startups to large corporations, every business relies heavily on technology to stay ahead of the competition. However, not all technology is created equal and having the right technology foundation can make all the difference.

According to Forrester Research, firms that are “Future Fit” – companies that have a flexible technology foundation and a business operating model that can change quickly – grow nearly three times faster than their industry average.

The SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) offers a single, integrated environment for application development, data analysis, integration and AI capabilities. Accelerate your innovation processes and confidently deploy SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud across AWS, Azure and GCP by leveraging SAP BTP.

This guide aims to provide a clear understanding of the benefits and opportunities that SAP BTP and the SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud Edition as a powerful combination can offer businesses.

What is SAP Business Technology Platform?

SAP BTP is an all-in-one platform that enables innovation and supports new business processes. It provides a unified environment for application development, data analytics, integration tools and machine learning.

Developers and business users can leverage its features to extend end-to-end business processes, automate tasks and collaborate on planning.

SAP BTP also offers prebuilt integrations and intelligent services to deliver solutions faster and with lower project risk. It runs on major cloud suppliers, including Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud.

SAP BTP and SAP S4HANA

Future-Proof Your SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud by leveraging Extensibility Features

When it comes to choosing between the public and private editions of SAP S/4HANA Cloud, many businesses are concerned about limitations on their ability to customize. While it is true that the public edition does limit customization of the core SAP S/4HANA solution, keeping a clean core system is essential for ensuring stable and reliable operations while being agile and innovative.

A clean core also helps to future-proof your business and remain competitive in a rapidly changing business environment.

This is where SAP BTP (Business Technology Platform) comes in. As a platform-as-a-service, SAP BTP provides a toolbox for both developers and business users to extend the capabilities of the core ERP system through –
  • Addition of Custom Fields
  • Creation of custom apps to extend business processes
  • Integration to other cloud or cloud services & much more
Leverage the capabilities of SAP BTP to expand your multi-tenant SaaS system to address customer-specific requirements. SAP BTP offers this advantages:

Agility with No-Code/Low-Code Environment

Quickly address your unique business needs by creating new apps and services in an agile manner. The platform’s no-code/low-code environment allows both developers and savvy business users to easily utilize the tools and accelerate the process of app creation.

Facilitate Clean Core and Customizations

SAP BTP offers an upgradable SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud Solution that enables businesses to easily adopt new features as compared to complex, customized ERP environments. This platform also ensures that any customizations or extensions are maintained outside the core system.

As a result, businesses can take advantage of new innovations without worrying about long upgrade cycles, ultimately leading to smoother and more efficient ERP upgrades.

Offers Personalized Experiences

SAP BTP is a comprehensive platform that offers everything businesses need to create personalized experiences that work instantly with their SAP applications. Digitize your unique business processes and enrich them with digital assistants, task automation and insights from data everywhere.

  • Get real-time, complete views of all your data, no matter where it resides, without having to move it

Build Fast to Grow Faster

SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) offers businesses a unique advantage by providing the ability to build faster with business context.

Unlike other platforms that require businesses to stitch together disparate technology pieces and build everything from scratch, SAP BTP allows for more agility and faster development.

SAP BTP allows businesses to innovate efficiently in the cloud without disrupting core business operations and applications. It enables the migration of existing and new SAP application customizations, data models and extractors to the cloud, simplifying maintenance and enhancing the reliability of SAP applications.

Additionally, businesses can work in their preferred strategic environment with an enterprise-grade platform that is managed by SAP and runs on top cloud providers like Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, or Google Cloud Platform.
