SAP BTP Certifications
Video Tutorials
As advertised, the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) brings together data and analytics, artificial intelligence, application development, automation, and integration in one, unified environment. The platform includes many different product and services bundled in distinct portfolios. For some of these services, one or more certifications are available.
In this article, we cover the SAP Certified Application Associate – SAP Analytics Cloud certification.

Over the years, for the SAP HANA Academy, SAP’s Partner Innovation Lab, and à titre personnel, I have written a little over 300 posts here for the SAP Community. Some articles only reached a few readers. Others attracted quite a few more. For your reading pleasure and convenience, here is a curated list of posts which somehow managed to pass the 10k-view milestone and, as sign of current interest, still tickle the counters each month. |
