By adopting SAP® Business Technology Platform, you can maintain everything that makes your business great as you scale and grow with efficient processes, data insights, and intelligent technologies.
INFUSE YOUR BUSINESS WITH INTELLIGENCE-DRIVEN CAPABILITIES In the early days of a business, employees seem to work in lockstep with insight gained from close customer relationships and collaborative engagement.
However, as the workforce grows, customer base expands, and sales volume soars, such operational strengths can break down quickly without the right support. With SAP Business Technology Platform, you can establish the digital foundation necessary to keep up with rising demand for your goods and services – regardless of your budget, workforce size, and digital skill. The platform for application innovation, integration, and extension provides a unique and comprehensive set of technology and business services. Your company can innovate with SAP Business Technology Platform to build, personalize, extend, and connect business applications as well as leverage intelligent technologies that are the right size for your business. Additionally, you can acquire the agility, focus, and insight necessary to respond to change and keep customers engaged.
Designed to scale with your business, SAP Business Technology Platform supports and integrates all SAP and third-party back-end software systems, covering everything from employee engagement and customer experience to finance, procurement, and the digital supply chain. SAP Business Technology Platform allows you to develop, run, and manage applications without the complexity of building and maintaining the infrastructure typically associated with developing and launching an app by delivering services such as:
Workflow efficiency and speed are critical to the sustained expansion and profitability of a growing company, especially when competing with startups and more-established brands. To stay competitive in today’s high-pressure, ever-evolving economy, businesses need unified processes that offer consumer-grade user experiences to engage employees as well as business partners and customers. In essence, they need to embed intelligence throughout their operations, processes, and business.
SAP Business Technology Platform can help support and adapt your applications and intelligent scenarios – such as the IoT, machine learning, and predictive analytics – with secure and scalable connectivity and integration across complex, multivendor, and hybrid landscapes. You can process high volumes of real-time data to automate processes while uncovering insights and enabling fast decision-making.
SAP Business Technology Platform enables the agile development of applications to support the specific needs of your business. Your innovations can include cloud-based applications that connect your collaboration networks, integrate your data sources, and harmonize end-to-end processes across applications. For example, you can quickly build an application that runs on iOS and Android devices to allow your field service agents to get the information they need when they need it and report any updates in real time. Your representatives can access the application with their mobile devices to log support tickets, review customer updates, and send queries to appropriate experts. You can also empower them with social tools such as the SAP Jam™ collaboration platform, as well as critical business data, to increase visibility and engage diverse customer interaction channels. This is just one of a limitless range of scenarios that you can innovate and roll out with SAP Business Technology Platform. By using secure, scalable, agile applications while preventing information silos, your business can gain an unprecedented level of agility and speed to scale operations quickly and competitively today and for years to come.
