Apps

SAP BTP app development

What SAP BTP technologies do you use for app development?

We build with SAP CAP (Cloud Application Programming model), Fiori/UI5 for SAP-native UX, SAP Build for low-code workflows, and React for customer-facing applications. All deployed on SAP BTP Cloud Foundry.

Can you build apps that integrate with our existing SAP ECC or S/4HANA system?

Yes. Our apps are designed to integrate non-invasively with SAP backends via standard APIs and OData services, with no core modifications required.

How long does a typical SAP BTP app project take?

Most projects run 4–12 weeks from design to production, depending on complexity. Our Winc engagement went live in 15 days.

Do you support SAP Build Process Automation?

Yes. We design and implement end-to-end process automation including forms, approvals, exception handling, and integration back into SAP systems.

Integration

Integration & SAP PO migration

Can you migrate our SAP PO interfaces to BTP Integration Suite?

Yes. Our Switch platform extracts your full SAP PO landscape, assesses each interface, and designs a governed migration plan to BTP Integration Suite.

What integration patterns do you support on SAP BTP?

We implement API-led, event-driven, and file-based integration patterns. Our governance framework includes 9 canonical patterns covering the most common enterprise scenarios.

How do you handle integration governance?

We deliver a complete governance engine: integration strategy, pattern catalogue, specification templates, and development standards, ensuring consistency as your landscape grows.

What happens to our integrations during an S/4HANA migration?

We design integration strategies that decouple from the backend migration timeline, reducing rework and enabling parallel workstreams.

AI

AI & intelligent automation

What is the AI Readiness Sprint?

A 2-week assessment across 11 dimensions that evaluates your organisation's readiness for AI on SAP BTP, covering data, process, governance, and platform maturity.

Which AI services do you use on SAP BTP?

We work with SAP AI Core, AI Launchpad, and GenAI Hub, along with hyperscaler AI services from Google Cloud and AWS. We select the right model for each use case.

Can AI be applied to our existing SAP workflows?

Yes. We focus on practical AI that enhances existing SAP processes: document processing, intelligent routing, anomaly detection, and conversational assistants.

How do you ensure AI solutions are production-ready?

Every AI solution includes monitoring, fallback handling, and human-in-the-loop design. We don't deploy experiments; we deploy production systems.

Switch

Switch migration platform

What is Switch?

Switch is Beta Digital's SAP PO migration platform. It extracts your full SAP PO landscape (interfaces, channels, mappings, and dependencies) then uses AI-powered analysis to generate modernisation recommendations and a governed migration plan for SAP BTP Integration Suite.

How does a Switch assessment work?

You export your SAP PO configuration data and upload it to Switch. The platform analyses your integration landscape, visualises dependencies, and generates an initial modernisation view, so you understand scope, risk, and sequencing before committing to a migration programme.

What is the 4R framework?

The 4R framework is Switch's approach to modernisation decisions: Retire, Rehost, Refactor, and Rebuild. The strong bias is toward Refactor and Rebuild.

Managed Service

SAP BTP managed service

What does your SAP BTP Managed Service cover?

We operate, optimise, and evolve your BTP platform, applications, integrations, and AI workloads, including monitoring, incident response, security oversight, and continuous improvement.

Can you manage a BTP environment we didn't build?

Yes. We conduct a health check and onboarding assessment for existing environments, then transition them into our managed service framework.

How is this different from SAP Enterprise Support?

SAP Enterprise Support covers the platform layer. Our managed service covers your custom applications, integrations, and AI workloads running on BTP: the layer SAP doesn't manage.
