The numbers vary. Some say 18%. Some say over 60%.

Either way, the issue remains. Many (or most) people pay for a gym membership but then never use it.

The added monthly expense is one thing. The unrealized improvement in health and wellness is another.

Unrealized SAP Potential

A similar story of unrealized potential happens in the SAP world.

At SAP Sapphire 2024, SAP said that customers aren’t consuming $600M in (or nearly 25% of) Business Technology Platform (BTP) credits.

SAP BTP

BTP gives businesses a path to accelerate their digital transformation. SAP BTP credits provide access to the tools you need to enhance your business processes with integration, development, and automation.

By using the BTP credits you might already have, you can build vital integrations and extend functionalities using data and interactions from multiple sources from your IT stack.

Why Do BTP Credits Go Unused?

Some reasons we see customers not be fully consuming BTP credits:

  • They have a limited BTP strategy or lack the experience to launch one.
  • They are unsure of how to track BTP credit use.
  • Their contract has more BTP credits than they currently consume.
  • BTP credits are included in their Cloud Platform Enterprise Agreement, but the IT team hasn’t created a strategy to use them yet.

Don’t Lose Them

Underused or ignored SAP BTP Credits can cost you and your business valuable opportunities for growth and efficiency. These credits are not perpetual. They expire, meaning timely action is essential to maximize their benefits.
