SAP Business Technology
Platform (BTP)
Accelerate Business Innovation
SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) is a comprehensive suite of tools and services that enables businesses to integrate, develop, and innovate with data and enterprise applications. It provides a range of capabilities for cloud, analytics, AI, IoT, and database management, and is particularly relevant for SAP development and customization.
Key Components
When focusing on technical developments within the SAP BTP Suite, there are several key components to consider:
- Custom Application Development: BTP provides tools to build custom applications that integrate with core SAP systems like S/4HANA. Developers can use:
- SAP Business Application Studio: A cloud-based development environment for building Fiori applications and full-stack solutions.
- SAP Web IDE: A browser-based integrated development environment for developing SAP UI5 and Fiori applications.
- CAP (Cloud Application Programming) Model: A framework for building cloud applications and services using Node.js or Java.
- APIs and Integrations: Developers can access a wide range of APIs via the SAP API Business Hub to extend or integrate SAP applications.
- Fiori Elements and SAP UI5: The BTP suite allows the development of responsive and enterprise-grade UI applications using the SAP Fiori design system and the UI5 framework.
- Integration Flow Design: Enables the design of integration flows using SAP Cloud Integration to connect cloud, on-premise, and third-party applications.
- API Management: Provides a platform for managing, developing, and securing APIs across the SAP landscape.
- Event Mesh: A scalable event-driven architecture for distributed applications, allowing developers to build reactive systems.
- SAP HANA Cloud: A database as a service platform that offers high-performance in-memory computing for running advanced analytics.
- SAP Data Intelligence: Provides a framework for data integration, orchestration, and governance across diverse data sources.
- SAP Analytics Cloud: Embedded analytics that allow the development of predictive, planning, and reporting applications.
- SAP AI Core and AI Foundation: A set of tools and services for developing and running AI/ML models. Developers can train, deploy, and operationalize machine learning models within the BTP ecosystem.
- Pre-trained AI Models: SAP BTP provides pre-trained models, such as those for document processing, business process automation, and customer sentiment analysis.
- CI/CD Pipelines: Using SAP’s DevOps tooling, developers can set up continuous integration and deployment pipelines.
- Git Integration: Supports version control for development projects, allowing teams to collaborate effectively.
- SAP Cloud Transport Management: Helps manage the lifecycle of applications and custom developments across different environments.
- SAP Identity Authentication and Provisioning Services: Manages user identities and provides single sign-on (SSO) capabilities for secure access to BTP services.
- Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC): Ensures security by defining fine-grained access to applications and data within the BTP landscape.
- A key tool in BTP for creating and customizing mobile applications that integrate with SAP systems, ensuring apps work across different platforms (iOS, Android).
