Lesson 1
Illustrating the SAP Business Technology
Platform
LESSON OBJECTIVES
After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
●Illustrate the SAP Business Technology Platform.
What is the SAP Business Technology Platform?
In this course, we explore the SAP Business Technology Platform and its capabilities.
Figure 1: SAP Business Technology Platform
The SAP Business Technology Platform is a versatile platform that enables businesses to
innovate, integrate, and transform their operations in the digital age. With its array of tools
and services, SAP BTP empowers organizations to surpass competitors, drive business value,
and provide great customer experiences, all through one single platform.
SAP BTP provides a set of foundational services that include application development,
automation, integration, data and analytics, and artificial intelligence. These services are
designed to work seamlessly together, enabling businesses to build innovative applications,
connect disparate systems, and derive actionable insights from their data.
What makes SAP BTP so powerful, is that it offers the tools to create personalized solutions.
You can build your own applications, or you could extend and integrate existing applications
and services, tailored to your individual business needs. Thanks to low-code /no-code

12. solutions also offered through SAP BTP, business users are enabled to automate tasks,
establish workflows, and craft their own customized interfaces.
Another notable feature of SAP BTP is its capacity to support both cloud-native and hybrid
solutions of the cloud while also integrating with on-premise systems and data sources. This
flexibility enables organizations to adapt to changing business needs and infrastructure
requirements without compromising security or performance.
Application Development, Automation, Integration, Data and Analytics, and AI are
foundational pillars of SAP BTP, providing organizations with the tools and capabilities they
need to digitize their business processes, innovate rapidly, and deliver exceptional customer
experiences in the digital age.
Figure 2: Foundational Pillars of SAP Business Technology Platform
Application Development
This aspect of SAP BTP focuses on empowering developers to create, deploy, and
manage applications efficiently. It offers various development tools and services to
support different programming languages and development approaches. One of these
tools is SAP Build Code, designed for building and extending business applications on the
SAP Business Technology Platform. SAP Build Code provides developers with a
collaborative, cloud-based environment featuring pre-configured tools and services for
application development, enabling faster and more efficient development cycles.
Additionally, it integrates AI functionalities to support developers. SAP BTP also supports
low-code development, allowing business users to create applications without extensive
coding knowledge. For instance, in a bike shop scenario, this could involve building an
application tailored to specific business needs and providing employees with a link for
easy access.
. For more information, see: https://www.sap.com/products/business-technology-
platform/low-code.html
Automation
Automation within SAP BTP enables organizations to streamline repetitive tasks,
improve efficiency, and reduce manual intervention in business processes. This could
include SAP Build Process Automation for automating routine tasks such as data entry or

13. invoice processing. SAP BTP also offers workflow automation capabilities, allowing
organizations to design, execute, and monitor complex business workflows with ease. By
automating mundane tasks and workflows, organizations can free up resources,
minimize errors, and focus on higher-value activities that drive business growth. If our
bike shop wants to order new parts before they run out, it could automate this process.
For example, as soon as the system detects that certain parts are low in stock, an order
to the manufacturer could be triggered. For more information, see: https://
www.sap.com/products/technology-platform/process-automation.html
Integration
Integration is a critical aspect of SAP BTP that enables seamless communication and
data exchange between different systems, applications, and data sources. SAP BTP
offers the SAP Integration Suite to facilitate connectivity across on-premise and cloud
environments, as well as with external partners and customers. There are also resources
for API management and pre-built business content for out-of-the-box solutions. With
integration on SAP BTP, organizations can break down data silos, streamline business
processes, and unlock the full potential of their digital ecosystem. If our bike shop needs
to connect to the system of the manufacturer, it can either check for existing APIs in the
SAP Business Accelerator Hub or create APIs with SAP Integration Suite. For more
information, see: https://www.sap.com/products/integration.html
Data and Analytics
Data and analytics capabilities on SAP BTP empower organizations to derive insights
from their data, make informed decisions, and drive business outcomes. This includes
services for data warehousing, data modeling, and advanced analytics. SAP BTP also
offers data visualization capabilities and machine learning services to enable
organizations to uncover hidden patterns, trends, and opportunities in their data. By
harnessing the power of data and analytics on SAP BTP, organizations can gain a
competitive edge, optimize operations, and innovate with confidence. With suppliers,
customers, and sales, our bike shop accumulates a lot of valuable data. This data could
be stored, managed, and visualized with SAP BTP data management products such as
SAP Analytics Cloud, SAP Datasphere, SAP HANA Cloud, and more. For more
information, see: https://www.sap.com/products/analytics.html
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
SAP BTP offers a comprehensive set of AI technologies and services, for example SAP AI
Business Services and Generative AI Hub. They enable organizations to harness the
power of artificial intelligence to foster innovation, enhance efficiency, and provide added
value to customers. By leveraging these AI capabilities, organizations can stay ahead of
the competition and thrive in today's digital economy. Customers of our fictional bike
shop can get personalized, AI-based recommendations to find the product that fits best
and benefit from an enriched customer experience. For more information, see: https://

Lesson 2
Analyzing Responsibilities and Guidance
Resources
LESSON OBJECTIVES
After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
●Explain the responsibilities of administrators
●Introduce the SAP BTP Guidance Framework
Shared Responsibility Model
Figure 3: Responsibility Model of SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP)
The Shared Responsibility Model between your company and SAP defines how
responsibilities are divided. SAP manages the platform, whereas your company develops and
manages applications and the corresponding data. SAP is responsible for the infrastructure,
including the physical security of data centers, network controls, and operational security
including monitoring. Based on this, SAP is responsible for:
●SAP HANA Service Management
●Runtimes and Services Management
●Resource and Account Provisioning
●Operating System (OS) Maintenance

16. ●Infrastructure Maintenance
●Hardware Components including Setup
●Provision of Data Center Facility
Customers are responsible for their data, access management, and applications and their
security. This model ensures that both parties contribute to maintaining a secure
environment, with SAP handling the underlying platform, in this case SAP BTP, and users
managing their specific configurations.
