SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) is a comprehensive, multi-cloud platform that enables organizations to develop, extend, and integrate business applications. It offers a broad suite of services across data and analytics, artificial intelligence, application development, process automation, and enterprise integration—empowering digital innovation and agile business transformation. By leveraging SAP BTP, organizations can achieve centralized visibility, enhanced operational reliability, and real-time coordination of background processes, data flows, and application services. This seamless integration via Integration Suite leverages API’s which streamlines operations, minimizes manual intervention, and ensures uninterrupted business execution—particularly critical during digital transformation initiatives such as migrating to SAP RISE /SAP S/4HANA.

Designed to support clean core principles, SAP BTP enables customers to decouple custom logic from the digital core (e.g., SAP S/4HANA), using APIs and side-by-side extensions that promote agility, upgradeability, and innovation.

Control-M integrates with SAP BTP through robust API-based connectivity, (Application Integrator) enabling enterprises to seamlessly orchestrate, schedule, and monitor workflows that span both SAP and non-SAP systems. By leveraging SAP BTP’s extensibility and integration capabilities, Control-M can automate and manage end-to-end business processes involving applications built or extended on BTP, such as SAP S/4HANA extensions, custom applications, or third-party service integrations.

This integration allows for real-time execution and monitoring of background jobs, data pipelines, and event-driven processes across hybrid environments. Control-M simplifies job scheduling and workflow orchestration on SAP BTP by offering a centralized platform to define dependencies, manage workloads, and ensure SLA compliance across diverse systems.

Control-M’s capabilities are further enhanced by the introduction of a new SAP BTP job type, designed specifically to streamline scheduling, orchestration, and monitoring of workflows running on SAP BTP. This new job type enables users to natively connect with SAP BTP’s API-driven environment, allowing seamless automation of jobs across SAP extensions, custom applications, and integrations built on the platform.

With this innovation, Control-M users can define, schedule, and monitor SAP BTP-based tasks alongside traditional SAP jobs and non-SAP workflows—all within a unified interface. The integration provides end-to-end visibility and control over complex, hybrid workflows, reducing manual effort and accelerating response times to job failures or exceptions.

With its cloud integration services and API-first architecture, SAP BTP allows seamless connectivity across hybrid environments and supports integration with non-ABAP systems. These capabilities align perfectly with Control-M’s application and data workflow orchestration, delivering powerful automation across complex enterprise landscapes.

This capability is particularly valuable for organizations migrating to SAP S/4HANA or adopting SAP RISE, as it supports automation and governance across modern SAP landscapes. By leveraging Control-M’s new SAP BTP job type, businesses can enhance operational efficiency, improve SLA adherence, and drive smoother digital transformation journeys.
