This GigaOm Benchmark report commissioned by SAP.
In this GigaOm benchmark study, we compared SAP Build to a traditional custom development approach, measuring its impact across various dimensions, including development time, cost, and ease of use.
SAP Build is a comprehensive platform for business application development and automation that unifies low-code, professional coding, and AI capabilities. It further provides advanced production runtime capabilities to enable sophisticated applications that are responsive and resilient.
At its core, SAP Build empowers organizations to create enterprise-grade applications through an integrated suite of tools. The platform’s centerpiece, SAP Build Code, Is a turn-key environment for coding, testing, integrations, and application lifecycle management that leverages generative AI through the Joule copilot to streamline development processes. It offers specialized optimizations for Java and JavaScript applications, leveraging the foundational Cloud Application Programming (CAP) model, which is a framework of languages, libraries, and tools for building enterprise-grade cloud applications using proven best practices. This combination of visual development tools, AI-assisted coding, and high-level abstraction of enterprise services and best practices enables both citizen developers and professional programmers to efficiently deliver business solutions.
