Have you already started your digital transformation? Or you are still at the very beginning? Have you already implemented SAP S/4HANA Cloud, but not yet heard of the Business Technology Platform? No matter what point you’re at in your journey, it’s worth revisiting why digital transformation is so important. And especially why the SAP S/4HANA Cloud and the Business Technology Platform (BTP) absolutely belong together.
That’s why we present 5 reasons why the SAP S/4HANA Cloud needs the BTP.
First, however, a brief introduction to the two solutions for those who do not yet speak the SAP language. SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud is the most advanced cloud ERP solution on the market, with state-of-the-art database technology (HANA), a modern, intuitive user interface, the latest workflows and automation technologies, and a complete process map. With the help of the Business Technology Platform (BTP), which can (and should) be part of S/4HANA, the key stakeholders in a project are given a tool with which they can develop their individual innovations based on the cloud ERP processes and integrate them into the ERP system. This enables companies to stand out from their competitors through innovative functions with the latest IT technologies.
So how do the two go together, and how can this be used to its full potential?
1 – S/4HANA Cloud enhancements
SAP BTP enables the extension of SAP S/4HANA Cloud with many components, so that customers can differentiate themselves from their competitors. Extensions are possible in User Interface, User Integration, Rules & Workflow Integration, Process Integration, Events Integration and Data Integration (list not complete).
2 – 360 ° Insights on only one analytics platform
Data is becoming more and more important these days. So, it is essential for an organization to have a complete data analytics platform. A platform that combines business intelligence, analytics, forecasting and planning capabilities. A company can gain all important business insights and create a decisive competitive advantage.
3 – Acceleration with a “Clean Core
With BTP’s innovations and automation solutions, companies always stay up to date and can withstand rapid change. With the new low-code/no-code tools and other scenarios, innovation is faster and easier than ever before and possible for any company.
4 – Seamless integration
When SAP S/4HANA is used with the BTP, applications can be seamlessly integrated into the existing landscape. Data and process integration for SAP software and non-SAP software is simplified on SAP Integration Suite.
5 – Automation
Thanks to ready-made automations, SAP S/4HANA cloud processes are automated. Automation is simple and fast using a drag-and-drop tool and pre-built, industry-specific content.
