Provides seamless integration with CTI for streamlined data synchronization but complexity and challenges in migrating existing applications to the low-code model for custom application development
The main area that requires improvement in the SAP Cloud Platform, specifically within BTP, is cost management and application stability. We also face challenges with load balancing and other related issues. Currently, we leverage the review of business applications and data usage within our organization. CTI has proven to be an excellent choice for integration, making it seamless and reducing the complexity of various integration scenarios. However, the major area that needs improvement is the development model for custom applications on BTP. SAP has introduced a low-code model that enables application development with less coding and more focus on data and visual building. However, migrating existing applications from traditional coding methods, such as HTML or other programming languages, to the low-code model is not straightforward. It is time-consuming and involves reviewing the application model, which may discourage businesses from investing in this transition. Additionally, there are various requirements and layouts that need to be considered, which further complicates the process. Many businesses are hesitant to invest in this area as it involves significant effort and may result in data loss, especially when personnel change within the organization before requirements are provided. It's an area that requires attention. It becomes challenging for developers to understand the business logic and requirements, making it difficult for the team to work on application migration and transition. Moreover, SAP has released a publication regarding the migration to VMware Cloud, and compatibility issues have arisen. This affects the seamless migration that SAP promotes, as there are thousands of objects that are not compatible with NetCloud. These objects are critical to the business, and without them, the transition cannot be successful. Technical complexities and the difficulty of migrating one application to another create significant obstacles. Businesses lose interest in such migrations due to the time and technicality involved. While the technical team understands the complexities, the business side is primarily concerned with using new features and staying up-to-date. This discrepancy becomes a major bottleneck, making the transition from one location to another extremely complex.
