SAP SE announced the launch of a powerful new offering to drive the next wave of business transformation by unleashing the expertise of those who know best – business users – at the SAP TechEd conference. With SAP Build, business users have direct, secure access to the end-to-end processes, data, and context they need to make better decisions and spur innovation more quickly. SAP Build draws on the distinctive depth and breadth of the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). The solution enables business users with little technical knowledge to create and augment enterprise applications, automate processes, and design business websites with drag-and-drop ease.
Juergen Mueller, member of the Executive Board and Chief Technology Officer of SAP, said, “SAP Build brings together the world’s most powerful business applications with a platform that’s been designed to rapidly unleash business users’ expertise. In a volatile business landscape, SAP Build and the full suite of innovations we’re launching today – from our new partnership with Coursera to enhancements across our enterprise portfolio – help customers future-proof their business and extract maximum value from their technology investments.”
SAP Build gives business users access to the full power of SAP BTP and SAP business application data. Without moving their data into an external system, users can easily integrate systems, intelligently monitor, analyze, and automate processes, and build applications for the final mile of innovation. SAP Build users get in-depth visibility into all their processes with SAP Signavio solutions natively integrated, so they know where to focus to achieve the greatest impact as they innovate and automate. SAP Build is also compatible with non-SAP systems. Furthermore, the new SAP Builders program assists users in quickly ramping up and connecting with their peers through hands-on sessions and forums for sharing best practices.
Arnal Dayaratna, Research Vice President, Software Development, IDC, said, “Given that the demand for contemporary digital solutions is greater than the ability of professional developers to supply them, IDC envisions that business professionals will become increasingly involved in initiatives to create digital solutions to solve pressing business problems. Worldwide, IDC expects more than 100 million business professionals will become involved in the production of digital solutions over the next ten years. SAP Build’s low-code development solutions empower business users to harness their domain expertise to rapidly build and iterate on digital solutions at scale.”
