SAP PartnerEdge® Marketplace Embraces No-Code With Betty Blocks

There are certain challenges for business and IT that are present across most industries at the enterprise level. Many IT departments are stuck just keeping the lights on, whilst business-side employees see their ideas for new processes, products, or services, go to the bottom of the ever-growing backlog.

This often leads to a misalignment between business and IT, and to the emergence of shadow IT. It also means that organizations are prevented from having the agility they need to respond to today’s rapidly changing markets. In short, these sorts of challenges stifle innovation and increase the risk that an organization will fall behind the competition.

Betty Blocks is fundamentally a citizen development platform, meaning you can use it as both a no-code and a low-code platform. The platform’s visual, drag-and-drop interface means citizen developers can build advanced applications in an environment governed by IT. On the other hand, experienced developers can take advantage of the platform’s ‘escape hatch’ and use code to customize blocks or even create new blocks from scratch.

This versatility effectively enables you to combine SAP and low code, or SAP and no code, depending on your needs. However you choose to do it, Betty Blocks gives you the ability to rapidly build enterprise-grade applications that connect to on-premise, hybrid, or cloud solutions.

In the Betty Blocks platform, you can easily connect to your SAP database. There is a connection block available in the Betty Blocks Block Store.

Betty Blocks is available on SAP® Store, the digital marketplace for SAP partner offerings. SAP recently merged SAP Store and SAP App Center into a single marketplace at store.sap.com. It delivers a simplified and connected digital customer experience for finding, trying, buying, and renewing more than 1,800 solutions from SAP and its partners. There, customers can find the SAP solutions and SAP-validated partner apps they need to grow their business. And for each purchase made via SAP Store, SAP will plant a tree.

Thanks to SAP Business Technology Platform, information security is easy to maintain. This is because integrations allow organizations to choose where to store information, be that in their own cloud or by setting up data models in the vendor cloud.

In the case of Betty Blocks, a company’s data may reside in SAP technologies while still taking advantage of everything no-code and low-code have to offer. As more organizations continue to focus on disruption, no-code and low-code platforms will enable them to deliver consistent, rapid, high-value technologies to the core information silos, building real value without the hurdles presented by traditional programming.
