ERP is Easy

Hello friends, welcome back to my blog. In this post, we will discuss SAP Build – The new low-code / no-code tool to create applications on SAP BTP.

Introduction to SAP Build

Traditionally, developing an application meant writing extensive lines of code in various programming languages. However, SAP Build eliminates the need for coding. SAP Build is a powerful low-code app development and automation platform that enables you to create apps, automate processes, and design business sites with intuitive drag-and-drop functionality.

The low-code or no-code app development technique has existed since the 1980s. But over the past decade, low-code and no-code tools have experienced significant growth and advancements. Many large software vendors and startups have entered the market, offering various platforms with varying complexity and capabilities.

It’s important to note that SAP Build is an integral part of the SAP Business Technology Platform, also known as SAP BTP.

SAP Build has three components. They are SAP Build Apps, SAP Build process automation and SAP Build work zone. Let’s take a look at them one by one.

First, SAP Build Apps: Empowering Visual Development

In 2021, SAP acquired AppGyver, a Finland-based company specializing in no-code solutions. SAP Build Apps is an evolution of AppGyver’s technology. Here are some of the key benefits that SAP Build Apps offer:

• Visual Development Platform: Users can build applications without writing a single line of code.
• Extensive Component Library: Access a wide range of pre-built components to quickly and easily create applications.
• Seamless Integration: Connect your applications to SAP data and services effortlessly, thanks to its integration with SAP’s cloud platform.
• Affordability: SAP Build is a low-cost solution, making it accessible to businesses of all sizes.

SAP Build Process Automation: Streamline Workflows

SAP Build Process Automation empowers business users to automate workflows and tasks seamlessly without the need for coding. This comprehensive solution combines workflow management, robotic process automation (RPA), decision management, process visibility, and embedded AI capabilities within an intuitive interface.

SAP Build WorkZone: Engaging Business Sites

SAP Build WorkZone combines the capabilities of SAP Launchpad and SAP WorkZone, creating a unified solution that rapidly creates engaging and personalized business sites. With SAP Build WorkZone, you can design and build company portals and other business websites quickly and without writing code.

Is SAP Build replacing ABAP developers?

SAP Build is not intended to replace ABAP developers. While SAP Build is an excellent platform for developing code-free applications, it does have certain limitations. It may not be suitable for building applications that require complex business logic, multiple conditions, and loops. SAP Build aims to empower business users and non-technical stakeholders to quickly create simple business applications without relying on traditional coding practices.
