SAP Business Technology Platform
SAP BTP is the foundation of SAPs cloud strategy. It provides a unified platform for application development, data management, integration, and AI services — all with a common identity and security model. We help organizations to implement BTP as the backbone of their SAP cloud strategy, delivering end-to-end architecture, integration, extensibility, identity, and operations.
The Four Pillars of SAP BTP
SAP Business Technology Platform organises its services into four capability pillars — all sharing a common identity layer, security model, and set of platform services. Every SAP cloud product (S/4HANA, SuccessFactors, Ariba, and others) uses BTP as the extension and integration target.
Account Model & Governance
BTP uses a four-level hierarchy to separate organisational units, landscapes, and cost management. Understanding this structure is the foundation for every BTP engagement — it drives how entitlements, users, and services are distributed.
Entitlements define which services and service plans are assignable to a subaccount — controlled centrally at global account or directory level. Each service comes with one or more plans (e.g. standard, free, large), and entitlements can be quota-limited (e.g. number of HANA Cloud instances or API Management calls per month). We configure entitlement governance to prevent uncontrolled consumption and align costs to business units.
Runtime Environments
BTP provides three fully managed runtime environments within each subaccount. Selecting the right environment for each workload type is a key architectural decision we drive during the design phase.
- CAP Node.js and Java applications
- Multi-target application (MTA) bundles
- SAP Integration Suite runtime environment
- Containerised / Docker-based workloads
- Microservices and event-driven architectures
- Best for: complex, scalable, polyglot landscapes
- ABAP cloud-native extensions via RAP model
- Tier-1 extensions for SAP S/4HANA Cloud
- Best for: ABAP-specific logic
How Customers Benefit
How We Work
Discovery & Landscape Assessment
We review your existing SAP contracts, active BTP entitlements, integration touchpoints, current identity providers, and team skill sets. Output: a gap analysis and BTP readiness report with a prioritised service and architecture recommendation.
Architecture & Design
Global account structure, directory and subaccount design, environment selection (CF / Kyma / ABAP), security model, identity federation topology, Cloud Connector placement, and Destination configuration — fully documented and reviewed against SAP’s best practices before provisioning begins.
Foundation Build
Terraform-based BTP provisioning, Cloud Identity Services (IAS/IPS) configuration, Cloud Connector installation and system mapping, Destination Service setup, and CI/CD + Cloud Transport Management pipeline establishment — before any application or integration work begins.
Workload Delivery — Sprint-based
Integration iFlows, CAP applications, Kyma services, and SAP Build artefacts are delivered sprint by sprint — each deployed to DEV, validated in TEST, and promoted to PROD through the established CTM pipeline with formal approval checkpoints.
Observability & Hardening
SAP Cloud ALM integration for health monitoring, SAP Alert Notification Service for operations alerting, and SAP Audit Log Service for compliance and GDPR event recording. Security review against BTP’s shared responsibility model before go-live sign-off.
Knowledge Transfer & Handover
Live architecture workshops, full landscape documentation, operational runbooks for every deployed service, and a recorded walkthrough of the CI/CD and transport pipeline — your teams are self-sufficient before we leave.
