Unlocking the Enterprise Potential: SAP BTP’s Key Pillars

Exploring the benefits and featues of SAP BTP

In today’s environment, for any business to scale, it must be digitally forward. It has to be interconnected, intelligent, and sustainable – the definition of an intelligent enterprise.

An intelligent enterprise executes agile and integrated business processes. It leverages the latest technologies—including blockchain, AI, automation, Internet of Things (IoT), 5G, edge computing, and more. With the insight gained from the massive amount of data available inside and outside the enterprise, these technologies help comprehend what is happening, predict what may happen in the future, and suggest what you should do to stay ahead. Moreover, besides personalizing customer experience, intelligent enterprises offer an excellent employee experience.

SAP BTP for business transformation

SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) helps businesses transform into intelligent, sustainable enterprises. The platform offers comprehensive capabilities to set up an intelligent enterprise and prebuilt solutions and integrations for managing data, analytics, extensions, workflows, and dashboards.

For businesses, this means getting their hands on a robust, integrated platform that connects with every facet of the company. It helps leverage the power of data-driven insights, design intelligent applications, and adapt rapidly to changing market requirements.

Consider an example of a retail chain struggling with inventory management, customer engagement, and data integration across various platforms. SAP BTP can help by:

  • Sending the store alerts for low-stock items, enabling timely replenishment and preventing stockouts.
  • Enabling the marketing team to leverage customer purchase history to create tailored promotions.
  • Connecting the ERP, CRM, and e-commerce systems to ensure data consistency across all channels. This integration streamlines operations and enhances decision-making.
  • Providing real-time dashboards with key performance indicators (KPIs), helping executives monitor sales trends and make informed strategic decisions.

By leveraging SAP BTP, the retail chain achieves efficient inventory management, personalized customer experiences, and data-driven decision-making, significantly improving daily operations and overall business performance. Let’s understand the key pillars of SAP BTP crucial for increasing the platform’s potential and driving successful digital transformation.

Key Pillars

At Integritty, we have customized our SAP BTP platform to include the following 3 pillars:

Pillar 1 Integration:

In today’s interconnected digital landscape, seamless integration of systems and processes is crucial for maintaining operational efficiency and driving business growth. The Integration Pillar of SAP BTP serves as the foundation for creating a seamless digital ecosystem. It enables seamless connectivity between various data sources, applications, and business processes in the cloud and on-premise. Here are a few key features:

  • API Management: Manages the entire lifecycle of APIs, from creation to utilize. Providing an extra layer of security via pre-defined policies and enabling centralized and extended monitoring capabilities.
  • Cloud Integration: Offers a comprehensive range of out-of-box integration protocols and content that allow rapid building of integrations between different systems and applications.
  • Event Mesh: Multiple event brokers that enable communication between applications.
  • Integration Advisor: A community-driven repository to increasing the mapping process in an integration scenario.
  • Open Connectors: Pre-built web-service-based connectors for commonly used applications such as email servers, SharePoint, CRMs, and social networks, enabling a faster setup of the integration
  • Integration Assessment: Integrated framework that enables hybrid integration platform design while safeguarding integration projects based on SAP best practices.

These services create a robust framework for complete connectivity, streamlined communication, and integrated decision-making within the dynamic digital landscape. The Integration Pillar also supports hybrid landscapes, enabling organizations to leverage existing investments while adopting new cloud-based solutions.

Pillar 2 Clean Core and Extensions

SAP BTP’s Clean Core and Extensions Pillar offers low-code or no-code tools for business developers and key users as well as professional development tools for experienced SAP developers.

By leveraging SAP BTP, organizations can enhance their existing SAP systems without compromising the integrity of their core processes.

Moreover, SAP BTP’s Clean Core and Extensions Pillar empowers users at every level to drive innovation and create transformative applications. By leveraging this layer, organizations can deliver customized solutions that improve business processes and user experiences and respond swiftly to changing market needs.

Pillar 3 Automation and AI:

The Automation and AI Pillar helps businesses adapt, improve, and review processes without any requirement of coding knowledge. Additionally, the pillar enables efficient automation of processes, adapts to challenges, and optimizes operations, driving greater efficiency, agility, and productivity. Now, businesses can access best-in-class tools, such as AI, ML, and IoT, that redefine how business processes and applications operate. The key features are:

  • In-built graphical interfaces for process creation and modification.
  • Form-based workflows with drag-and-drop approach.
  • Automation of repetitive and manual processes with a simple drag-and-drop functionality.
  • SAP Business Artificial Intelligence Services

By incorporating these intelligent technologies, SAP BTP helps organizations innovate continuously, optimize processes, and deliver personalized, high-value customer experiences.
