Don’t underestimate the skills gap factor. BTP requires SAP-specific knowledge - ABAP Cloud, CAP model, SAP-specific APIs. Your integration team needs to learn a new platform. MuleSoft or Boomi use more standard technologies like REST, JSON, and visual flow design that are transferable skills. We’ve had trouble hiring BTP developers versus middleware developers. That affects your total cost of ownership beyond just licensing fees.
