Business Technology Platform (BTP)
A platform layer for APIs, integrations, and data pipelines that connect core systems.
BTP provides shared services for identity, data, and integrations so products can ship faster. It orchestrates flows between apps like POS, CRM, ERP, and PMS.
Our platform page for BTP describes how to expose APIs and events while keeping governance, observability, and performance consistent. Typical components: API gateway, event bus, data warehouse/lake, identity/permissions, secrets, and CI/CD automation.
A solid BTP enforces standards (schemas, telemetry, SLAs) across domains, reduces duplicate integrations, and accelerates launches of new services, including embedded products like cards or payouts.
