SAP BTP acts as a uniform, open and business-oriented technology basis for all SAP applications and forms the scalable foundation on which companies realize their digital business transformation in the cloud. It not only ensures user-friendly access to SAP cloud services, but also ensures that non-SAP applications can also be integrated and expanded.

Keep the core clean: Why you should realize custom developments on SAP BTP

SAP S/4HANA is changing the way in which companies realize customer-specific developments. Instead of extending the core system with custom code as before, the SAP S/4HANA core is to remain untouched in future. Additional functionalities and applications will be built as side-by-side extensions on SAP BTP and integrated via interfaces. This approach ensures the release capability of SAP S/4HANA and ensures maximum availability and flexibility.

The “Keep the core clean” concept plays an important role in a holistic digitalization strategy. By keeping the ERP core clean, companies benefit from the latest innovations in the shortest possible time and strengthen their competitiveness.

SAP Business Technology Platform offers a wide range of functionalities, technical services and business services that simplify the development and extension of applications and support users in the realization of side-by-side extensions. For example, SAP Build bundles various no-code/low-code tools that can be used to create and manage applications, automate business processes and organize team collaboration.

The integration of business processes improves data consistency and increases productivity. A high degree of automation boosts efficiency and minimizes human error. In addition, employees can focus more on value-adding activities as they are relieved of repetitive tasks.

Integrated and automated business processes are an essential part of intelligent enterprises, as they help to increase efficiency, improve collaboration and promote agility. This puts companies in a better position to respond to rapidly changing market conditions and customer requirements.

Data-driven decisions are based on a unified data landscape

Companies that are data-driven make their business decisions based on the insights they derive from their data. This requires the creation of a unified data landscape. This means bringing together the vast amounts of available data from different systems and making it available to users while retaining the business context. Self-service functionalities also make the business departments less dependent on IT when it comes to data modeling and analysis and save time.

A unified data landscape increases the efficiency, agility and competitiveness of companies by creating a reliable basis for data-driven decisions and innovations. Organizations are empowered to accelerate value creation from their data and optimize their decision-making.

SAP’s Data & Analytics portfolio, which is one of the main pillars of SAP Business Technology Platform, includes solutions for data management (e.g. SAP Datasphere) and analytics tools such as SAP Analytics Cloud. It provides the necessary technologies to realize a unified data landscape in the company. It also ensures easy access to innovative technologies such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. Companies are empowered to use data in real time, make informed decisions and take advantage of growth opportunities.

Flexible, time-saving, data-based: How modern corporate steering looks like

The rapid pace of change in today’s world makes it necessary for companies to adapt their management processes to the new framework conditions. Regulatory provisions such as the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) must also be taken into account. It is important to act flexibly and efficiently – especially in planning and forecasting, so that business decisions can be optimally supported. This is why agile approaches are increasingly being taken into account in planning and forecasting. The main aim is to enable the company to react to changes at short notice.

Even in a volatile world characterized by constant change, planning and forecasting remain central control mechanisms for corporate success. New approaches and innovative technologies help to continuously develop corporate steering and turn it into a competitive advantage.

The SAP approach for the integrated management of corporate performance is called “Extended Planning and Analysis (xP&A)” and aims to link strategic, financial and operational planning. SAP Analytics Cloud for Planning (SAC Planning) is a key tool for implementing xP&A. It has the necessary functionalities to combine data from different areas of the company, for example, in order to gain holistic insights and improve business performance with modern planning and analysis processes.
