Ukrainian Product Companies can Enter the Global Market through the SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) and the SAP PartnerEdge, Build Program

Ukrainian technology companies can help customers become intelligent enterprises by creating innovations based on a platform for integration, automation, extension, and the development of business applications enhanced with intelligent services — SAP BTP. They can also bring their own solutions to the global market and publish them in the SAP Store — a marketplace that currently offers more than 2,700 solutions, has generated over 373,000 customer orders, and serves customers in more than 180 countries worldwide, providing Ukrainian partners with direct access to SAP’s global customer base.

Ukraine has been an important part of the global SAP ecosystem for many years — not only as a customer market, but also as a strong hub for developing technology solutions. Opportunities for Ukrainian product teams and application developers have expanded even further through the SAP PartnerEdge, Build partnership and the tools provided by the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP).

Product teams gain access to the following opportunities:

• development of proprietary solutions on SAP BTP;
• completion of the Solution Review (ARC);
• publication of solutions in the SAP Store;
• access to SAP’s global customer and partner network.

SAP PartnerEdge, Build is a fast track for bringing products to the global market through the SAP Store.

Solution Requirements:

• the product must be market-ready (developed, tested, and ready for sale to customers);
• Application Readiness Check (ARC): a review of the partner solution’s architecture and confirmation of its readiness is a mandatory part of the application process.

Business Requirements:

• an annual business plan that includes a go-to-market strategy, sales pipeline, and growth forecast.

How to obtain SAP PartnerEdge, Build Status

The process consists of two stages:

• Open Ecosystem Build (free) — entry level

Participation is available only to registered companies (not individuals). This level provides access to the partner community, community forums, and self-service tools, and is suitable for companies that want to explore SAP BTP.

• SAP PartnerEdge, Build (€2,000 per year) — commercial status

This level enables partners to:

— complete the ARC (architecture review and technical readiness confirmation) and enter international markets;
— publish solutions in the SAP Store;
— gain access to SAP’s global sales channels;
— participate in joint marketing activities.

After completing the ARC, the company undergoes due diligence, signs the partnership agreement, and gains access to full partner status.

A structured SAP BTP Onboarding Guide is available via the link. It helps companies start working with the SAP Business Technology Platform quickly and correctly.

The document explains the key steps — from initial preparation and creation of a global account to configuring subaccounts, access rights, services, roles, and development and integration environments.

This guide effectively serves as a roadmap for organizations implementing BTP. It provides step-by-step instructions on how to avoid common setup mistakes, optimally structure resources, and quickly begin working with applications, analytics, automation, and integration within the SAP ecosystem. The guide significantly simplifies onboarding and ensures more efficient use of the platform’s capabilities.
