SAP acquires Finnish no-code app development platform AppGyver

German software giant SAP has acquired AppGyver, a Finnish no-code app development platform, for an undisclosed sum.

The no-code app development platform of AppGyver enables business users to create apps for mobile, desktop, browser, TV, and others.

Without having to write a single line of code, business owners can create apps that can be easily configured and can also work across multiple operating systems.

Through the acquisition, SAP expects to better help its customers and partners in competently adapting their IT systems to their precise needs and also in optimizing the usability of their apps.

Commenting on SAP acquisition of AppGyver, Michael Weingartner – president of SAP Business Technology Platform Core said: “AppGyver helps us expand our no-code capabilities and establish a comprehensive offering in this area.

“Going forward, we can deliver a full range of simple and integrated application development tools that allow customers, partners and our own teams to enhance process automation and further improve the experience for users of SAP applications. By adding AppGyver’s solutions to our own no-code capabilities, we facilitate the creation of workflows, forms, robotic process automation and lightweight case management.”

SAP will add AppGyver’s solutions to its SAP Business Technology Platform, thereby expanding its offerings in business process intelligence.

AppGyver will particularly help in enlarging the recently launched SAP’s RISE with SAP package of which SAP Business Technology Platform and business process intelligence are core parts.

Apart from that, the no-code app building solutions of the Finnish developer will complement SAP’s low-code offering of its partner Mendix Tech, a subsidiary of Siemens.
