Event Information
SAP TechEd 2021 is a wrap! We unveiled SAP Process Automation, what’s next?
We’ve had a very intense work in prepping the SAP annual event for developers because this year we launched our unified low-code/no-code offering. And as part of it, we also unveiled SAP Process Automation.
A few days after the event, let’s recap all of our activities around process automation during this amazing TechEd:
SAP Low-Code/No-code unified offering is launched!
During his keynote, Juergen Mueller explained the importance of low-code/no-code for SAP customers, who have to tackle scarcity of IT resources.
SAP CTO invited Diana Roesner and Marko Lehtimäki for showcasing a comprehensive demo of our low-code/no-code unified offering. The demo leverages SAP AppGyver for creating an application connected to S/4HANA to order replacement parts and SAP Process Automation, also using SAP AI Business Services, to build an approval workflow for these orders.
You can also watch the low-code/no-code end-to-end demo here:
Michael Weingartner, President of SAP Business Technology Platform Core, emphasized in an article on SAP News that SAP Now Provides a Unified Low-Code/No-Code Offering. And in a Strategy Talk he explained how to Realize More Business Value with SAP Business Technology Platform.

SAP Process Automation is making citizen developers fully productive to adapt, improve, and innovate on their company’s business processes.
After it has been unveiled during the keynote, SAP Process Automation has been presented in a lecture from Sebastian Schroetel and Thomas Volmering.
