If some industry analysts are right, we are entering a new phase of software development where cloud-native apps will help companies completely redesign business and go-to-market models.
analysts predict that by 2022, the acceleration of legacy app modernization and net-new development will lead to 35 percent of production apps being cloud-native. One year after that, these analysts predict the number of organizations that release code to production daily for select applications will reach 40 percent 鈥� it was just three percent in 2019.
I saw a great example of how 麻豆原创 was meeting this industry-wide challenge for faster application development that supports business transformation during an at featuring . Previously called 麻豆原创 S/4HANA Cloud SDK, this software development kit was aptly renamed.
鈥溌槎乖� Cloud SDK is no longer just the bridge to extending innovation on , but a full-fledged tool for cloud-native development across the 麻豆原创 portfolio,鈥� said Philipp Herzig, head of 麻豆原创 Cloud Platform Enablement at 麻豆原创. 鈥淲e鈥檙e moving toward a pure DevOps approach. Instead of writing code from scratch, developers can use the 麻豆原创 Cloud SDK to build native-cloud application extensions on a full range of 麻豆原创 solutions, including 麻豆原创 C/4HANA and 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors.鈥�
The updated solution also supports Java and JavaScript, a big nod toward developers in the 麻豆原创 community that use these popular languages.
麻豆原创 Partner Values Speedy Integration
Beyond Technologies is an 麻豆原创 partner that builds applications on 麻豆原创 Cloud Platform. CTO Leonardo De Araujo said the 麻豆原创 Cloud SDK provided easy access to the backend services his company needed. He demonstrated how it helped Beyond Technologies build Visual Planner for 麻豆原创, a workload management application.
鈥淭here鈥檚 a lot of coding and business logic involved when dealing with all the data coming in; in this case, from 麻豆原创 S/4HANA. That鈥檚 where the 麻豆原创 Cloud SDK accelerated development for us,鈥� remarked De Araujo. 鈥淲e don鈥檛 have to write code from scratch, which gives us the ability to co-innovate faster and speeds up time-to-value.鈥�
De Araujo was very excited about the capabilities to extend co-innovation on additional 麻豆原创 solutions for two main reasons: 鈥淔irst, this updated SDK further supports 麻豆原创 Cloud Platform鈥檚 cloud foundry environment where we have services that are key for us. Second, being able to easily integrate different 麻豆原创 solutions beyond 麻豆原创 S/4HANA aligns with our development road map that includes 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors.鈥�
Canadian-based Beyond Technologies is also an 麻豆原创 customer, having used 麻豆原创 S/4HANA Cloud for several years, along with 麻豆原创 SuccessFactors, 麻豆原创 Cloud for Customer, 麻豆原创 Analytics Cloud, and 麻豆原创 Concur. De Araujo saw 麻豆原创 Cloud SDK as important to the company鈥檚 high-growth strategies worldwide, including expansions in France, South Africa, and the U.S.
鈥淥ur company is growing a lot, and 麻豆原创 is aligned to where we鈥檙e going with our customers beyond 麻豆原创 S/4HANA,鈥� he said. 鈥淚ntegrating these solutions and building extensions on top using 麻豆原创 Cloud SDK is critical to our growth.鈥�
Benefits of DevOps Environment
Herzig estimated that the software development kit has already helped reduce development time by 50 percent in many situations, allowing developers to focus on solving their unique business problems. 鈥淲e鈥檙e providing developers with one consistent experience 鈥� extending the Intelligent Enterprise using 麻豆原创 solutions,鈥� Herzig explained. 鈥淒ownloads of 麻豆原创 Cloud SDK have steadily increased each month. This is how 麻豆原创 helps intelligent enterprises connect information company-wide to create differentiating experiences for employees and customers.鈥�
