Since SAP announced the creation of BTP, we have been discussing it, and our decision, for now, is to try the new platform and see how we like it. I suspect things can go in two ways - we either remain using the features of SAP Cloud Platform through BTP and even use more of the company's products, or we get overwhelmed by having everything in one place. I get that they want to offer an all-in-one, but they have too many products to do that and not be confusing. I like this solution and what it offers us, so I hope they make it work somehow, but there are plenty of similar ones on the market. The competitors of SAP may benefit from this change if the clients start choosing alternative ways.
We will likely continue to use the features of SAP Cloud Platform. I read that SAP did this because they aim to become a unified platform for all of their applications, and they started with SAP BTP. This does not bother my company as we use many of this brand's products in our work so we will continue using them, no matter what they are called. I do not think it will make a huge difference, just removing the brand name. The capabilities remain, and I guess some may be improved to attract more clients. I doubt it will turn users away though I think it may be confusing for new ones.
