WALLDORF, Germany, Dec. 8, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- SAP SE (NYSE:
SAP) today announced new tools, updates and services for making
developers' lives easier, regardless of skill level or job focus.
These new offerings include low-code/no-code tools, a free tier
model for SAP® Cloud Platform, exclusive free learning
opportunities and further updates to SAP Business Technology
Platform. The announcement was made at the SAP TechEd conference,
being held online December 8–10, 2020.
Extension Through Process Automation, Low-Code and No-Code
Tools
SAP Cloud Platform Extension Suite empowers developers
to build and extend business applications, processes and
innovations with clicks or code. With its latest enhancements, the
suite now offers three complementary and integrated process
automation tools, which address different skill levels and
automation scenarios:
- SAP Cloud Platform Workflow Management allows developers and
business experts to gain end-to-end process visibility, and to
configure and automate enterprise workflows in a low-code approach.
SAP Cloud Platform Workflow Management includes new predefined
content packages and integration with Experience Management
solutions from SAP and Qualtrics, combining operational and
experience data.
- The SAP Ruum solution allows business users with no coding
skills to create departmental processes in hours instead of days
and weeks. About 50 SAP customers and partners, including German
chemical company Evonik Industries AG, U.S. company Varian Medical
Systems Inc. and Norwegian furniture maker Ekornes Ltd., have
already joined the beta program for SAP Ruum. "With SAP Ruum,
Ekornes was able to model the process in about an hour, without
requiring a lengthy project with resources from our central team,"
said James Fogarty, an Ekornes
business operations analyst.
- SAP Intelligent Robotic Process Automation (RPA) 2.0 technology
targets developers looking to automate repetitive, manual tasks
with software bots. SAP Intelligent RPA includes prebuilt bot
templates to drive efficiencies with SAP S/4HANA® and 12 lines of
business. Beginning January 2021, SAP
plans to include a limited edition of SAP Intelligent RPA in every
SAP S/4HANA Cloud subscription.
Free Tier Model for SAP Cloud Platform
SAP in 2021
plans to offer developers a free tier model for SAP Cloud Platform,
the integration and extension solution for SAP Business Technology
Platform. The free tier model will provide users access to learn,
develop and implement integrations and extensions in one account.
It removes current time restrictions and allows users to transfer
projects to production without the need to rebuild content. As an
intermediary step toward the free tier model, SAP recently extended
its current SAP Cloud Platform trial offering from three to 12
months.
"SAP Business Technology Platform is key for our customers to
integrate and extend their SAP applications and to enable future
business," said Juergen Mueller, chief technology officer and
member of the SAP Executive Board. "As the cornerstone of SAP's own
transformation and accelerated shift to the cloud, it helps to
provide value to customers with a seamless technology experience, a
robust ecosystem and greater development efficiency. The ongoing
innovation to SAP Business Technology Platform underscores our
commitment to the developer community and the entire ecosystem of
customers and partners, and shows we are not only listening but
also acting on what we hear."
Integration Capabilities Updated
SAP Business
Technology Platform helps make it easier to share data across SAP
applications by providing SAP One Domain Model — a common data
model for business objects. It now supports its first business
objects for the end-to-end recruit-to-retire business process. More
business objects for other end-to-end business processes will
follow. Developers can access these through the SAP Graph software
beta offering or SAP API Business Hub.
The redesigned user experience for SAP API Business Hub helps
make it easier for architects and experts to identify relevant
integration content, such as APIs and events, integration packs and
user documentation. The update will be available as a beta shipment
by the end of 2020.
Data to Value: Make Confident, Timely Business
Decisions
To account for the tremendous increase in data
volume and variety, on-premise installations of SAP HANA® can now
be extended with SAP HANA Cloud as a hybrid data solution. This
offers users a single access point to data across SAP and non-SAP
sources while simplifying a customer's data environment, reducing
replication or inaccuracies, and increasing security and
compliance.
The SAP Data Warehouse Cloud solution unites the data
management capabilities of SAP HANA with the analytics features of
the SAP Analytics Cloud solution. Its new, easy-to-use data flow
builder allows users to integrate and combine structured and
semi-structured data from SAP and non-SAP sources. The expanding
business content library for SAP Data Warehouse Cloud includes
prebuilt content ranging from financial analytics, utilities and
automotive to retail, to help customers save time and effort
modeling their data.
