SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP)
SAP BTP is the integration, extension and innovation platform that sits alongside SAP S/4HANA and Business One — enabling companies to connect SAP and non-SAP systems, build custom applications with low-code tools, and embed AI and automation into business processes. 2iSolutions has been building on SAP Cloud Platform (now BTP) since 2005, and has developed four proprietary products on it: DealerConnect, ShopConnect, SupplierConnect and ServiceConnect.
Four capabilities unified in one platform — integrate, extend, build and run
SAP BTP is not a single product — it is a platform that combines integration services, application development tools, data management and AI capabilities. Most organisations use BTP for one or two of these pillars initially, then expand as the use cases become clear.

Four proprietary products we built on SAP Cloud Platform — now SAP BTP
The strongest proof of BTP capability is what you have already built on it. 2iSolutions has developed four industry solutions on SAP Cloud Platform — deployed at customers across automotive, high tech, CPG, manufacturing and engineering — that extend SAP S/4HANA with capabilities the core system doesn't deliver out of the box.
DealerConnect
Dealer and channel partner management built on SAP BTP — secondary and tertiary sales visibility, dealer inventory tracking, scheme and incentive management, and field force activity. Deployed for automotive, high tech and CPG manufacturers who need to see sell-through across their distribution network, not just primary sell-in. Used by Kriti Industries (18% sales improvement, 98% satisfied channel partners).
ShopConnect
Real-time shop floor tracking built on SAP BTP — machine and production unit visibility, label printing and barcode integration, IMEI/serial number registration at assembly, and batch record management. Connects the shop floor to S/4HANA in real time, closing the gap between what production teams know and what the ERP knows. Deployed across discrete manufacturing, high tech and textile customers.
SupplierConnect
Supplier collaboration portal built on SAP BTP — delivery confirmations, quality documentation, certificate of analysis and supply forecasts shared in real time between manufacturers and their raw material suppliers. Replaces phone calls, emails and manual data entry at goods receipt with a governed, connected supplier data exchange. Deployed across chemical, CPG and engineering customers.
ServiceConnect
Post-sale service and warranty management built on SAP BTP — warranty entitlement tracking, authorised service centre management, spare parts inventory, service ticket resolution and AMC contract management. Each service event tied to the product's serial number and service history. Deployed for high tech manufacturers managing large after-sales service networks.

Core capabilities of SAP BTP
SAP BTP's six core capabilities address the challenges that organisations face when trying to connect, extend and innovate on top of their existing SAP landscape.
Low-Code / No-Code (SAP Build)
Developers and non-technical users design and build custom applications quickly with SAP Build's visual tools — accelerating innovation and reducing dependence on specialist development resources for every new digital process.
Seamless Integration (Integration Suite)
SAP Integration Suite connects SAP and third-party applications through pre-built connectors and API management — replacing fragmented point-to-point interfaces with governed, monitored integration flows across the entire IT landscape.
Real-Time Data (HANA Cloud + Datasphere)
SAP HANA Cloud and SAP Datasphere provide real-time, governed access to critical business data — giving analytics tools and custom applications the fast, accurate data foundation they need for reliable insights.
AI & Process Automation
Integrated AI, machine learning and robotic process automation capabilities embedded in BTP — available to SAP applications and custom extensions without requiring separate AI platform investments.
Scalable Multi-Cloud Architecture
BTP runs on hyperscaler infrastructure (AWS, Azure, GCP) and supports on-premise, cloud and hybrid deployment — scaling with business growth while maintaining performance, flexibility and operational continuity.
Enterprise Security & Compliance
Identity and access management, data encryption, audit logging and industry-standard compliance controls built into the platform — essential for organisations in regulated industries extending their SAP core systems.
What SAP BTP delivers for the business
Unified Platform for Innovation

21 years building on SAP Cloud Platform — and now BTP
Our four proprietary products — DealerConnect, ShopConnect, SupplierConnect and ServiceConnect — are deployed at live customer sites across India and internationally. They are not demos; they are production systems running daily operations.
SAP BTP: frequently asked questions
What is SAP BTP and what does it do?
SAP Business Technology Platform is SAP's cloud platform for integration, application development, data management and AI. It sits alongside SAP S/4HANA, Business One and other SAP systems — enabling organisations to connect systems, extend SAP with custom applications, and embed AI and automation into business processes without modifying the core ERP.
How is SAP BTP different from SAP S/4HANA?
SAP S/4HANA is the core ERP — managing finance, procurement, production, sales and logistics. SAP BTP is the platform layer that extends and connects it — building applications on top of S/4HANA data, integrating it with non-SAP systems, and providing the development tools, AI services and data management capabilities that S/4HANA doesn't include natively.
What is SAP Integration Suite and when do organisations need it?
SAP Integration Suite is BTP's integration service — connecting SAP and non-SAP applications through pre-built connectors, APIs and event-based integration. Organisations need it when they have multiple systems that currently exchange data through manual processes, batch file transfers or fragile point-to-point interfaces. It also replaces the on-premise SAP PI/PO middleware for organisations moving to cloud integration.
What can be built on SAP BTP with SAP Build?
SAP Build enables low-code application development (SAP Build Apps), workflow and RPA automation (SAP Build Process Automation), and employee work portals (SAP Build Work Zone). More complex extensions — like 2iSolutions' DealerConnect, ShopConnect, SupplierConnect and ServiceConnect — are built using pro-code tools on BTP's Cloud Foundry and Kyma runtimes.
What is SAP HANA Cloud and how does it relate to BTP?
SAP HANA Cloud is the managed in-memory database platform on BTP — the data foundation for SAP Datasphere, SAP Analytics Cloud and custom BTP applications. It provides the fast, governed data layer that enables real-time analytics and intelligent applications. For organisations running SAP S/4HANA on-premise, HANA Cloud on BTP enables cloud-based analytics and data sharing without migrating the entire ERP.
How does 2iSolutions' experience with BTP benefit customers?
We have built and deployed four production applications on SAP BTP — DealerConnect (channel management), ShopConnect (shop floor MES), SupplierConnect (supply chain collaboration) and ServiceConnect (after-sales service). This means our BTP consulting comes from a team that has designed, built, deployed and supported real BTP applications — not just implemented others' products. When we advise on BTP architecture, we speak from firsthand development experience.
Want to integrate, extend or innovate on your SAP landscape with BTP?
