SAP’s customers and the partner ecosystem require a platform that serves as a foundation for becoming an Intelligent Enterprise and for driving digitalization around SAP landscapes.
SAP BTP is a critical element of our strategy, laying the foundation for our own engineering efficiency, for our customer’s success and for scalability and innovation via our partner ecosystem. SAP Business Technology Platform is a unified, business-centric, and open platform that empowers customers and our ecosystem to innovate, build, extend, and integrate SAP and non-SAP applications in a cloud-native way.
Industry Cloud is SAP’s strategy to extend the intelligent suite with innovative Industry Cloud solutions built by SAP and partners in the cloud, built on SAP BTP, and running on the cloud infrastructure of our Hyperscaler partners. The design of the Industry Cloud reflects our customers’ core business needs within their industries.
