SAP BTP Governance refers to a systematic set of rules consisting of clearly defined roles, processes and standards that enable the secure, efficient and cost-effective operation of SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). It is particularly indispensable when SAP BTP is used company-wide – across teams, locations and business units. The more complex the landscape, the greater the need for control, security and efficiency. SAP BTP Governance creates transparency, reduces risks, enables scalability and forms the basis for innovation with control.

SAP BTP Governance is not a theoretical concept, but addresses specific challenges that companies face when using SAP Business Technology Platform.
Lack of overview due to the large number of subaccounts
Unclear responsibilities for subaccounts, apps and tenants
Security risks due to insecure accounts or apps
Lack of entitlements so that services cannot be used
No cost transparency and no resource monitoring
Duplication of work and lack of reuse due to lack of uniform standards
Low development speed due to lack of automation and DevOps approaches
Unclear responsibilities in the event of app failure
We are very familiar with these challenges from numerous customer projects – whether it's setting up sustainable role and authorization concepts, implementing compliance requirements or establishing central control mechanisms. We therefore also know how companies can best overcome them.
Which subaccounts, services and systems are in use?
Which Cloud Connectors and Cloud Identity Service Tenants are there?
Which licenses, contracts and hyperscalers are in place?
How is the system landscape connected?
How do the teams currently work? Who is responsible for what?
What use cases, processes and expectations are there?
Which documents and tools are available?
A transparent overview with specific recommendations for action on architecture, connectivity, security, guidelines and naming conventions
a governance strategy & roadmap
a consolidated architecture and landscape overview
operating models, responsibilities and processes
A clear target picture of governance, responsibilities, operating processes and system landscape
Setting up a structured SAP BTP landscape
Establishment of a platform team (Center of Excellence, CoE)
Automation, establishment of technical and organizational standards
Role and authorization concepts
Development of simple control structures for costs, security and compliance
Implementation of topic-specific workshops, e.g. on identity & authorization and other governance key issues
A sustainable governance structure has been established – with a clear account structure, a central platform team (Center of Excellence), well thought-out authorization concepts and technical and organizational standards. Costs, security and compliance can be managed using suitable control mechanisms.

Companies ensure the optimized operation of SAP BTP in the long term and also benefit from sustainable development, controlled platform operation and a high degree of flexibility.
Clearly defined responsibilities improve coordination between IT, business departments and development teams.
Thanks to clean account structures, clear conventions, targeted use and consistent monitoring, companies can maintain an overview of SAP BTP usage at all times.
Clean role and authorization concepts, lifecycle management and the logging of security-relevant activities not only ensure better protection, but also make it easier to comply with internal and external requirements.
Reusable templates, clear architecture specifications and DevOps approaches accelerate projects on SAP BTP.
A central platform team (CoE) ensures control – and at the same time enables agile development in the business departments.
Documented standards, clear processes and regular reviews ensure the long-term and future-proof operation of SAP BTP.
