What is SAP BTP?
SAP Business Technology Platform is SAP's strategic cloud platform for extending, integrating, and applying AI to the SAP estate. It groups three things: application development, integration, and AI/data — all on a shared platform layer for security, identity, and operations.
The three pillars
What You Get on BTP
Application Development
Build cloud-native extensions and side-by-side apps with SAP CAP, Fiori/UI5, and SAP Build. Keep the S/4HANA core clean while adding capability where the business needs it.Explore →
Integration
Connect SAP and non-SAP systems with Integration Suite — API-led where possible, event-driven where it makes sense, and B2B/EDI for trading-partner exchanges.Explore →
AI & Data
Use SAP AI Core, AI Launchpad, and GenAI Hub for production AI; extend with hyperscaler services where needed. SAP HANA Cloud and Datasphere underpin the data layer.Explore →
