SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) is positioned as a strategic lever for companies using SAP. As an integrated and innovative platform, it offers solutions to meet a variety of needs, while respecting SAP’s philosophy: Keep the Core Clean. In other words, BTP allows you to extend your ERP’s functionality without overloading its core.
Here are four concrete examples that illustrate the potential of BTP and demonstrate how it can transform your business processes:
Create a partner portal with SAP Build Work Zone
Need: to offer your partners secure, personalized access to your information system.
With SAP Build Work Zone, you can quickly develop a portal connected to your ERP. Imagine an IT maintenance company that enables its customers to consult the status of their equipment and order spare parts independently. This case illustrates how to simplify external interactions while enhancing the user experience.
Optimize document management with SAP Document Management Service (DMS)
Need: centralize and secure your documents in a unified environment.
SAP DMS acts as a central repository for managing documents linked to your SAP (S/4HANA On-Premise or Cloud) and non-SAP systems. It enables files to be stored, organized and accessed, with advanced features such as versioning, access control and prioritization. The service enhances employee collaboration via an intuitive interface and guarantees secure storage.
Simplify workflows with SAP Build Process Automation
Need: control and improve data quality in SAP ERP.
With SAP Build Process Automation, create workflows in low-code to connect your SAP or non-SAP systems. Take the example of an approval workflow for the creation of Business Partners. This often tedious process can be simplified with SAP’s pre-packaged, customizable workflows. The result: fewer duplicates, better data quality and increased user satisfaction.
Integrate files from Google Cloud Platform with SAP Event Mesh and Integration Suite
Need: connecting hybrid environments to streamline data exchanges.
A customer using Google Workspace was able to automatically integrate files deposited on Google Cloud Platform into its S/4HANA ERP. How? By combining SAP Event Mesh, which manages asynchronous events, and SAP Integration Suite, a powerful, scalable integration platform. A fine demonstration of the flexibility offered by BTP to meet complex needs.
And more: specific applications for your business needs
SAP BTP paves the way for customized solutions to meet a wide range of business needs. For example, Api ma supérette, a network of convenience stores, chose SAP BTP to modernize its inventories. Thanks to mobile applications developed with SAP Business Application Studio and other BTP services, store teams carry out their inventories quickly and efficiently, directly on mobile.
These applications leverage APIs from the S/4HANA Cloud Public system, guaranteeing seamless integration and operational fluidity. By following a side-by-side extensibility approach, Api ma supérette maintains a Clean Core ERP, while retaining maximum flexibility to meet specific store needs.
What’s more, these applications can be deployed on SAP Build Work Zone for easy access, or integrated directly into the S/4HANA launchpad (On-Premise or Cloud), offering a seamless, optimized user experience.
In conclusion :
Whether you’re looking for improved collaboration, better management of ERP data, simplified connectivity or an extension of your ERP to meet specific needs while retaining its own core, SAP BTP has the right solutions for you. By exploring these use cases, you may identify opportunities to meet your own challenges.
