SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) is a cloud-based platform that provides services and tools for application development and automation, data management and analytics, integration, and AI capabilities – all in one unified environment. Simply put, BTP is a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) with all you need to customize your SAP products, develop new applications and functionalities, and seamlessly integrate them. In other words, BTP is a tool that allows you to be agile, stay competitive, and drive innovation in your company.
Faster Development, shorter time-to-market, and more agility
Jump-start new projects using proven best practices and low-code solutions that minimize data preparation and management. Save time with a broad set of prebuilt data models, integrations, workflows, and content-rich APls – all designed for your line of business and industry. Ensure your innovations remain with software updates while the core code remains safe and untouched.
SAP Business Technology Platform provides a comprehensive set of tools and services for developing, deploying, and managing applications in the cloud. ABAP and Fiori development, low-code development services, tools for building mobile applications and troubleshooting, document management, and translation services – BTP has it all. And don't forget about integration capabilities, prebuilt integration adapters and connectors, tools to develop custom APIs and microservices – all to extend and customize SAP solutions and 3D party apps. And there's even more: as a PaaS, BTP offers a pay-as-you-go pricing model – which means you pay only for the resources you currently use (e.g., having built a mobile application, you can unsubscribe from the mobile services module). So not only do you save your time and resources, but some costs, too!
With our 20+ years of experience with SAP products and especially with SAP development, we can help you configure and develop customizations and apps (including mobile)for your cloud SAP ecosystem via Business Technology Platform.
SAP BTP provides a set of data and analytics tools that help you derive insights from your data, make informed decisions, and improve business outcomes. SAP HANA Cloud, SAP Analytics Cloud, SAP Data Intelligence, and Data Quality Services – it’s a far from exhaustive list of analytics capabilities that you can find on the Business Technology Platform. With all that, you can build data-driven applications faster, reduce costs, and improve outcomes.
In ACBaltica, we’ve been working with SAP products for analytics and data management for over 15 years – and since 2021 we have had projects based on SAP Analytics Cloud. Building and digitalizing processes, data and process quality management, integration of various data sources (SAP and non-SAP), KPI tracking, analytical report systems and distribution of reports – we can help with all that and many more.
Extended planning and analysis is a more advanced and integrated tool than traditional financial planning and analytics (FP&A), which helps businesses deal with global-level issues like supply chain disruptions, changes in customer demand and transportation costs, raw material cost impacts, and more. Simply put, it's a more holistic instrument that helps you forecast way more accurately and address in your planning way more issues than you would do with traditional FP&A tools. For example, to forecast manufactory revenue, traditional FP&A instruments would consider the number of orders and average selling price – as Extended Planning and Analysis would also deal with fulfillment rates, production capacity, planned shutdowns, etc. Eventually, the extended forecast will provide more valuable results and help you discover how different factors impact your revenue.
At the end of the day, Extended Planning and Analysis tools allow you to improve your business's operational efficiency and financial outcomes.
Extended Planning and Analysis tools are only available within SAP Analytics Cloud – which is also hosted on Business Technology Platform. So if you need help implementing SAP Analytics Cloud and its customization and configuration, we are here for you. We have a comprehensive experience with integrated planning (sales, HR, CapEX, OpEx) and what-if analysis based on Value Driver Trees, as well as expertise in leveraging predictive analytics and using machine learning tools to increase our clients' income.
Business Technology Platform is the number one tool for building integrations between SAP and 3D-party applications in the cloud. It allows for the seamless integration of various systems, applications, and data sources to create a more unified and efficient IT landscape. SAP Integration Suite connects different systems – even if they use different data formats – and enables seamless data exchange. And although BTP is a cloud-based service, it also has a tool to build integrations with on-premise installations (Cloud Integration for Data Services module).
At ACBaltica, we've worked with integrations in the cloud since 2018, when SAP launched Cloud Integration Bus. We successfully connected cloud and non-cloud SAP products and 3D party applications; we have experience configuring integration scenarios provided by SAP and creating them from scratch.
