By integrating SAP Business Suite with SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) and embedded AI capabilities, customers can access continuous innovation cycles while maintaining sovereignty across data, operational, technical, and legal dimensions. This ensures scalability and future-readiness for organizations across Europe.
