Session Overview

SAP BTP as the Foundation for Partner SaaS Solutions
Explore the strategic foundations of building partner-grade multi-tenant SaaS on SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP). This session distills architectural choices, development approaches, and operational lessons learned from taking three solutions from concept to live availability on the SAP Store. Rather than a deep dive into any single technology, we focus on the abstractions that matter across products: how to think about tenancy models and boundaries, how to align identity and authorization with enterprise expectations, how to shape data and service contracts for safe extensibility, and how to sustain lifecycle agility as solutions evolve.
If you’re shaping a partner SaaS portfolio or guiding a product from pilot to a repeatable, multitenant offering, this session offers concise guidance grounded in practice yet broadly applicable. You will leave with a crisp checklist of considerations to accelerate your path on SAP BTP—clarity on what to prioritize, what to postpone, and how to use the platform as a durable foundation for sustainable growth.
Three Tangible Learnings
Learning 1: Advantages of multi-tenancy
Learning 2: Strategic alignment with SAP long-term vision
Learning 3: Lessons learned while implementing multi-tenant solutions
Taking Development to the Next Level With AI-Infused Development Strategies
Unlock a new velocity in software delivery by infusing AI across your development lifecycle. This session explores practical strategies for AI-assisted engineering, showing how to move from isolated experiments to integrated, team-scale impact.
We’ll dive into AI pair‑programming workflows with tools like Cursor and Cline, highlighting patterns for code generation, test authoring, refactoring, and automated documentation that hold up under real‑world constraints. A key focus is combining these editors and agents with official Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. You’ll see how MCP unlocks safe, pluggable access to repositories, build systems, SAP documentation & design systems – so AI assistants propose changes that compile, conform, and ship.
Whether you’re modernizing SAP extensions or scaling greenfield microservices, this session equips you to make AI a dependable teammate—turning code, context, and compliance into compounding delivery gains.
Three Tangible Learnings
Learning 1: From AI experiments to team-scale
Learning 2: Robust AI pair‑programming workflows
Learning 3: Leveraging SAP-released MCP servers
