SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) is a platform as a service developed by SAP SE for creating new applications or extending existing applications in a secure cloud computing environment managed by SAP. The SAP Cloud Platform integrated data and business processes.[2][3]

SAP Cloud Platform has been rebranded as SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP).[4]

Overview

[edit]

SAP Business Technology Platform is an open platform-as-a-service,[5] which includes the in-memory SAP HANA database management system, connects to both on premises and cloud-based systems running SAP or other third-party software and relies on open standards,[6] like Java, JavaScript, Node.js and Cloud Foundry[7] for integration options.

SAP and Apple Inc. partnered to develop mobile applications on iOS using cloud-based software development kits (SDKs) for the SAP Cloud Platform.[8][9]

SAP Business Technology Platform is based on open source technology, developed & supported in partnership with SUSE.[10]

History

[edit]

Initially unveiled as "SAP NetWeaver Cloud" belonging to the SAP HANA Cloud portfolio on October 16, 2012[11] the cloud platform was reintroduced with the new name "SAP HANA Cloud Platform" on May 13, 2013[12] as the foundation for SAP cloud products, including the SAP BusinessObjects Cloud.[13] Adoption of the SAP HANA Cloud Platform has increased steadily[14] since the platform's launch in 2012, with SAP claiming over 4000 customers and 500 partners adopting the SAP HANA Cloud Platform.[15][16]

On February 27, 2017, SAP HANA Cloud Platform was renamed "SAP Cloud Platform" at the Mobile World Congress.[17]

On January 18, 2021, the name "SAP Cloud Platform" was officially removed from SAP's product portfolio to support SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP).[18] It has since received many product updates and new services, like SAP Datasphere or SAP Build Apps.

As of September 2025, SAP mentions that the platform has more than 16.000 customers.
