Overall Satisfaction with SAP Business Technology Platform

We base our development of new industry cloud solutions on SAP BTP connected to a clean core S/4. BTP enables us to develop additional industry-specific and agnostic functionality which brings additional business value to our customers. Especially the new offerings on SAP Build are being used in our Innovation cases to bring new product very fast to market. We’re working closely with SAP to further increase functionality and ensure that we can get the best results for our clients.
  • Integration to SAP and non-SAP systems
  • SAP Build combining Build Apps, Process Automation and Work Zone
  • Dynamic call off of new Services
  • Technical stability of new products such as SAP Build Apps
  • Performance
  • Rapid development and deployment of new functionality
  • Agile development based on iterations via prototypes
  • Distributed development
  • Full backend integration capabilities into S/4
Overall a good concept as a platform for all enhanced functionality outside the clean core. Full access to data and good possibilities to provide this data to the user via dashboards, reports and apps. Still some technical gaps in regards to stability of new functionality and performance. Central development and data platform.
Support on bugs and/or missing functionality is not always transparent and fast. The mid and long term strategy on certain topics (e.g. IoT) is not always clear and communicated early enough to avoid obsolete development.
Integration into SAP core data is key - it’s the obvious choice if processes run on S/4. The functionality gets consistently enhanced with new features (e.g. SAP Build, SAC, Datasphere,..) and the new partnership with Microsoft on AI will bring further capabilities in regards to conversational AI features

Business scenarios based on SAP backend data are best suited for BTP as they US the rich transactional and master data available in S/4. Extensions to functionality available in S/4 is another major area of use. Consolidation and integration of external data sources (non-SAP systems) via Datasphere for joint data views and usage
