In most industries and sectors, there are often additional, highly specific requirements beyond the central business processes that are common to all companies.

These solutions are developed by SAP and partner companies on an open platform, the SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP). They are compatible with SAP S/4HANA and are integrated and used via the Industry Cloud and API interfaces.
Additionally, SAP has continuously expanded the offering of SAP Best Practices for various industries with SAP S/4HANA, and many of the previous industry solutions have already been integrated into the standard. Today, Best Practice standards are available for most industries, addressing even highly individual requirements.
