SAP Cloud Platform Learning Resources
Hello everyone!
SAP Cloud Platform is evolving very quickly to catch more and more real business challenges. To support better SAP Cloud Platform adoption SAP colleagues, dedicated to the learning topic, work hard to keep aligned product evolution and documentation, help and learning paths.
In my role as Customer Engagement Executive spread learning resources is an important part, so I decided to dedicate this short post and video to explain in a simple way current Learning offer.
Before to enter in-depth about learning offering I want to share with you very cool news!
Learn by practice ! I can imagine that you know that SAP offers interesting Trail with SAP Cloud Platform at https://account.hanatrial.ondemand.com/, but the news is that now you can use
Starter Scenarios that allows you to make your trial experience much easy and pleasant. You reach it immediately by the landing page. Moreover, at the of the landing page you can find an interesting section: Learn the Basic. Thanks to my colleague Otilia Marinescu that inspired me to share with you this important news. You can read her article: Your new and improved SAP Cloud Platform trial experience.
Now back to my personal view about learning topic that for simplicity I divided the whole content into 2 macro-areas: STRUCTURED APPROACH and UNSTRUCTURED APPROACH.
STRUCTURED APPROACH:
- SAP Cloud Discovery Center: 4 different missions: Onboarding Mission, Platform Mission, Partner App Mission, Serviced Mission;
- SAP Learning Journey: an easy way to access to learning content for free and for pay for administrator, developer and consultant;
- OpenSAP: a complete course on SAP Cloud Platform for free with the chance to certify your competence(Included in SAP Learning Journey)
UNSTRUCTURED APPROACH:
- SAP Cloud Platform web site: the starting point to know the power of SAP Cloud Platform;
- SAP Cloud Platform – Customer Success Portal: this is the help portal made by SAP Cloud Platform Expert;
- SAP Cloud Platform Community: in this site you can get in contact with a lot of news, experiences, experts and users
- Developer Center: where a developer can enjoy accessing to tutorials, resources, trials & download and app space;
and don’t miss to watch my video !
Thank you and enjoy with SAP Learning and SAP Cloud Platform !

nice, thanks for sharing this, Luigi!
Great post!
Outstanding post. Very useful to see all resources in a single place.
Hi,
As most of the customers are prefering to have S/4 HANA on premise , so what is the future of SCP ? is there any place that where i can see that who are the customers that has hosted SAP products ( S/4 HANA , BW/4 HANA etc.,) on SCP ?
Thanks
Hello,
my personal opinion is that SCP will be going well in the future. SCP is the "glue" to realize a real Intelligent Enterprise. Further information regarding SCP roadmap you can check this link: https://www.sap.com/products/roadmaps/finder-all.html and search SAP CLOUD PLATFORM.
You can check from yourself how many enhancements we have planned to deliver.
Regarding your specific question, I don't know how many S/4 HANA customers are hosted on SCP,
I am a post-sales guy to help the customer to adopt SCP, but I invite you to get in contact with your usual SAP or SAP Partner contacts.
Regards,
Luigi
Hello LUIGI DE SIATI
Thank you for sharing resources.
I'm still a bit confuse with the developer portal and tutorial, especially when I would like to find my path with SCP NEO/Cloud Foundry and the required XSA (HANA Extended Advanced) to fullfill some of those tutorials (group or series).
Could you provide some tips and tricks in order to start "properly" and not to be stuck with "uncommon" requirement ?
I mean, I was not able to fullfill this series for example, because of some XSA missing component or configuration https://developers.sap.com/group.hana-xsa-sqlscript.html
Thank you
