What is SAP BTP?
SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) is the cloud technology foundation of SAP, bringing together all of the company’s latest innovations. This integrated platform enables organizations to modernize their SAP landscape by leveraging cloud‑native technologies.
SAP BTP provides four core capabilities:
• Application development—in line with the Clean Core principle
• Information system integration through API‑driven and event‑based architectures
• Modern data processing and analytics
• Artificial intelligence to optimize business processes
SAP positions the platform as the strategic foundation for all its cloud applications—and the platform on which every future deployment will rely.
The foundation of your cloud transformation
SAP BTP has become an essential component of your cloud strategy, enabling you to unlock innovation and get the full value of your migration to SAP Cloud ERP. As the technological backbone of SAP services and applications, a well‑designed and properly implemented environment is key to ensuring the long‑term performance and sustainability of your SAP ecosystem.
Adopting SAP BTP raises critical questions: technical architecture, access governance, team organization, financial optimization of resources, and integration with your existing ecosystem. These challenges require specialized expertise.
When do organizations adopt SAP BTP?
Companies typically encounter SAP BTP through four main scenarios:
• Contractual inclusion: the platform comes with SAP Cloud ERP subscriptions.
• Application deployment: new SAP solutions (such as expense management or data applications) require SAP BTP as their underlying infrastructure.
• Migration from legacy SAP solutions: several SAP products will soon reach end of life (mostly in 2027). oXya supports the transition to SAP BTP.
Examples include: Java Portal → Workzone, PI/PO → Integration Suite, BW → SAP Business Data Cloud, SAP ADS → SAP Adobe Document Services, Content Server → DMS, and more.
• Technological innovation: the platform provides access to the latest technologies (AI, advanced analytics, event‑driven architectures) to transform business processes.
oXya’s approach: expertise, methodology, and commitment
Our Areas of Expertise
Platform Assessment and Audit
Our assessments deliver a comprehensive diagnosis of your SAP BTP environment: technical architecture, SAP best‑practice compliance, access governance, performance, and security.
Managed Services and Governance
We provide a comprehensive administration of your SAP BTP landscape:
BTP Cockpit and complete technical stack management
Technical and organizational governance
24/7 monitoring and incident management
Performance optimization
FinOps: cost control and optimization of cloud consumption
Application Development: The Clean Core Era
A major technological shift
Clean Core is a fundamental evolution in SAP’s approach: extensions no longer modify the ERP core but are developed on BTP and communicate via APIs. This architecture simplifies SAP upgrades and significantly reduces technical debt.
Expertise in modern technologies
oXya covers the full BTP development stack:
• Pro‑code development with modern languages (Node.js, JavaScript, Python)
• Low‑code development with SAP Build for fast deployments
• Agile methodologies and CI/CD for iterative delivery
• In‑app and side‑by‑side extensions based on architectural needs
Use cases
Our teams have migrated obsolete Java portals to modern BTP applications, developed a public incident‑reporting portal, and designed various business apps optimized for the SAP cloud ecosystem.
Integration: Orchestrating complex flows
SAP Integration Suite: Our area of expertise
Integration is the backbone of modern IS. On SAP BTP, we design and deploy sophisticated integration architectures using Integration Suite, covering SAP‑to‑SAP flows and third‑party integrations.
PI/PO migration to Integration Suite
We manage smooth transitions from PI/PO to Integration Suite using a proven methodology: existing landscape assessment, validation pilot, phased functional migration, secure go‑live, and continuous improvement.
FinOps optimization
In a consumption‑based model, cost control is critical. We optimize the number, size, and processing of messages to control your TCO without compromising operational performance.
Data & Analytics: Leveraging your information assets
The challenge of SAP data exploitation
Extracting and exploiting SAP data in modern environments (Snowflake, Databricks, cloud BI solutions) raises complex technical, legal, and architectural challenges.
Data solutions
We work across the full SAP BTP data portfolio:
• SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) for visualization and analytics
• SAP Datasphere for modern data warehousing
• SAP Business Data Cloud for unified data governance
Differentiating expertise
Our dual expertise—traditional SAP environments and modern data architectures—allows us to design optimal solutions balancing regulatory constraints, technical performance, and cost control.
We also support migrations from SAP BW to cloud solutions, including existing system assessment, target architecture definition, and phased migration of flows and reporting.
Artificial Intelligence
All SAP AI tools are deployed on SAP BTP. We implement and operate SAP Joule, SAP AI Agents, and agentic AI architectures. Our pragmatic approach is based on our own internal use of these technologies within our operations.
FAQ
SAP Business Technology Platform provides services for application development, integration, automation, data and analytics, and extending SAP applications. Organizations can use BTP to connect SAP and non-SAP systems and develop extensions without unnecessarily modifying the core ERP environment. oXya supports BTP platform assessment and audit, managed services and governance (including 24/7 monitoring and FinOps), application development with pro-code and low-code (SAP Build), integration with SAP Integration Suite, data and analytics with SAP Analytics Cloud, SAP Datasphere and SAP Business Data Cloud, and AI with SAP Joule and SAP AI Agents.
SAP BTP can support an S/4HANA transformation by providing integration, extension, application development, automation, and data capabilities around the core ERP environment. This can help organizations adopt a cleaner-core approach while still addressing business-specific requirements. oXya helps customers use BTP for building Clean Core extensions on BTP that communicate with the ERP via APIs, which simplifies SAP upgrades and reduces technical debt. We also migrate legacy SAP solutions to BTP, such as PI/PO to Integration Suite, Java Portal to Workzone, and BW to SAP Business Data Cloud, and we support the move to SAP Cloud ERP.
Yes. SAP BTP includes integration capabilities designed to connect SAP applications with other SAP and non-SAP systems, APIs, data sources, and cloud services. oXya provides integration architecture design and deployment on SAP Integration Suite, covering SAP-to-SAP flows and third-party integrations, as well as PI/PO migration to Integration Suite using a phased methodology (assessment, validation pilot, phased migration, secure go-live and continuous improvement), to help customers control TCO through FinOps optimization of message volume, size, and processing without compromising operational performance.
