SAP deleted the product and brand name "SAP Cloud Platform" at the beginning of 2021.
The SAP Cloud Platform had been around since 2012, initially as SAP HANA Cloud. The SAP Cloud Platform was a platform for extending and integrating on-premise or cloud systems. It was a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) solution.
Via the SAP Cloud Platform, companies and SAP users could, for example, develop new applications and apps - such as in the area of the Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning or blockchain. The open platform thus served as an innovation platform because companies could use it to launch entirely new cloud-based applications.
All of this is still possible. The diverse extension and integration functions of the SAP Cloud Platform remain and are now available via the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP).
The services are now divided into two suites:
Together with other offerings of the BTP (database management, intelligent technologies, etc.), the two offerings now form the basis for the digital transformation of companies in the cloud.
