When SAP unveiled the Business AI Platform at Sapphire 2026, it folded BTP, Business Data Cloud, and Business AI into a single governed environment. BTP didn’t disappear but became essential architecture underneath SAP’s agentic AI direction. A big part of the repositioning included cloud and AI enablement of existing systems, data and enterprise context: the cloud half of every hybrid SAP estate just got more capable and more strategic, and SAP Cloud Connector plays a central role.

A system refresh in SAP is the process of copying data, most often from Production, into a QA or test system so that testing happens against realistic, current data. Manually, it’s one of the most time-consuming recurring tasks a Basis team owns.

An SAP system is an installed instance of SAP’s business software that runs an organization’s core processes, like finance, supply chain, and HR, on a single, shared database. If you’re new to a company that runs on SAP, this guide explains what that actually means: what the software does, what an SAP system is made of, and why companies talk about DEV, QAS, and PRD like they’re three different things. They are.

Avantra 21 introduced the concept of Automation workflows. By Avantra 23, compatibility with Ansible was added. Along the way, Avantra became the tool SAP teams reached for when they wanted system copies, refreshes, and backup orchestration to just run - predictably, on a schedule, without a senior engineer babysitting them. So, automation isn't new to Avantra users. Avantra made automation for SAP practical to deploy, predictable in operation, and easier to maintain.

Drift Happens. Six months ago, your SAP landscape passed audit cleanly. Today? You couldn’t say for certain without a manual scramble across Basis, security, and infrastructure teams to reconstruct what’s true right now. You did exactly that for the audit, after all. That gap between “was compliant” and “is compliant” is where most SAP security programs quietly fail.

Since our firm first published the Cloud ERP (then it was “RISE”) F.A.Q., a lot has changed with SAP, the market, and adoption trends. It’s worth a revisit: how Cloud ERP is packaged and sold by SAP has changed significantly, as has our guidance for customers adopting the solution. Perhaps the most notable change is the maturity of the Cloud ERP Private and Public solutions.

If you’ve spent any time in the SAP ecosystem, you know the “Configuration Tax.” It’s that invisible, compounding fee paid in hours, manual effort, and caffeine. SAP teams pay tax every time new systems or integrations are brought under observability and management. For years, the industry accepted that observability required a heavy initial lift.

Most large enterprises elect a hybrid approach to SAP operations, but this is a more recent trend. And, as SAP operations professionals, we are still learning about the impacts of this choice and approach, even though it’s often the most sensible and pragmatic. Years ago, everything ran on-premises.

SAP customers with complex SAP know the challenges of managing multiple landscapes well. While classic tools like SAP Landscape Management (LaMa) and Focused Run served us well for years, they were built for a static, on-premises world. Now, with the 2027 end-of-support deadline for legacy solutions looming, the "fog" of hybrid management is getting thicker.
