The BTP discourse at SAP Basis: on-prem and cloud always need a stable foundation

The SAP system landscape and infrastructure with basic support should be maintained and secured more than ever. Cloud computing is not a license to neglect automation, security or AI.

Basis architecture is the IT structure on which an SAP system is based. The task of SAP Basis is to ensure the smooth operation of all SAP systems in the company. External help is always required. The business, organizational, technical and licensing tasks can be solved together if there is a discussion about these challenges.

In 2023, E3 Magazine has decided to discuss the tasks of an SAP Competence Center in a face-to-face event in order to find solutions together. The discourse is an essential prerequisite for the S/4 conversion and the use of BTP, because this time it is about much more than a technical release change.

A few weeks ago, an SAP BTP Partner Summit took place in Heidelberg. We will discuss the results and implications with Christian Knell from SAP partner Snap Consulting. What, how and where is the SAP Business Technology Platform and what benefits does this platform bring to existing SAP customers?

An experienced SAP Basis support team should know the specific challenges and offer SAP users customized solutions to meet the growing requirements. The development and implementation of automation solutions ensures more efficient processes for monitoring the system landscape, regular system copies or industry-specific processes at application level. This enables customers to save time and money and free up resources for important tasks.

Topics such as automation, monitoring, security, multilingual documentation, testing, application lifecycle management, training and education and ultimately the question of the best possible architecture for an S/4 and BTP system will be the focus of the 2024 Summit.

The added value of the event in Salzburg lies in the discussion with experts and SAP partners. The exchange of experience is an essential part of S/4 conversion and BTP customizing.

The transition from AnyDB to Hana, the challenges of a database platform in combination with the SAP Business Technology Platform, the optimization of business processes, the CAP and RAP programming models - the list of topics for the summit in Salzburg is almost endless. The fact is that the SAP community will have a very high demand for information and discussion with Hana, S/4 and BTP.
