Extensibility Definition Low Code/No Code CAPEX Demo
We looked at the paradigm of
LCNC capabilities and spoke
about SAP Intelligent RPA and
SAP Workflow Management as
two examples that empower
non-technical users to build
their own automated
extensions.
We saw how our customers
build their own processes
adapted to their very specific
needs with clicks instead of
code.
Key takeaways
We defined the concept of
“extensibility” and looked into
how customers can easily build
and deploy custom processes
and application thanks to SAP
BTP capabilities.
