Low-Code and No-Code Development with SAP BTP: Empowering Business Users

In today's fast-moving digital world, businesses need to innovate quickly. But let’s be honest—traditional software development can be slow, expensive, and requires highly skilled developers. This makes it hard for non-technical users to actively contribute to building solutions. This is where SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) comes in, offering low-code and no-code (LCNC) development tools that allow business users to create applications with little to no coding experience.

What is Low-Code/No-Code Development?

Low-code and no-code platforms simplify application development by using visual, drag-and-drop interfaces instead of complex coding. These platforms help teams prototype quickly, bring ideas to life, and empower business users—sometimes called citizen developers—to take charge of their digital transformation.
