What provides a foundation for the SAP Cloud ERP where integrations and extensions live?

SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) provides a foundation for the SAP Cloud ERP where integrations and extensions live. SAP BTP is a cloud-based platform that offers a range of services and capabilities to extend, integrate, and orchestrate SAP and non-SAP applications. SAP BTP enables customers and partners to build extensions that are decoupled from the core SAP S/4HANA Cloud system, ensuring lifecycle stability and avoiding modification of SAP code. SAP BTP also leverages the huge library of free integration packages and extension templates available on the SAP Business Accelerator Hub, which can be consumed and customized according to the customer’s needs. All services are listed in the SAP Discovery Center, where customers can explore, try, and buy SAP BTP services.

SAP ABAP Environment, SAP Discovery Center, and SAP Business Accelerator Hub are not the foundation for the SAP Cloud ERP, but rather components or tools that are related to SAP BTP. SAP ABAP Environment is a service on SAP BTP that allows customers and partners to develop and run ABAP code in the cloud. SAP Discovery Center is a portal that showcases the available services and solutions on SAP BTP and guides customers through the end-to-end journey of discovering, trying, buying, and implementing them. SAP Business Accelerator Hub is a repository of ready-to-use integration packages and extension templates that can be deployed on SAP BTP to accelerate the implementation of SAP S/4HANA Cloud. References = Navigating SAP’s Cloud ERP Portfolio; ERP integration: When, why, and how; Exploring SAP’s Cloud Integration Technologies; Why Cloud ERP Is Right For Your Scaleup
