At the foundation of every business transformation is a mix of technologies working together to solve critical challenges. And when that foundation is as diverse as SAP Business Technology Platform, you need a well-defined value map that shows the best path to meaningful outcomes and lasting change.
Time is no one’s friend – and businesses know it. So gone are the days of being content with doing what the competition is doing, just slightly better. Instead, companies want to make the most of every moment, adapting their value chains to new markets, industries, and ecosystems before anyone else does.
For SAP customers seeking a first-mover advantage, the flexibility and independence gained through SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) are essential elements of transforming business operations and preparing for a digital future. The platform supports the four fundamental pillars of digital innovation that help ensure success in the cloud: database and data management, analytics tools and services, intelligent technologies, and application development, extension, and integration capabilities.
Depending on how the services are combined, organizations can deliver incredible transformations that leave competitors scrambling to catch up. But first, you are faced with a wide range of capabilities and services to determine the optimal mix to fulfill your unique vision or preferred business scenario.
How can you understand everything that SAP BTP offers and move forward quickly and successfully? With SAP Enterprise Support value maps, you can access critical guidance on the platform’s current and future state and connect those insights to your digital transformation, cloud adoption, or technology expansion.
