Introduction
SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) is not just the foundation of all of SAP’s cloud services and products, it’s also SAP’s recommended platform for custom app development. To say it’s critical to understand its capabilities to ensure your business’s success is an understatement.
SAP BTP enables businesses to build, deploy, and manage applications that leverage SAP technologies and data and can integrate with other systems. It offers countless capabilities that your business needs, like database and analytics services, integration features and even predefined content, artificial intelligence, and security.
But while SAP Business Technology Platform offers numerous benefits to your business operations, it isn’t always the easiest to operate, nor the easiest to predict its costs for your operations. For example, SAP BTP doesn’t offer one comprehensive toolset for app development, but several technology stacks, services and development tools which are not integrated into each other. This means that your IT needs to have the bandwidth and skill sets to be able to build and maintain apps, making it a high-maintenance and high-cost endeavor.

That’s where Neptune DXP comes in. It’s not a replacement for SAP BTP, but it optimizes and complements SAP BTP to fit your specific needs when it comes to rapid application development. When you combine SAP BTP and Neptune DXP, easier and faster app development and new opportunities are just around the corner.
Through Neptune DXP, businesses are able to build apps that go beyond SAP BTP’s templates. It has no-code application building blocks as well as low-code templates that anyone with access can use to create apps you need when you need them. Providing you true no-code and low-code features within the same app development process.
To innovate at speed, your legacy SAP systems have to be simplified. While SAP BTP can do a lot of things, at the end of the day, it is only cloud-based. With Neptune DXP, you can manage on-site pain points in the cloud or on-premise, something SAP BTP cannot do yet.
