According to the SAP community, the SAP programming language Abap on the SAP Business Technology Platform, BTP, will become the defining ERP strategy.
Why should you take part now? In a contribution by PAC analyst Joachim Hackmann for the DSAG online magazine and Joachim Hackmann will be present in person at the Steampunk and BTP Summit in Heidelberg for questions and answers. Take advantage of this unique opportunity!

Why steampunk / BTP?
In the E3 magazine article, Christian Knell, Managing Partner at Snap Consulting, describes the importance of BTP:

Teaser

The future of S/4 Hana is still uncertain. SAP guarantees software maintenance until 2040, but until then and beyond? There are already numerous business and organizational challenges that cannot be solved with the standard processes of S/4 Private and Public Cloud.
Many existing SAP customers are about to transfer their Abap modifications to a future S/4 Hana system. What happens to the innovations from the Z namespace? Neither the SAP Private Cloud nor the Public Cloud provide satisfactory answers to this question. There are still media discontinuities in many SAP business processes and there is a lack of verified end-to-end scenarios. Third-party systems will continue to deliver external data to S/4 in the future. S/4 Hana will become an integrated part of a composable ERP over the next few years. Only with Steampunk and the Business Technology Platform can the successful Abap modifications, the development of new E2E processes and the orchestration of a Composable ERP be rescued.
The Steampunk and BTP Summit 2024 provides the answers regarding an ERP architecture including and beyond S/4 Hana, because the ERP world and SAP community will not cease to exist after 2040.

In a Composable ERP world, other laws will apply. The tools for this new world will be steampunk and BTP. The system design of a future ERP may be based on SAP components, but its essence will consist of composite IT solutions. Composability will define future ERP architectures. Platforms will become even more important because they stand for homogeneity. Composable ERP also has a little bit of cybernetics in it. It is about interrelationships between components. Composable ERP therefore does not mean that everyone does what they want, but that there will be a common understanding of context in the SAP community. This composability will be a principle of ERP system design and will be owned by the community. The discourse about an ERP after S/4 will not be conducted by SAP, but by existing customers in the community using tools such as Steampunk and BTP.
