Use Cases and Deployment Scope

To create SAPUI5, CAP applications. We like the way is easier to generate and configure new applications but i think i should be useful to be able to generate apps manually in some cases and not just wizard way to do it, but i am really happy with this solution

Pros

Easy way to generate apps from scratch
guided way to configure services

Cons

provide more complexity features in wizard way to generate apps

Return on Investment

time save to create apps

Usability

SAP Build with low code capabilities helped with invoicing processing program fixes and some HR functions. We definitely recommend this for other media clients and would be great fit considering business processes and other reasons

Pros

Fixed Asset acquisitions
Invoice Processing
Periodic closing
Master data Processing
Integration

Cons

User friendly
SAP assistance
AI capabilities
Adaptability

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

SAP Build offers two products. One is LCNC approach and I have predominantly used SAP Build Apps for POC purpose, and I can re-use the same POC to develop it into a full UI5 app. It works well for citizen development. Similarly, I have been using SAP Build Code for developing enterprise ready full stack apps by leveraging Node.js and UI5 apps. Now Joule got integrated too with SAP Build. This speeds up our innovation and automate our business processes using SAP Build BPA. SAP Build Work-zone is another webhost that manages the users on cloud and it helps for the team where sap access is not required. Overall, SAP Build is becoming robust and providing everything that business user needs.

Pros

SAP Build Workzone is a cloud ready service that it can provide access to users over cloud. It really liked it because for Non-SAP users they don't need to have seperate logins to access SAP systems
SAP Build LCNC helps to create an app either from scratch or take reference from existing apps and develop on top of it
SAP Build Code is pro-developer tool helps for creating enterprise ready web apps

Cons

More Gen AI features we can provide in SAP Build
Prompt templates should be provided in SAP Build by default to create complex business automations
Joule Demos can be integrated into SAP Build

Return on Investment

ROI is good when more users are using SAP Build Workzone
Yet to explore Joule in SAP Build
SAP Build Code has good capabilities to use Joule along with the development
