Advantages of SAP BTP
Thanks to semantic integration and contextualization, customers can immediately use the data from SAP applications without losing the business context and business significance of the data. This leads to faster time to value and lower total cost of ownership.

SAP BTP’s available business content packages and use cases include more than 3,300 APIs, more than 260 data and analytics packages, more than 2,600 preconfigured integrations, and more than 300 SAP Process Automation packages with business rules, data models and more.

- Automation: SAP HANA cloud deployment provides automated processes to quickly set up and configure HANA systems, reducing time-to-market.
- Scalability: With SAP HANA Cloud Provisioning, companies can easily scale their SAP HANA instances as needed to adapt to increasing workloads or user demands.
