You can use the Cloud Portal service on SAP BTP, Neo environment to quickly and easily create business sites that are fully integrated with SAP Fiori launchpad.

We recommend to create your sites only with Launchpad design. Dive deeper into our learning material on SAP Cloud Portal service for the Neo Environment:

What is the Future of SAP Cloud Portal Service ?

Existing SAP Cloud Portal service customers can continue using the portal service on the Multi Cloud environment – there is no end of support date for the portal service. See also the road map in the Road Map Explorer. The launchpad experience of the portal will continue to be enhanced over time with new capabilities. Freestyle sites are not planned to be enhanced.

If a customer would like to transition to other services on SAP BTP, we recommend to evaluate a transition to SAP Build Work Zone:

  • Customers who implemented launchpad sites can consider a transition to SAP Build Work Zone, standard edition.

  • Customers who implemented freestyle sites can consider a transition to SAP Build Work Zone, advanced edition (note that there is no real feature parity between freestyle sites and SAP Build Work Zone).
