SAP Cloud Platform (SCP) was a platform as a service developed by SAP SE for creating new applications or extending existing applications in a secure cloud computing environment managed by SAP. The SAP Cloud Platform integrated data and business processes.[3] [4]

Overview

SAP Cloud Platform was an open platform-as-a-service,[5] which included the in-memory SAP HANA database management system, connects to both on premises and cloud-based systems running SAP or other third-party software and relies on open standards,[6] like Java, JavaScript, Node.js and Cloud Foundry[7] for integration options.

SAP and Apple Inc. partnered to develop mobile applications on iOS using cloud-based software development kits (SDKs) for the SAP Cloud Platform.[8] [9]

SAP Cloud Platform was based on open source technology, developed & supported in partnership with SUSE.[10]

The company worked with the Cloud Foundry Foundation for an offering of SAP Cloud Platform that enabled customers to test out and give feedback for the functionalities coming with Cloud Foundry.[11]

History

Initially unveiled as "SAP NetWeaver Cloud" belonging to the SAP HANA Cloud portfolio on October 16, 2012[12] the cloud platform was reintroduced with the new name "SAP HANA Cloud Platform" on May 13, 2013[13] as the foundation for SAP cloud products, including the SAP BusinessObjects Cloud.[14] Adoption of the SAP HANA Cloud Platform has increased steadily[15] since the platform's launch in 2012, with SAP claiming over 4000 customers and 500 partners adopting the SAP HANA Cloud Platform.[16] [17]

On February 27, 2017, SAP HANA Cloud Platform was renamed "SAP Cloud Platform" at the Mobile World Congress.[18]

On January 18, 2021, the name "SAP Cloud Platform" was officially removed from SAP's product portfolio to support SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP).[19]
