These more than 90 services each time, from development to use, are independent of the SAP’s internal development process and efficiency.Then why SAP BTP? Let’s imagine what will happen if without SAP BTP, just only 90+ standalone services. You can easily categorize these services on SAP’s official discovery center and I recommend this blog post which gave a very nice infographic for the 90+ services.Īs mentioned, SAP BTP has no direct value to customers. Thse services will cover data and analytics, integration and app development, machine learning and AI technologies. We know as a platform, SAP BTP itself has no value, while the 90+ services on the top are the key factors for real enterprise daily usage. So far, SAP BTP has elvovled with a very stable architecture and it is easy to extend, from both customer and SAP perspective. This somehow reflects SAP’s strategy change due to fast digital world growing. AWS, Azure, GCP or Alicloud and we call it “CF” (short for Cloud Foundry) as the current version. Right now SAP has shifted this level to partners i.e. However, SAP is not a pure technology company, while it thrives on real industry business process so the name was finally changed to SAP Business Technology Platform, which indicates SAP BTP is targeted for business requirement, leveraging various technologies, including open source ones of course.Īt first, SAP provided infrastructure level and we call it “NEO” as the historical version. The idea was to provide a platform which was not only related to SAP HANA but with other open source technologies and services, e.g. ![]() SAP BTP was called SAP HANA Cloud Platform in the beginning and later the name was changed SAP Cloud Platform (SCP). ![]() Today I want to leverage my former experience as a developer in SAP IT (they heavily rely on SAP BTP on software development, e.g SAP for Me is developed on SAP BTP and SAP Support Launchpad was one of the earliest “customers” of SAP BTP) and recent customer engagement experience, trying to give a simple holistic view of SAP BTP architecture. I’ve found out still some new customers are curious about SAP BTP (Business Technology Platform) architecture.
