Displays in this Material
LESSON OBJECTIVES
After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
● Explain how the recent rebranding displays in this material
Rebranding
Rebranding Information
Throughout the text and the figures, rebranding references shall be understood as follows:
All existing SAP Cloud Platform services are/are being renamed with the ‘SAP’ branding. On
the product level, the SAP Cloud Platform services are organized into two suites, renamed to:
SAP Integration Suite and SAP Extension Suite.
Background
SAP Cloud Platform evolves
Our cloud platform is one of the core pillars powering SAP Business Technology Platform
(SAP BTP) and has become a key element within our broader platform offering, rather than a
stand-alone offering. Its strong integration and extension capabilities are now available as
services that run on SAP BTP. These capabilities are now called SAP Integration Suite and
SAP Extension Suite.
Application Development and Integration
Application development and integration capabilities, previously available in SAP Cloud
Platform, are now cloud services that run on SAP BTP – providing users with a cloud
environment to develop, manage, extend, and deliver applications.
Enterprise Application Integration
SAP Integration Suite, an integration platform as a service (iPaaS), enables users to
implement data, application, API, and process integration projects involving any combination
of cloud-resident and on-premise end points.
Application Development and Extensions
SAP Extension Suite services can help you build and enhance your solutions, optimize your
business processes, and create an engaging digital experience. With more than 80 services
available, SAP can help you boost development productivity and efficiency.
SAP Integration Suite and SAP Extension Suite are powering SAP Business Technology
Platform
As a pivotal part of SAP’s Business Technology Platform portfolio, SAP Integration Suite and
SAP Extension Suite are the integration, extension, and innovative building of business
applications with agility, flexibility, and choice, formerly known as SAP Cloud Platform

[email protected]Unit 1: About this Handbook
Integration and SAP Cloud Platform . It lets customers integrate, extend, and innovate their
data, processes, and apps, and enables partners to bring unlimited innovation to the
ecosystem:
SAP Integration Suite
Provides ready-built integration technology and content for SAP and non-SAP, for cloud
and hybrid architectures, which help our customers to integrate everything, everywhere,
by supporting a wide variety of synergic integration approaches.
SAP Extension Suite
Provides an cohesive set of services and tools to create and run processes and
applications that integrate easily and securely with any SAP system, helping developers
and process experts to be efficient, and to create the best possible digital experiences
across all channels.
Multicloud Readiness
While the SAP Integration & Extension Suites focus on solving dedicated business needs,
the underlying foundation offers a secure, multicloud, future-proof underpinning that
embraces all major hyper-scaler infrastructures and cloud-based, native technologies.
Frequently asked Questions
What is happening with the SAP Cloud Platform brand?
We are removing SAP Cloud Platform as a brand name. However, the technical capabilities of
SAP Cloud Platform will remain as important as ever. Concretely, this means the services
under the former SAP Cloud Platform brand continue to exist, just without “Cloud Platform”
in the name. For example, “SAP Workflow Management” and “SAP Enterprise Messaging."
How does cloud platform align with SAP Business Technology Platform?
As SAP Business Technology Platform has progressed, we have found it better for our
customers to align our integration and extension capabilities to one platform. Our integration
and extension capabilities are key to powering SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP).
These capabilities, along with database and data management, analytics, and intelligent
technologies, are critically important components of our holistic platform that complement
SAP and third-party applications to deliver agile and comprehensive digital transformation in
the cloud.
What happens to our existing customers that are using SAP Cloud Platform?
We are sunsetting SAP Cloud Platform as a brand name; however, the integration and
extension capabilities of SAP Cloud Platform will continue to be available as products and
services under SAP Integration Suite and SAP Extension Suite. The functionality for our
customers will remain unchanged. What customers will notice will be the changes in the
service wherever the brand name “SAP Cloud Platform” is currently being referred to.
What is the impact on SAP Cloud Platform Trial and SAP Cloud Platform Cockpit?
Going forward, the trial will be renamed SAP BTP trial and the cockpit will be renamed SAP
BTP cockpit. There is no change in capabilities or user experience in the trial and the cockpit.

Lesson 1
Choosing the Matching SAP Workflow Solution
LESSON OBJECTIVES
After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
● Discuss the common challenges of business process execution
● Choose the matching SAP Workflow Solution for your business scenario
Why Workflow Management?
Figure 1: Why Workflow Management?
The character of a business process is, that it includes several steps of work to be performed
by several process participants in the correct order and time making use of different sorts of
information. This is a complex task which leads to multiple challenges. These challenges can
be:
● Finding the correct order of tasks to be executed.
● Finding the correct assignees for tasks.
● Storing process related information and making it accessible to other process
participants.
● Facilitating easy communication between process participants.
● Monitoring process execution times and deadlines.
● Ensuring process transparency and accessibility.
● Ensuring process flexibility.

[email protected]Unit 2: Introduction
● Ensuring reliable handling of exceptions.
● Providing process statistics and visibility.
A workflow management system like SAP Workflow Management can solve all of these
challenges. It is especially useful, when a process:
● Contains a number of activities that need to be managed.
● Has more than one person or system responsible for execution of tasks.
● Needs coordination between process participants.
● Is regularly recurring.
● Is standardized.
SAP Workflow Solution Portfolio
Figure 2: SAP Workflow Solution Portfolio
Spanning across the SAP product portfolio, there exists an array of Workflow solutions, each
tailored to specific needs.
The SAP Business Workflow is a workflow engine in SAP S/4HANA and originates in R/3. It
has been adapted and enriched over the years and still covers many business process use
cases in the ERP space. As this solution resides inside a SAP system, it mainly covers
business processes, that do not expand across a big landscape of heterogenous systems.
For these use cases, the solutions covered under SAP Process Orchestration have evolved.
They can be used to orchestrate on-premise processes across systems.
Apart from the core ERP product, many complementary cloud solutions have joined the SAP
product portfolio, each bringing their own workflow solutions with it. In order to facilitate SAP
on its mission to deliver the Intelligent Enterprise, the SAP Workflow, together with related
technologies, was added to the solution portfolio. It offers a single interface for the
development of cross-system and cross-landscape business processes, that can connect and
integrate on-premise and cloud products.
The process modeling solutions allow companies to gain a comprehensive view of their
processes and to manage them holistically.
