- SAP Data Intelligence<\/li>\n
- SAP Master Data Governance<\/li>\n
- SAP Adaptive Server Enterprise<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
2. Application Development and Integration<\/b><\/h3>\n\n- SAP Integration Suite<\/li>\n
- SAP Extension Suite<\/li>\n
- SAP Process Orchestration<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
3. Analytics<\/b><\/h3>\n\n- SAP Analytics Cloud<\/li>\n
- SAP Data Warehouse Cloud<\/li>\n
- SAP BusinessObjects BI<\/li>\n
- SAP Business Planning and Consolidation<\/li>\n
- SAP BW\/4 HANA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
4. Intelligent Technologies<\/b><\/h3>\n\n- SAP Intelligent Robotic Process Automation<\/li>\n

- SAP Internet of Things<\/li>\n
- SAP AI Business Services<\/li>\n
- SAP RuuN<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
With this set of SAP technologies, SAP BTP can integrate and extend SAP with third-party applications. Effectively, SAP BTP enable SAP developers and architects to develop their applications in AI, IoT, and Blockchain.<\/p>\n
In the next section, let\u2019s discuss the SAP BTP account structure.<\/p>\n
SAP BTP \u2013 Account Structure<\/b><\/h2>\n
SAP BTP has a hierarchical account structure with the Global Account at the top of the account management. This can be of the type, Enterprise or Trial. Enterprise accounts are associated with selected business partners or customers, while a Trial account allows users to try out SAP BTP Cloud for free.<\/p>\n
Here are the lower components of the SAP BTP account structure:<\/b><\/p>\n\n- Region<\/b> is the point that provisions the services. While services can be provisioned anywhere, the SAP BTP architecture must be designed according to local technical and government requirements.<\/li>\n
- Sub Account<\/b> is a technically independent component that does not share users, applications, and authorizations with other sub accounts. Architects can use sub accounts in development, production, and QA environments.<\/li>\n
- Space<\/b> is the BTP component that enables SAP applications to run independently. It can execute multiple application instances.<\/li>\n
- Services<\/b> or an application instance is the lowest component in the BTP account structure. It is generated with a service template, or a customized application deployed using a container.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Next, let\u2019s discuss the benefits of using SAP BTP.<\/p>\n
Benefits of SAP Business Technology Platform<\/b><\/h2>\n
Effectively, SAP BTP provides a unified platform for data & analytics, AI, application development, and intelligent technologies. Here are some of the benefits that organizations can leverage by using SAP BTP:<\/p>\n
1. Personalized Experience<\/b><\/h3>\n
With the integrated SAP BTP, organizations can personalize the user experience for various SAP applications. For instance, it can enrich the user experience with AI and automation. Additionally, it can deliver innovation through native integrations with SAP applications.<\/p>\n
2. Faster Innovation<\/b><\/h3>\n
Today’s customers demand faster business innovation. SAP BTP accelerates innovation using low-code\/ no-code development tools. It can also kickstart new development projects using prebuilt content and business cases. With SAP BTP, architects can analyze data from their SAP applications with the right insight and meaning.<\/p>\n
3. Low-Cost Cloud Maintenance<\/b><\/h3>\n
With SAP BTP, enterprises can also deploy their mission-critical applications in the cost-efficient SAP Cloud environment. They can also customize their business processes with minimum levels of maintenance. Enterprises can also choose their preferred cloud platform that works best with their IT environment.<\/p>\n

With SAP BTP, organizations can speed up their data migration from legacy ERP systems to the SAP S\/4 HANA Cloud. With over 2,000 prebuilt integrations and tools, SAP customers can automate their business processes on SAP S\/4 HANA Cloud. Additionally, enterprise architects can accelerate innovation by extending beyond SAP S\/4 HANA Cloud.<\/p>\n
Next, let us look at some of the SAP BTP use cases.<\/p>\n
SAP BTP Use Cases<\/b><\/h2>\n
Business enterprises need real-time data to make well-informed business decisions using advanced technologies. By integrating end-to-end processes, SAP BTP provides a connected and consistent experience across all SAP (or non-SAP) applications.<\/p>\n
SAP Business Technology Platform comprises 4 main systems namely Data & Database Management, Analytics, Application Development & Integration, and Intelligent Technologies. Let\u2019s discuss the use cases of each of these 4 elements:<\/p>\n
1. Data and Database Management<\/b><\/h3>\n
With its database management, organizations can store data and make informed data-driven decisions. Using the SAP Cloud Application Programming model, architects can create extensible applications and exchange real-time data between SAP systems and your extensions. Further, SAP users can customize the UI on their own \u2013 thus elevating user experience and accelerating project completion.<\/p>\n
2. Analytics<\/b><\/h3>\n
Using analytics, SAP BTP can extract predictive insights from real-time data flows (provided by intelligent technologies). The SAP Analytics Cloud can generate simulations and visualizations from multiple data sources. Using AI and machine learning features of SAP BTP, companies can achieve high-speed processing power and engines.<\/p>\n
3. Application Development and Integration<\/b><\/h3>\n
SAP BTP simplifies application development and deployment through integration between cloud-powered (& on-premises) applications and SAP & third-party applications. The SAP Extensions Suite can be used to develop reliable and secure cloud-based applications. With the SAP Cloud Platform, organizations can minimize the occurrence and maintenance time for application errors with microservice security.<\/p>\n

Intelligent technologies like AI, machine learning, and IoT help in enhancing workplace productivity. Using the SAP Conversational AI, SAP BTP provides HR functions with employee data collected using smart chatbots. Users can interact with the chatbot from multiple devices. AI-enabled chatbots can obtain information in a faster and more secure environment.<\/p>\n
Additionally, SAP BTP can enhance the capabilities of SAP Business One solutions. Among the offered services from SAP BTP, Document Information Extraction (DOX) enables SAP B1 users to automatically scan any unstructured invoice from their vendors. SAP B1 users can easily configure their connection to this service and import the necessary documents. After processing, SAP B1 customers can view the structured draft of the A\/P invoice.<\/p>\n
