How does SAP BTP empower its ecosystem?

SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) empowers its ecosystem primarily by teaming up with general-purpose AI platforms and large language model (LLM) providers. This collaboration enhances the capabilities of SAP's offerings and enables customers to leverage advanced technologies that drive innovation and improve decision-making.

By integrating these AI and LLM capabilities, SAP BTP allows organizations to harness data insights, automate processes, and enhance user experiences through intelligent applications. The partnership with external tech experts expands the technological breadth and depth available to users, fostering innovation across various industries and use cases. This alignment with cutting-edge technologies also facilitates a broader ecosystem where third-party developers and business partners can build applications that complement SAP's solutions, thus driving overall business value and agility.

In contrast, cutting costs for customers, while beneficial, does not inherently empower the ecosystem in the same way that leveraging partnerships with AI entities does. Providing robust infrastructure is essential but is more about foundational capabilities rather than ecosystem empowerment. Promoting only in-house developed technologies would limit collaboration and innovation, which contradicts the essence of a thriving and empowered ecosystem that BTP aims to create.
