What is SAP BTP Cockpit and how can it help you?
If we were to describe today’s and tomorrow’s industry, the only mantra would be that change is the only constant. With so much changing so rapidly, leading companies must be able to manage it and adapt flexibly. SAP BTP is one of the essential tools you need to cope with these changes.
What is the SAP Business Technology Platform?
The SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) comprises a range of enterprise applications for data and database management, analytics, integration and extension within a single platform for hybrid and cloud environments, including hundreds of pre-configured integrations for SAP and third-party applications, according to SAP’s official definition.
SAP’s new platform for managing the intelligent enterprise is the German company’s strongest and most determined commitment to cloud technologies.
Originally known as SAP Cloud Platform, it was renamed to update all SAP cloud technologies and unify them under a single platform (More information about SAP Cloud).
The SAP Business Technology Platform is based on four clearly defined pillars:
- Databases and data management
- Analytics
- Application development and integration
- Smart technologies
Furthermore, SAP BTP enables the integration of other SAP and non-SAP tools to create specific solutions for particular markets or industries.
SAP Business Process Intelligence
Within BTP, you can also incorporate Business Process Intelligence (BPI). BPI enables you to automate continuous improvement tasks by easily discovering, modeling, and simulating processes.
SAP BTP offers a range of licensing models. Pay-as-you-go modell an, which will be the preferred model for SAP BTP alongside the existing consumption-based CPEA (Cloud Platform Enterprise Agreement).
With Pay-As-You-Go, there are no upfront payments: you only pay when something is actually consumed, which has a positive effect on the company’s flexibility.
What is SAP BTP Cockpit?
These enterprise applications can be configured and managed via a central web-based user interface called SAP BTP Cockpit.
This tool allows you to manage resources, services and security, monitor application metrics and perform actions for cloud applications.
Key challenges in cloud projects
We can’t discuss SAP BTP without mentioning the advantages of cloud projects. Consider the challenges you’ll face when choosing the cloud.
- Cost efficiency: In the cloud, you only pay for what you use, and you can minimize your investments in hardware and IT services.

- Simplicity: Forget about managing servers and updating software – the simplicity of the cloud can be a major competitive advantage.
- Availability: If you want to access your services around the clock, from any location and any device, the cloud offers high availability.
