SAP has announced the launch of SAP Build, a powerful new low-code offering to unleash the power of business users. SAP Build empowers SAP users with minimal technical expertise to create and augment enterprise applications, automate processes, and design business sites with drag-and-drop simplicity.
Launched during SAP TechEd conference being held this week in Las Vegas, US, SAP Build draws on the unique depth and breadth of the SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP). The aim is to put SAP’s enterprise technology in the hands of business users, giving them direct access to the end-to-end processes, data and context they need to make smarter decisions and drive innovation quickly.
Introducing SAP Build in the Middle East, Zakaria Haltout, Managing Director, SAP UAE, said, “We believe this will be a game changer for business users in the region. With SAP Build, our customers will be able to extract maximum knowledge from their technology investments, shorten time-to-value for new applications and future-proof their businesses. As countries in the region continue to pursue their rapid digital transformation goals, there is a need for business experts at all levels to become more involved in developing technology solutions. This will ensure that companies’ digital goals are fully aligned with their business goals, and that their technology solutions are tailored to suit the needs of their specific company and industry as well as our region’s unique market conditions.”
With SAP Build, business users have the full power of SAP BTP and business application data from SAP at their fingertips. Users can easily integrate systems; intelligently monitor, analyse, and automate processes; and build applications for the last mile of innovation – all without moving their data into an external system. With SAP Signavio solutions natively integrated, SAP Build users also get in-depth visibility into all their processes, so they know where to focus to achieve the greatest impact as they innovate and automate.
SAP Build also works with non-SAP systems. And the new SAP Builders programme helps users ramp up quickly and connect with their peers via hands-on sessions and forums for sharing best practices.
Partnership to develop tech talent
In addition to the launch of SAP Build, the SAP’s TechEd conference saw SAP announcing its commitment to upskill two million developers worldwide by 2025 by tripling its free learning offerings on the SAP Learning site, partnering with Coursera to help people launch careers within the SAP ecosystem, and empowering underserved audiences in technology.
Elaborating on SAP’s new entry-level professional certificate on Coursera, CEO of Coursera, Jeff Maggioncalda, said, “This certificate is designed for learners of all backgrounds, with no college degree or industry experience required. It will prepare learners for entry-level job roles and in some of the most in-demand fields. We’re honoured to partner with SAP to increase access to job-related skills and to expand economic opportunity for everyone.”
