What is the SAP Business Technology Platform?
The SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) is SAP’s portfolio of cloud services. It brings together multiple SAP applications and solutions into a single platform that can run in any cloud or hybrid environment. SAP BTP also consists of hundreds of services — from API Management to Robotic Process Automation to Process Excellence — and significant pre-built content.
Starting with the SAP Cloud Platform, SAP BTP combines technologies to create a more comprehensive solution. This combination of technologies deliver pre-built integration and are key to the value that SAP BTP offers.
Key capabilities include:
- Database and data management
- Analytics
- Application development and integration

Key Considerations for SAPinsiders
- An overview of the SAP Business Technology Platform. Dave Maloney, SAP’s North American VP for the Business Technology Platform, outlines the solution and why it is important. More than just a wrapper around a list of different technologies, Maloney says the SAP BTP offers content, consistency, and continuity. It also makes the move to the cloud far less risky, Maloney explains, and improves total cost of ownership. Watch the short video and learn more about SAP BTP.
- Business centricity, completeness, and openness are what makes SAP BTP unique. Dan Kearnan, SAP’s Senior Director of Product Marketing, explains that the SAP Business Technology Platform helps address customer challenges by being an integrated portfolio of technologies. But what makes it unique is the business centricity of the offering, the completeness of the portfolio, and the open architecture that exists. Kearnan’s complete interview covers current technology shifts, current challenges, solutions included, and these unique differentiators of SAP BTP.
- Explore how SAP BTP supports a multi-cloud strategy. One of SAP’s key statements about the SAP Business Technology Platform is that it can run in any cloud or hybrid environment. Turning that marketing message into reality can be accomplished though, as James Wood, Principal Consulting of Bowdark Consulting, points out. And it’s done using the openness that Kearnan listed as one of the things that makes SAP BTP unique. In his article on embracing a multi-cloud strategy with SAP BTP, Wood explores the solution, running it on hyperscalers, and using Cloud Foundry and Kyma. He believes that we are now “able to witness the culmination of a multi-year journey towards openness.” This is worth exploring for your own cloud strategy.

Workflow Extensions With SAP Business Technology Platform — Your Highway to the CloudJul 30, 2021 — It is fascinating to witness the differences between how organizations handle workflows within their business processes and business process management operations. One organization may have a straightforward process with standard use cases and related business applications. Another organization may handle workflows very differently related to how they manage activities and the individuals contributing to the successful handling of a purchase order, a sales order, supplier quotation, leave request, general journal entry, or change of business partner data.
The list of use cases is potentially endless. And let’s not forget the possibility that the systems used by each organization can vary widely, too.
The truth is that these differences present exciting opportunities. At the same time, differences can be concerning when you think about digitization. In this article, explore how to view digitization challenges as opportunities, especially when dealing with workflows in hybrid environments.
Read this article and learn:
- How to centrally manage different applications with various local workflows;
- How to combine the capabilities of SAP Workflow so that organizations can build holistic workflow-based applications and allow citizen developers to drive extension use cases or new processes of their own;
- The approach to achieve “side-by-side” workflow extensibility in order to extend independently of the application, outside the system in one central place for everything without disruption to the digital core;
- About the configurations in SAP S/4HANA or your SAP ERP system to easily create a visibility scenario.
