Your own app without programming knowledge? SAP Build – a cloud service of the SAP Business Technology Platform (SAP BTP) – makes it possible. This provides companies with a user-friendly low-code/no-code platform that allows even non-developers to quickly and efficiently create customized applications and automations.
An international KPMG study shows that low-code/no-code development platforms are increasingly becoming the focus of companies under growing digitalization and innovation pressure. Many are currently facing the dilemma of having to react quickly to changes, but not having sufficient personnel resources to develop the necessary software solutions.
What Tools Does SAP Build Low Code Include?
With SAP Build, a collection of low-code and no-code tools, this balancing act can be mastered effortlessly. SAP Build includes intuitive drag-and-drop tools and pre-built components that allow users to automate business processes and develop innovative solutions without in-depth programming knowledge. This makes digital transformation accessible to everyone. As Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), SAP Build is hosted in the cloud and offers a user-friendly platform for the development and management of enterprise applications.
What Advantages Does SAP Build Low Code Offer?
Low-code platforms such as SAP Build offer numerous advantages over traditional development tools. The visual drag-and-drop interfaces shorten development and implementation times. Because business users can create applications themselves, the dependence on specialized developers is reduced. The ability to implement changes and adjustments quickly and easily leads to cost savings and strengthens the innovative power of companies. No additional applications need to be installed to use SAP Build Low Code. Access is via a web browser and enables flexible, cross-platform use.
What Components Does SAP Build Low Code Consist of?
- SAP Build Apps: This visual low-code tool enables both business users and professional developers to create enterprise applications without programming knowledge. With drag-and-drop functions and pre-built components, web and mobile applications can be developed quickly and efficiently. User interfaces are created via drag-and-drop, business logics are modeled graphically, and complex decision-making and logic processes are mapped. OData or REST APIs can be connected as data sources in order to use them in the app.
- SAP Build Process Automation: This low-code/no-code tool enables the creation, automation, and monitoring of business processes. Workflows can be created and customized visually by simply moving the objects in question to the desired locations with a mouse click and linking them with lines. Bots and AI components can also be integrated to automate tasks and decisions. Pre-built templates and connectors make it easier to get started. After creation, workflows can be tested, monitored, and continuously optimized.
- SAP Build Work Zone: This low-code tool can be used to create central entry points for business users. Drag-and-drop functions allow the development and customization of business sites. SAP Build Work Zone offers personalized, role-based access to SAP and external applications and enables the easy integration of enterprise applications. A modern, digital workplace environment increases user engagement and productivity.
- SAP Build Code: This is a development environment that integrates pro-code and low-code applications and enables the reimplementation, customization, and extension of applications through guided development processes. Existing SAP Fiori Apps can be extended, and user interfaces can be created by simply moving objects. The Joule Copilot supports developers in code generation using AI and natural language descriptions. Guided Development interactively guides you through the necessary implementation steps, while app templates accelerate the start and completion of implementations.
With SAP Build Low Code, even non-developers can create customized applications
Are there other Low-Code Tools Based on SAP BTP?
In addition to the low-code apps from SAP Build, the SAP BTP also includes SAP Datasphere and SAP Analytics Cloud for the interactive creation of reports and analyses with low-code.
SAP Datasphere offers low-code functions for the efficient modeling, transformation, and integration of data. Users can combine data sources from SAP, but also from third-party systems, and enrich the information content. Modeling is made possible by graphical editors.
SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) allows the creation of data analyses and reports with an intuitive drag-and-drop interface. To create reports, only the models from an SAP S/4HANA system or from SAP Datasphere need to be integrated. Based on the data, it is possible to quickly implement diagrams and tables for reports.
These low-code functions make SAP Datasphere and SAP SAC powerful tools for data analysis and visualization, supporting both technical and non-technical users.
