SAP BTP Decoded: 6 Key Insights for Beginners
SAP launched SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) as a comprehensive solution that serves as the technical backbone of the entire SAP ecosystem. In this blog, we’ll break down SAP BTP in a straightforward manner, focusing on its key aspects and benefits.
Let’s Dive In!
Imagine you’re a developer at an SAP partner or customer tasked with building a new cloud solution and expanding an existing SAP solution. Let’s explore what developers typically wish for in such scenarios and how SAP BTP addresses these needs.
Simplified Integration
Seamless integration capabilities are essential to minimize time spent on integration and system maintenance.
→ SAP BTP offers the “SAP Integration Suite,” a comprehensive set of services facilitating seamless integration of SAP and non-SAP systems and applications.
Focus on Business Logic
Developers prefer frameworks that allow them to concentrate on solving business challenges rather than dealing with technical intricacies.
→ SAP BTP introduces frameworks like “SAP Cloud Application Programming Model,” empowering developers to focus solely on business logic while the framework handles other aspects.
Platform Flexibility
You need a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that allows you to swiftly build and deploy cloud solutions without local installations, supporting various programming languages.
→ SAP BTP serves as a PaaS offering three environments: Cloud Foundry, ABAP, and Kyma. These environments enable you to choose from any programming language and effortlessly build and deploy cloud solutions.
Ready-Made Development Environment
Developers require a pre-configured development environment with all essential plugins for seamless coding.
→ SAP Business Application Studio is offering a ready-made development environment where you can start coding without the hassle of installing or configuring anything.
Simplified Build and Deployment
Efficient builds and deployments are crucial. Developers seek tools that streamline these processes.
→ SAP Business Application Studio in combination with MTA Build Tool (MBT) and BTP CLI, simplifies build and deployment tasks, eliminating unnecessary complexities.
Comprehensive Database Solutions
A robust Database-as-a-Service (DBaaS) is indispensable for storing and processing vast amounts of structured and unstructured data, providing real-time access.
→ SAP BTP offers SAP HANA Cloud, a cloud-native variant of SAP HANA database, catering to diverse data requirements in a single service.
In Summary for organizations aiming to build or extend cloud solutions with minimal effort, cost-effectiveness, and faster time-to-market, SAP BTP emerges as the ideal solution. It eliminates the need for extensive setup, installation, configuration, and maintenance, offering a portfolio of SAP solutions and services under one umbrella.
