Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We are SAP partner consulting companies. We provide solutions for customers in various SAP projects. I am currently working as a Senior specialist consultant for solutions in SAP Business Technology Platform development and implementation.
Pros and Cons
  • One stop extension for SAP products extension
  • Integrating Data from different SAP products
  • Provides wholistic view of business processes across the product
  • Adopting open source standards for development
  • Licensing of different services
  • Integration between 3rd party systems
  • Faster adoration of development from open source platforms
Likelihood to Recommend
When there are multiple 3rd part systems involved, often the integration performance or ease of integration is not up to other integration tools. Compared to other tools, SAP Business Technology Platform's initial cost is very high, which often proves challenging to convince customers.

Return on Investment
  • For clients with a bigger ERP system, realizations of TCO are usually observed after 3-4 years on average.
  • For clients having smaller ERP foot print we are yet to see positive TCO
  • As not many resources are available, finding the right talent is often challenging
  • Not many existing consultants have a wholistic picture of how SAP Business Technology Platform architecture and security works
Usability
8
As strictly speaking, from a technical perspective, with the SAP ecosystem the SAP Business Technology Platform has unparalleled capabilities but where in many cases customers already have many Cloud-native solutions built on other platforms, so they are not willing to invest heavily in the new platform.
Support Rating
7
SAP Business Technology Platform has integrated many open-source technologies over time however the rate of adoption is slow compared to open-source products due to the nature of the products. Also needing more upskilling of the existing consultants adds additional burden and difficulties in AMS services.
Alternatives Considered
Azure Active Directory is one of the most commonly used dips across various solutions, as a IDP hence when using SAP Business Technology Platform IDP needs more effort.

Products Replaced
No
Evaluation Lessons Learned
Not many solutions are designed in a cloud-first approach, hence to change the design phase to design more robust and cloud-ready solutions.
Implementation Details / Implementation Partner
  • Implemented in-house
Implementation Phases
Yes
1. Integration of development within SAP products.
2. Developing/integrating applications between sap and 3rd party systems.
3. Development applications needed by 3rd party systems.
Change Management Lessons
Change management was a major issue with the implementation
Often cases where SAP Business Technology Platform Transport management was unable to handle hybrid scenarios, where to use it with others tools to achieve the desired functionality, which in turn raises the cost and resources needed.
Implementation Issues
  • SAP Business Technology Platform transport management capabilities are still lacking to be used as a single tool for transport within the SAP products.
  • Many customers use are using 3rd party systems in many cases, direct API is proving to be difficult especially in on premise and cloud hybrid scenarios.
  • Sometimes even the best use cases for SAP Business Technology Platform services are not selected due to high initial cost and lack of resources.
Implementation Rating
6
1. Sometimes the licensing doesn’t make sense, e.g., Difficult to understand the license for ABAP cloud runtime.
2. When SAP Business Technology Platform workflow cost is very high but process automation which offers more features has less cost.
Premium Support
Due to cost, we did not opt for that.
Bug Resolution
Yes
Resolution time can be improved.
