Suits Blog: SAP Low-Code: Build Apps Faster, Reduce Developer Workload

Enterprises need apps faster than ever, but IT teams are already stretched thin. SAP low-code offers a solution. With Neptune Software, companies can build Fiori apps quickly, customize SAP processes, and reduce developer workload—all while accelerating digital transformation.

Introduction

‍The demand for individual digital business process developments is skyrocketing. SAP low-code technology emerges as a crucial solution to simplify your S/4HANA conversion.

‍Promoting Custom Code and Digital Transformation With SAP Low-Code‍

‍‍Digitalization and digital transformation face significant challenges due to complex IT landscapes, data silos, and decentralized data storage. Wherever the standard doesn’t fit, companies need to find a quick and easy way to stay competitive, while relying on their processes. The need to develop custom SAP applications is increasing, yet a daunting task. Thankfully, powerful SAP low-code platforms make this much easier. They require minimal coding, support with ready-to-use application building blocks and enable users from different departments to collaborate in mockups to then create applications without overwhelming the IT department.

Efficient Development With Visual Interfaces and “Drag and Drop” Functionality

‍Gone are the days of relying on complex programming languages. SAP low-code solutions provide intuitive visual interfaces and “Drag and Drop” functions, enabling departments to act more efficiently and productively. This reduces dependence on IT resources and external service providers, eliminates the need for extensive requirement definition and documentation, and removes coordination constraints with developers. The modular nature of an SAP low-code platform ensures high investment security.

Economic Benefits for IT Departments, Securing the S/4HANA Investment

Improved planning and reduced reliance on specific development requests enable IT departments to operate more economically. SAP low-code platforms offer various approaches to support the development and maintenance of individual SAP applications, including UI5-based Fiori applications, even during an S/4HANA conversion. These applications can continue to be maintained using an SAP low-code platform post-migration, minimizing development debt.

Enhancing Efficiency Over Time With Neptune Software’s Low-Code Development Platform

‍With graphical modeling tools, developers no longer require extensive knowledge of HTML5 or JavaScript. ABAP developers can leverage SAP’s strategic technology stack to create custom apps and provide business functions as APIs. This agile way of working allows for continuous adaptation to new requirements and enables optimization opportunities, transforming IT into a strategic business asset that boosts competitiveness. Streamlining the digitalization roadmap establishes a solid foundation for implementing digitalization strategies and ensuring seamless interaction among infrastructure components. The long-term economic benefit of using a low-code platform, like Neptune DXP, lies in comprehensive reductions in development, administration, and maintenance costs. Apps developed using Neptune DXP can be flexibly deployed in on-premise, container, and cloud environments, guaranteeing long-term flexibility and adaptability.
