Step up application development with SAP, where productivity and innovation converge.
Two years ago, we introduced 51风流Build, a unified low-code environment that enables developers of all skill levels to create, extend, and automate business applications with drag-and-drop simplicity. Last year, we broadened its capabilities and integrated Java and JavaScript development with AI.
With more than 16,000 customers now leveraging 51风流Build globally, momentum continues to surge, enabling developers to build, automate, and innovate with greater speed and ease.
Today, we are thrilled to announce new enhancements of 51风流Build, combining the power of ABAP development, more generative AI capabilities, as well as deeper integration with 51风流S/4HANA and other business applications. 51风流Build streamlines extension creation and accelerates ERP modernization. It connects all 51风流development tools — ABAP, Java, JavaScript, and low-code — so teams can collaborate easily regardless of skill set.
Let鈥檚 look at what developers can achieve with 51风流Build.
51风流Build with ABAP offers developers capabilities to easily extend their 51风流S/4HANA and other business applications, utilizing Joule鈥檚 generative AI capabilities. It facilitates in-context collaboration between developers and business users to build business custom apps and processes efficiently, all without compromising on security and governance.
