Many mid-market organizations continue to struggle with disconnected applications, manual processes, and limited integration between critical systems. While SAP Cloud ERP provides a modern operational foundation, SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) is increasingly becoming the catalyst that enables organizations to innovate, automate, and move faster than their competitors.
Key insights include:
- A unified technology landscape: SAP BTP helps mid-market companies break down system silos by connecting SAP and non-SAP applications, ensuring data flows consistently across the business without creating custom code dependencies.
- Process automation that drives efficiency: Workflows that once required manual intervention—such as approvals, reconciliations, or cross-system updates—can be automated through BTP tools, reducing delays and improving overall operational responsiveness.
- Extensions without technical debt: Instead of modifying the ERP core, organizations can build lightweight, side-by-side applications on SAP BTP that deliver tailored functionality while preserving a clean upgrade path for SAP Cloud ERP.
- Maximizing cloud entitlements: Many businesses are unaware that their SAP Cloud ERP subscription includes BTP credits. When properly activated, these entitlements can support high-impact initiatives—such as dashboards, integrations, or automation—at no additional licensing cost.
- Partner-led enablement: Working with a knowledgeable SAP partner like Forgestik ensures organizations can identify quick wins, activate unused capabilities, and deploy SAP BTP in a way that aligns with real business objectives rather than isolated technical projects.
