SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP)
Cloud-native extensions. Cleanly integrated.
Developed to be future-proof.
SAP BTP is the key to expanding SAP systems in a targeted manner while maintaining the stability of the SAP standard and implementing innovations. We support customers in designing, developing and operating cloud-native applications and enhancements on the SAP Business Technology Platform, from initial architecture to productive use.
Our focus:
Side-by-side development, clean architectures, maintainable solutions and sustainable integration into existing SAP landscapes.
Typical challenges
Many companies face similar questions when using SAP BTP:
There are no binding guidelines for distributing roles between SAP CAP, ABAP Cloud (RAP), Fiori/UI5 and CDS, which has consequences for maintainability, scalability and upgradeability.
Unclear demarcation around the SAP core:
The distinction between standard, extensions and custom development is unclear, which poses risks to stability, maintainability and release capability.
A fragmented UI landscape:
Different UI approaches, such as Fiori Elements, freestyle UI5 and Angular, are used in parallel without a consistent UX or architectural concept.
SAP BTP developments are carried out without clear DevOps, tooling, and operating models – which impairs time-to-market and operational reliability.
Low reusability:
Services, data models and UI components are created on a project-specific basis rather than as reusable, scalable building blocks.
Unclear transition from PI/PO to Integration Suite:
The historically grown interface landscape is closely linked to SAP PI/PO. The switch to Integration Suite raises questions about migration, target architecture and future operation.
Without clear guidelines, SAP BTP quickly becomes a testing ground rather than a stable platform.
Your added value – our approach
As a customer, you benefit from SAP BTP development that takes a holistic view of your SAP landscape. Extensions are created where they make sense in the long term – outside the SAP core, cleanly integrated and updateable.
Instead of isolated solutions, you get a clear architecture that enables innovation without compromising stability and maintainability. Technology decisions are based on specific use cases – whether SAP CAP, ABAP Cloud, Fiori/UI5 or Angular – thereby reducing complexity and technical debt.
Cloud-native development approaches, clear DevOps structures and consistent UI standards ensure that your solutions not only work today, but also remain expandable and operable tomorrow.
Expand rather than bend
Innovation without compromising SAP Core
- Clear side-by-side architectures instead of risky core modifications
- Use technology that fits the use case – not out of habit
- Future-proof extensions for S/4HANA (on-premise & cloud)

- Establishment of monitoring, logging and error handling concepts for the stable operation of complex integration landscapes
- Support in the transition from classic interface development (e.g. PI/PO) to cloud-native integration and toolchains
Side-by-Side Extensibility
We implement clean extensions outside the SAP core to balance standard stability and innovation capability.
Scope of services:
- Consulting and development of customised extensions for S/4HANA (on-premises & cloud)
- Implementation of side-by-side scenarios on SAP BTP
- Decoupling of standard, custom development and release cycles

Application examples on SAP BTP
The SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) enables the development of cloud-native applications and enhancements, as well as the integration of specialised services into existing SAP landscapes. The following examples demonstrate how SAP BTP can be utilised to implement functional enhancements in a standardised, scalable and clean-core-compliant manner.
QUANTO Transliteration Center (QTC)
Cloud-based transliteration service for SAP and third-party systems
The QUANTO Transliteration Centre is a cloud-native service on SAP BTP, implemented with SAP CAP, APIs and container-based runtime, and is integrated side-by-side into existing SAP systems. The service handles rule-based transliteration and harmonisation of name and address data for international business processes.
Added value:
Centralised, consistent data processing while decoupling complex logic from the SAP core.
Side-by-side application for field service
Global field service management as a side-by-side app on SAP BTP
A side-by-side application was implemented on SAP BTP for an internationally active customer, based on SAP CAP, Fiori Elements, APIs and a scalable microservice architecture. The application integrates SAP and third-party systems for planning and executing maintenance, recalls and software updates, is designed for global rollout and supports role-based access.
