Migration advisory completed ahead of Neo sunset
Before
Stuck on deprecated Neo
- SAP Cloud Platform Neo in use for integrations and cloud services, with SAP's deprecation deadline approaching.
- Internal team had the talent but needed a BTP expert who had already made this transition.
- Architecture had not been assessed against the new BTP standards and best practices.
After
BTP foundation in place
- SAP BTP services configured to replace the deprecated Neo environment.
- Architecture reviewed and clear recommendations in hand for the next steps.
- Internal team equipped to continue the migration independently.
Why this matters
A lean, targeted BTP advisory that shows how a focused expert engagement can unblock a migration that internal talent wants to own but needs a running start to execute.
The challenge
An Alberta-based oilfield services company was running its integrations and cloud services on SAP Cloud Platform Neo, a runtime SAP had announced it was deprecating. The team needed to stand up a proper SAP Business Technology Platform environment and retire the Neo setup before the deadline caught up with them.
They had the will and the internal talent. What they needed was someone who had already done this on BTP, could work side-by-side with their developers, and could assess what they had built so far and tell them where to go next.
What we did
Mindset placed a BTP-focused expert to work remotely alongside the company's own team. The engagement combined live knowledge transfer with practical, hands-on work: configuring BTP services, reviewing the existing architecture, and making specific recommendations for the path forward.
The work was structured as a time-and-materials advisory, keeping scope tight and giving the internal team full ownership of what got built. Every configuration and every recommendation was done with the client, not handed to them afterward.
The outcomes
The team left the engagement with a clearer BTP architecture, completed configuration that moved them off Neo, and a better internal understanding of the platform. The work gave them the foundation to continue the migration on their own terms, without outside dependency for each next step.
If we built this today
Concept · not delivered scopeRetire Neo without guessing.
This is a forward-looking concept, not the scope we delivered on this engagement. It is the build we would reach for now, grounded in SAP that ships today.
This engagement put a BTP expert next to the team to move integrations and cloud services off the deprecated Neo runtime, and in 2026 an agent can do the inventory and draft the rebuild while a human signs off on each flow.
The data product
Governed integration landscape data product
A governed data product on SAP Business Data Cloud that inventories your integration estate, what runs where, what depends on what, and what is still tied to Neo. It grounds the agent in the real shape of your landscape instead of guesswork.

The Joule agent
iFlow Health Watcher
It reads your existing integration flows, destinations, and runtime dependencies, then flags every Neo-bound artifact and proposes the equivalent build on the modern BTP Cloud Foundry runtime. It drafts the migration order so nothing breaks downstream.

The Fiori app
SAP Integration Suite, Cloud Integration
This is platform work, not a single S/4HANA Fiori tile, so the honest answer is the Integration Suite Flow Builder inside BTP, where Joule now helps draft and review iFlows. It reads a legacy Neo flow and suggests the Cloud Foundry equivalent.
Built in BTP Integration Suite, not the S/4HANA launchpad.
We would mine the current integration flows in SAP Signavio, map old runtime against new in SAP LeanIX, and let MIND accelerators carry the working Neo logic onto modern BTP.
What we built
-
Neo replacement environment configured and ready
BTP environment setup
Configured SAP BTP services to replace the existing SAP Cloud Platform Neo setup, establishing the modern runtime foundation.
-
Documented recommendations for the full transition
Architecture review and recommendations
Assessed the company's existing BTP architecture and produced specific guidance on what to change, what to keep, and how to sequence the remaining migration work.
-
Internal team capable of owning the next phase
Embedded knowledge transfer
Worked side-by-side with the internal team throughout, sharing BTP expertise in context so the team could continue independently after the engagement.
-
Clear migration path from Neo to Cloud Foundry
Neo migration roadmap
Identified the steps required to retire the deprecated Neo environment and move all services to the current BTP runtime.
