In the case of ALV Reports we can even automate the generation of the UI5 application, with ZERO development needed in the process to create or maintain it. Our approach to integration allows customers to leverage on their SAP investment, all of the customization and code extensions can be made available as a service or via SAPUI5 applications powered by Neptune.
