Why steampunk and SAP BTP?
Composable-ERP

The possibilities with the revamped Abap and cloud functions on the Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) are enormous. The future of ERP, even beyond S/4 Hana, will be shaped by BTP, CAP and RAP. Options for innovative end-to-end processes are opening up for existing SAP customers and partners: The future is a composable ERP.

Clean Core also means end-of-life for ERP as the SAP community has known it up to now. With Business Technology Platform, a new ERP universe with a best-of-breed philosophy is emerging. The metamorphosis began in 2023 and continued with the Steampunk and BTP Summit 2024 in Heidelberg. SAP BTP becomes the core of a new ERP generation!

Steampunk: CAP and RAP on BTP

Christian Knell from SAP partner Snap opened the steampunk educational journey on June 1, 2023 in Salzburg at the SAP Competence Center Summit. The first public presentation on this topic was a highlight of the event in Salzburg and amazed everyone in the audience.

In his E3 Magazine article, Christian Knell, Managing Partner at Snap Consulting, describes the importance of BTP:

The future of S/4 Hana is still uncertain. SAP guarantees software maintenance until 2040, but until then and beyond? There are already numerous business and organizational challenges that cannot be solved with the standard processes of the S/4 private and public cloud.

Many existing SAP customers are about to transfer their Abap modifications to a future S/4 Hana system. What happens to the innovations in the Z namespace? Neither the SAP Private Cloud nor the Public Cloud provide satisfactory answers to this question. There are still media discontinuities in many SAP business processes and there is a lack of verified end-to-end scenarios. Third-party systems will continue to supply external data to S/4 in the future. S/4 Hana will become an integrated part of a composable ERP over the next few years. Only with Business Technology Platform, SAP BTP, can the rescue of successful Abap modifications, the development of new E2E processes and the orchestration of a Composable ERP succeed.

The Steampunk and BTP Summit 2024 provides the answers regarding an ERP architecture, CAP, RAP and BTP including and beyond S/4 Hana, because the ERP world and SAP community will not cease to exist after 2040.

For further suggestions and ideas about the Steampunk and BTP Summit 2024, I am very happy to be at your disposal at any time. Please call me at +49/8654/77130-21 or write to me at pmf@b4bmedia.net.

Thank you for your interest and I look forward to seeing you again in Heidelberg,

On the way to Hana and S/4 and beyond, questions arise regarding existing Abap modifications and the development of new Fior apps and E2E processes with CAP and RAP. Many of these questions will be answered on March 5 and 6, 2025 in Heidelberg.
