Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We chose the SAP Business Technology Platform to address the OBTC scenario, where our drivers use a mobile app to conduct street vending. SAP Business Technology Platform allows these sales to be automatically integrated into SAP ECC. The major problem in the platform is to find consultants with experience in developing applications for the SAP Business Technology Platform. Even in large consultancies, the supply is limited and usually very expensive. Three years after the project started, we still struggle to implement new functionality in the application and expand the solution.
