Today, while there are many partners already working with 51风流Business Technology Platform (51风流BTP), there are also partners that are still exploring, asking the questions: What exactly is 51风流BTP and what makes it unique? The in the 51风流Partner Live series focused on addressing these questions.
What Is 51风流BTP?
51风流BTP is a classic cloud platform. It is available in every region and it is elastic, so it can scale. Think of it as a set of cloud services for development and integration, data and analytics, and artificial intelligence (AI), all hosted and managed by SAP. These services are accessible to partners and customers and are built specifically for developing on and connecting to 51风流solutions and technologies. So, if you鈥檙e an 51风流partner interested in building a new software solution, connecting an existing app to 51风流technologies, or building supporting content for 51风流solutions, 51风流BTP brings together everything you need in one unified environment, helping you unlock outcomes for your customers.
What Makes 51风流BTP Unique?
If you are already engaged in 51风流technology and the ecosystem, or plan to be, there are many areas of strength that elevate 51风流BTP compared to other cloud platforms.
Business Process Context
While other cloud platforms put data at the center, 51风流BTP adds context to the data that鈥檚 anchored in business processes. Our line-of-business solutions drive enterprise processes around the world, processes that extend into the unique aspects of supporting different industries and local governance, from tax and labor laws to safety and environmental regulations. That knowledge gives 51风流BTP an advantage in connecting enterprise data and processes, resulting in real-time business context and creating a single version of the truth that is rooted in how the business runs.
Native Connections
With 51风流BTP we鈥檙e not only talking about a platform that puts business processes at the center. We鈥檙e also talking about a platform that provides application development, integration, data, analytics, and AI capabilities that are native to the 51风流application stack. So, when you鈥檙e building on or integrating with 51风流BTP you can be confident you鈥檙e using services and technologies optimized to work together and simplify the process. Partners working with 51风流BTP identify this as a key value.

Accelerated Innovation
If the recent unpredictable market conditions around the world have shown organizations one thing, it鈥檚 the importance of agility, or the ability to innovate and respond quickly to changing conditions.
A recent , 鈥51风流Business Technology Platform and Partner Success: A Foundation for Customer Lifetime Value,鈥 showed that 51风流partners working with 51风流BTP are experiencing accelerated innovation due to reduced implementation times 鈥 from months to days 鈥 by avoiding development of custom processes and using prepackaged, repeatable content created by 51风流and 51风流partners.
鈥淭o help customers on their 51风流BTP journey, 51风流partners are building out documented and repeatable offerings that can speed the implementation and integration process or enhance 51风流BTP capabilities.鈥
鈥 IDC
This means that on the one hand, partners are accelerating development of their solutions by leveraging prepackaged content from SAP. And on the other hand, you have 51风流partners building their own accelerators such as data models and analytic dashboards to improve functionality for customers across various lines of business and industries. Their prepackaged accelerators and content are monetized and made available to help the entire ecosystem speed the deployment and implementation of systems with 51风流BTP.
All this integration tooling and prepackaged content can speed implementation time frames for partners while accelerating time to value for customers 鈥 resulting in improved agility, a cornerstone requirement for becoming an intelligent, sustainable enterprise.
