BTP stands for Business Technology Platform, which is a comprehensive platform offered by SAP that provides tools and services for developing, integrating, and extending SAP applications. It includes various services such as database and data management, analytics, application development, integration, and intelligent technologies like artificial intelligence and machine learning.
On the other hand, “Cloud platform” is a more generic term that refers to the infrastructure and services provided over the internet for hosting applications, data storage, and computing resources. In the context of SAP, the SAP Cloud Platform (SCP) is SAP’s platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offering. It provides a platform for running, developing, and managing applications in the cloud.
While BTP is a specific platform offered by SAP, the term “cloud platform” refers to a broader concept of platforms available on the cloud. SAP Cloud Platform is a part of the larger BTP offering, providing a deployment option for SAP applications and services in the cloud.
