This module provides a structured introduction to the role, responsibilities, and technical landscape of an SAP BTP Solution Architect.

Learners begin by understanding the different types of architects involved in SAP BTP projects and how their responsibilities may differ across enterprise architecture, solution design, integration, data, security, and application development.

The module then introduces the fundamentals of SAP Business Technology Platform before progressing through its major capability areas: application development and automation, data and analytics, integration, artificial intelligence, and foundation services.

Rather than focusing only on individual products, the module helps learners understand how these capabilities can be combined when designing enterprise solutions that address real business requirements.

Successful enterprise transformation projects often involve several architecture roles, each approaching the solution from a different perspective.

This unit introduces the different types of architects who may participate in SAP BTP initiatives and helps learners understand how their responsibilities relate to one another.

Participants will explore the role of the SAP BTP Solution Architect and understand how solution architecture connects business requirements with technical capabilities.

The unit also helps learners recognize why architects need to collaborate across application, integration, data, security, infrastructure, and enterprise architecture disciplines when designing complex solutions.

By the end of the unit, learners will have a clearer understanding of where the SAP BTP Solution Architect fits within a broader transformation or implementation team.

Before designing solutions with SAP BTP, architects need a clear understanding of the platform itself.

This unit introduces the fundamental concepts behind SAP Business Technology Platform and explains how it provides capabilities that organizations can use to integrate, extend, automate, analyze, and enhance enterprise applications.

Learners will develop an understanding of the SAP BTP landscape and how different platform capabilities can be combined depending on the requirements of a particular business scenario.

The unit establishes the technical foundation required for the remaining architecture topics and helps learners begin thinking about SAP BTP as a collection of connected capabilities rather than a single product.

Modern organizations frequently need to extend existing applications, create new digital experiences, and automate repetitive business processes.

This unit explores the application development and automation capabilities available through SAP BTP.

Learners will understand how development and automation services can help organizations build extensions, create applications, streamline workflows, and introduce automation without unnecessarily modifying the core business system.

From an architecture perspective, participants will learn to think about questions such as whether a requirement should be handled through application development, workflow automation, extension, or another architectural approach.

The goal is to help future solution architects understand how development and automation capabilities can be incorporated into scalable enterprise solution designs.

Enterprise applications generate large volumes of valuable business data, but that data becomes useful only when organizations can access, connect, understand, and analyze it effectively.

This unit introduces SAP BTP's data and analytics capabilities and explains their role within enterprise architecture.

Learners will explore how architects can approach data access, data integration, analytical requirements, and business insights when designing SAP BTP solutions.

The unit also encourages learners to consider architectural questions around where data resides, how it is consumed, which applications need access to it, and how analytics can support better business decisions.

By understanding the relationship between operational applications and analytical capabilities, learners can design architectures that make business information more accessible and useful.

Most enterprise landscapes contain multiple SAP applications, third-party platforms, legacy systems, cloud services, APIs, and external partners.

Connecting these environments reliably is therefore one of the most important responsibilities in enterprise architecture.

This unit introduces the integration capabilities of SAP BTP and helps learners understand how different applications, processes, APIs, events, and data sources can be connected.

Learners will explore integration from an architectural perspective—considering which systems need to communicate, what information needs to move between them, and how integration requirements influence the overall solution design.

The unit helps participants develop a more structured approach to designing connected enterprise landscapes rather than treating individual applications as isolated systems.

Artificial intelligence is increasingly becoming part of enterprise application and architecture strategies.

This unit introduces the AI capabilities and services available within the SAP BTP ecosystem and helps learners understand where artificial intelligence can add meaningful business value.

Participants will explore how AI capabilities can be incorporated into enterprise solutions to support intelligent processes, improve decision-making, enhance user experiences, and automate selected business activities.

From a solution architecture perspective, the emphasis is on understanding where AI fits within the overall architecture, how it interacts with applications and business data, and how architects can evaluate AI capabilities against specific business requirements.

This provides learners with a foundation for designing enterprise solutions that can take advantage of AI while remaining aligned with broader architectural and business objectives.

Every enterprise solution requires a reliable foundation.

This unit introduces the foundation services that support SAP BTP solutions and helps learners understand why areas such as identity, security, connectivity, administration, monitoring, and platform management are important architectural considerations.

While application, data, integration, and AI capabilities often receive the most attention, foundation services help ensure that the overall solution can operate securely and reliably.

Learners will develop an appreciation for the cross-cutting architectural concerns that must be considered across an SAP BTP solution rather than addressed only after development has been completed.

The unit brings together the technical foundation needed to support a well-designed, manageable, and enterprise-ready SAP BTP architecture.
