What is SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP)?

SAP BTP is built on five core technology pillars designed to help you transform your organization:

1-Application Development

Quickly create custom applications tailored to your business using low-code/no-code tools or pro-code frameworks for experienced developers. 

2-Intelligent Automation

Free your teams from repetitive tasks with technologies like Robotic Process Automation (RPA).  

  • Example: Automatically create customer orders from Excel files or emails. 
3-System Integration

Connect both SAP and non-SAP systems to eliminate silos and streamline workflows.  

  • Example: Connect Salesforce to SAP S/4HANA for efficient Lead-to-Order processes. 
4-Data & Analytics

Make informed decisions using advanced analytics tools and real-time consolidated data.  

  • Example: Use predictive analytics to identify supply chain optimization opportunities. 
5-Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning

Integrate AI-driven solutions to forecast, personalize, and optimize your operations.  

  • Example: Use AI to predict critical equipment failures and reduce downtime. 

Why it matters

SAP BTP doesn’t just extend your existing ERP—it enables you to become an intelligent, agile enterprise through applications tailored to your business goals.
