Application lifecycle management (ALM)

ALM functions within core platform capabilities help organizations gain oversight of an application’s entire journey, from development and testing to deployment and monitoring. Continuous insights into application health and usage patterns, enhanced with AI-driven analysis, enable proactive maintenance.

Security

Centralized identity and access management protects critical business data in every corner of an organization. A consistent approach to authentication, authorization, and role-based access, strengthened through AI-powered threat detection, reduces disconnected security protocols.

Interoperability

Rapid connections enabled by the core platform capabilities for hybrid or multi-cloud environments and across SAP and non-SAP systems empower businesses to adapt and act quickly. AI-assisted integration insights help optimize connections and accelerate time to value.

Administration and operations

Core platform capabilities for admin and ops start with simple platform setup and configuration. Standardized tools and centralized controls across hybrid and cloud-native environments, combined with AI-driven automation and monitoring, reduce complexity and improve operations.

Frequently asked questions

The core platform capabilities are essential services and infrastructure that support SAP Business AI Platform. They’re the underlying elements that help make SAP Business AI Platform capabilities secure, scalable, and manageable across SAP and complex non-SAP enterprise environments. Core platform capabilities are designed to operate in multi-cloud and hybrid environments, so enterprises can deploy and manage applications wherever they make the most strategic and operational sense.

To access SAP Business AI Platform and use its core capabilities, you’ll need to set up an account in the SAP Discovery Center. From there, access the SAP BTP cockpit, enable and configure your services. You can then explore guided missions to walk through real-world use cases using the platform services and foundation capabilities.

The core platform capabilities include infrastructure, tools, and governance services to build, integrate, and manage applications. They’re broken down by how they’re used and where they operate, including instance-based services consumed through APIs for developers building custom applications, or subscription-based services that run independently with their own UI and are ready to use.

No, core platform capabilities are not strictly required to use every SAP Business AI Platform service-but they’re essential for a consistent, secure, and scalable experience across SAP. Some subscription or standalone services can be used independently, but organizations building or extending applications, integrating systems, or managing hybrid environments benefit from the core platform capabilities being involved.

All core platform capabilities are designed to meet the rigorous demands of enterprise-grade cloud operations. SAP approaches security and compliance holistically with protection embedded into every layer of the platform—from the platform infrastructure to application development to operations.

The core platform capabilities allow organizations to innovate fast by creating a stable, secure, and scalable environment. This allows teams to focus on experimenting, prototyping, building, integrating, and optimizing business solutions—rather than managing infrastructure. Core platform capabilities reduce operational friction, enable secure and compliant development, set up rapid integration and scalability, and underpin advanced technologies like AI and analytics.

The core platform capabilities don’t just support AI—they help make it possible. These capabilities provide the secure, scalable, and connected infrastructure that makes enterprise-wide AI adoption easier. This helps leaders make key decisions with unified insights instead of fragmented reports. Teams can confidently scale AI use cases in line with regulatory requirements, and organizations can deploy AI insights across departments without reinventing the wheel each time.

The core platform capabilities provide a unified, secure, and automated environment that supports high-performance, resilient, and compliant operations across diverse landscapes. With consistent governance across applications and services, a strong security posture, and seamless integration and orchestration, teams have more time and space to deploy new applications across global systems.
