More BTP benefits to love

Next to security by design with a well-designed cloud ecosystem to eliminate most security risks, multi-cloud openness and allowing a fast go-to-market with easy-to-develop custom extensions, BTP also supports MACH architecture.

Carving a course to the cloud

Where does SAP BTP fit in SAP’s line of highly advanced solutions for modern businesses? For starters, it is the successor to SAP Cloud Platform as the next major step in bringing cloud ERP within everyone’s reach – whether you’re currently running SAP S/4HANA or on SAP ECC.

According to SAP "the cloud is the heart and brain of digital transformation". However, when ERPs run in SAP's SaaS public cloud, there is no possibility to code in the core. That's why SAP offers a future-proof framework for third-party integrations, intelligent technologies and custom development.

A PaaS made to accelerate

Because SAP BTP is a Platform as a Service (PaaS), data and applications are managed by you, the user. You are the architect that picks and chooses the features and capabilities that match your unique business perspectives and objectives.

Maximize the value of your data and streamline workflows and processes.
Build applications faster than ever with pre-built content and pro-code, low-code and no-code tools like SAP Build.
Boost your agility through extended planning and analysis.
Seamlessly connect SAP products and third-party applications with SAP Integration Suite.

Imagine you want to build a web application that can be integrated with SAP S/4HANA. Thanks to platforms like SAP BTP, you can bring together every facet of an end-to-end solution within one and the same PaaS. The platform takes care of everything; offering development tools, databases, integration APIs, network, user management, operating system, storage, etc.

SAP x delaware: a match made in the cloud

SAP BTP is the pillar behind everything SAP does, today and in the future. Its foundations were laid already in 2012, when SAP introduced its SAP HANA in-memory database. Then came SAP HANA Cloud Platform (SAP HCP), which added intelligent tech, and SAP Cloud Platform (SAP SCP), which focused on integrations. In 2021, SAP BTP introduced app development and line-of-business solutions.

Since 2012, delaware has been in the front-row seat, witnessing SAP’s vision take shape, supporting the wide-spread adoption of SAP BTP, and building expertise. We’re part of the SAP BTP Advisory Board, think alongside top partners in strategic discussions, and much more. In short, we’re involved at every level of BTP, ensuring our experts are always up to speed with the latest trends and releases. Oh and we’re the 11th SAP Platinum Partner globally.
