Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
The SAP Business Technology Platform combines four key areas:
-

Development, extension, and automation of business processes – low-code, pro-code or citizen developer. -
Data & Analytics
Intelligent use of data with SAP HANA Cloud, SAP Datasphere, SAP Analytics Cloud and AI-powered services. -
Integration
Seamless connection of SAP and third-party applications with the SAP Integration Suite and more than 3,000 connectors. -

-
The four core areas of SAP BTP are:
-
Application Development & Automation
-
Integration (SAP Integration Suite)
-
Data & Analytics (e.g., SAP HANA Cloud, SAP Datasphere)
-
Artificial Intelligence & Automation (e.g., Document Information Extraction, RPA)
-
SAP BTP is a cloud-first platform, but it is also used for hybrid scenarios. On-premise systems such as SAP ECC or S/4HANA Private Cloud can be connected and extended via BTP.
SAP BTP is suitable for companies of all sizes, from medium-sized businesses to large corporations. The platform is particularly valuable for companies that want to introduce or expand SAP S/4HANA, implement cloud strategies, or integrate existing SAP and non-SAP systems.
Developers can use tools such as SAP Business Application Studio, SAP Build Apps (low-code), CAP (Cloud Application Programming Model), Fiori Elements, BTP CLI, GitHub integrations and more, depending on their requirements.
The SAP Integration Suite is a central component of SAP BTP and offers preconfigured connectors, APIs and integration flows to connect SAP and third-party applications—both on-premises and in the cloud.
For medium-sized companies, the low-code/no-code tools (SAP Build), the Integration Suite, workflow automation and analytics functions are particularly valuable, as they deliver real added value quickly without high entry barriers.
SAP BTP is offered on a pay-as-you-go basis or via subscriptions. The exact costs depend on the scope of use (e.g., storage, users, services) and the type of contract. We would be happy to advise you individually on this.
