2 Build applications with consumergrade UX using SAP Web IDE Build applications with consumer-grade user experiences using SAP Web IDE In an age where system and data proliferation are the norm, business success demands agility in multiple dimensions. A key aspect of agility is to design, develop, and deploy applications rapidly, addressing the need for speed and delivering an unparalleled user experience. With SAP Web IDE, SAP puts the power of rendering such experiences in the hands of its users. With its extremely slim footprint, developers and power users can rapidly deploy new-age applications that leverage SAP HANA, and take advantage of SAP HANA Cloud Platform. This web-based development environment addresses the application development process holistically, from prototype through deployment. Developing new or extending existing SAPUI5 webapplications still poses a challenge for many customers. SAP Web IDE accelerates building modern applications for desktop and mobile devices with the latest UI technologies and simplifies the end-to-end application lifecycle: prototyping, development, packaging, deployment, and customer extensions for SAPUI5 applications.
