SAP Cloud Platform
What is SAP Cloud Platform?
SAP Cloud Platform is the legacy name for an open platform-as-a-service (PaaS) used to develop and extend cloud applications. The platform provided core services and in-memory capabilities for building cloud and mobile-enabled applications.
Its scope included integrating data and processes from multiple sources across cloud and on-premise environments. Connectivity, collaboration, innovation, operational efficiency, scalability, flexibility, and adaptation outcomes depend on the selected services, architecture, data, integrations, security, implementation, adoption, and support model.
Current planning should translate SAP Cloud Platform references into the corresponding SAP Business Technology Platform capabilities, product names, licensing, availability, lifecycle, and operating responsibilities.
Legacy platform capabilities
Discover the Distinct Advantages of SAP Cloud Platform
These five platform themes help teams translate legacy SAP Cloud Platform references into current SAP BTP capabilities, architecture decisions, and operating requirements.
Seamless Integration
Connect appropriate cloud applications with on-premise systems using supported integration content and API orchestration. Compatibility, security, monitoring, ownership, and productivity effects must be validated.
Data Management Excellence
Use suitable in-memory data-management capabilities to work with transactional data and support timely insight, while preserving authorization, quality, lineage, privacy, resilience, and lifecycle controls.
Innovate Without Disruption
Extend existing applications within a governed platform framework. Maintaining operational stability requires clear boundaries, testing, release controls, compatibility, monitoring, recovery, and support readiness.
Elevate Digital Experiences
Earlier SAP Cloud Platform materials referenced Experience Maker for creating digital experiences. Confirm current SAP BTP capabilities, availability, licensing, accessibility, integration, and support before planning delivery.
