Integration used to mean connecting databases. Now it means unifying experiences.
SAP’s Business Technology Platform (BTP) is the beating heart of that connected vision—bridging S/4HANA, non-SAP apps, and external clouds into one intelligent layer.
Why Integration Still Hurts
Enterprises run dozens of systems—CRM, e-commerce, finance, HR, supply chain.
Without a unifying platform, data duplication, process lag, and compliance gaps are inevitable.
A 2025 SAPinsider report found:
- 92% of organizations face integration complexity.
- 58% say poor integration directly impacts revenue.
The SAP BTP Advantage
SAP BTP merges integration, analytics, AI, and extension tools into a single platform.
Core components include:
- SAP Integration Suite: connects SAP and non-SAP apps via 2,500+ prebuilt connectors.
- SAP Data Sphere: unified data foundation for analytics.
- AI Core & Automation: extends processes without custom code.
Example in Action
A logistics provider linked SAP S/4HANA, Salesforce CRM, and Microsoft Azure IoT via SAP BTP.
Results after 9 months:
- Manual data entry down 60%
- Delivery forecasting improved 35%
- Integration maintenance costs cut by 40%
Integration ROI Snapshot
| Benefit | % Improvement | |
|---|---|---|
| Operational Efficiency | +30% | |
| Data Accuracy | +45% | |
| Cost Reduction | -35% |
Future Outlook
Integration will move from “pipes and connectors” to autonomous orchestration—systems that adapt to disruptions in real time.
SAP BTP’s roadmap includes AI-driven flow management and zero-code cross-app integrations.
Conclusion
So, in short, what did we learn?
A connected enterprise is a competitive enterprise.
With SAP BTP, integration becomes the foundation for automation, innovation, and resilience.
