As digital transformation accelerates across industries, enterprises face a common challenge: how to modernize IT systems quickly, cost-effectively, and without disrupting business operations. Neptune DXP, a leading low-code application development platform from Neptune Software, has emerged as a trusted solution worldwide. But with two editions: SAP Edition and Open Edition - many organizations wonder: Which one is the right fit for our business?

At BnK Solution, we work closely with enterprises in Vietnam and beyond to answer this question. By breaking down the differences between the two editions, businesses can make more informed choices that align with their technology landscape and transformation goals.

Why Neptune DXP?

Unlike traditional development methods that require extensive time and resources, Neptune DXP offers a low-code/no-code environment. This empowers both developers and business users to create modern applications, ranging from internal workflows to customer-facing portals without the heavy cost or complexity of conventional approaches.

The result? Faster time-to-value, reduced total cost of ownership, and greater adaptability. What makes Neptune DXP particularly powerful is its flexibility, available through two distinct editions tailored to enterprise needs.

Neptune DXP | SAP Edition

The SAP Edition is purpose-built for organizations with deep investments in SAP ERP systems. It allows companies to build and extend applications directly inside their SAP environments, whether they are running on SAP NetWeaver or transitioning to SAP S/4HANA.

Key Advantages

• Native SAP Integration: Develop and deploy apps directly within SAP, without needing external platforms.

• Modern Fiori-Style Apps: Create SAP Fiori-like applications easily, enhancing user experience while reducing reliance on complex ABAP coding.

• Leverage Existing Skills: ABAP and SAP teams can adopt Neptune DXP quickly, reusing their existing expertise while adding low-code capabilities.

• Compliance and Security: Built to align with SAP’s governance, ensuring enterprise-grade security.

Ideal Use Cases

• Modernizing SAP GUIs into intuitive, mobile-friendly apps.

• Extending SAP business processes with custom workflows.

• Supporting SAP S/4HANA migration strategies.

• Enabling SAP users with self-service apps and dashboards.

In short: The SAP Edition is the right choice if your business is SAP-first and wants to innovate without leaving the SAP ecosystem.

Neptune DXP | Open Edition

The Open Edition is the cloud-native, technology-agnostic version of Neptune DXP. Built for flexibility, it enables enterprises to go beyond SAP and embrace a broader IT ecosystem-whether on-premise, cloud, or hybrid.

Key Advantages

• Cross-Platform Freedom: Deploy apps anywhere-public cloud, private cloud, or on-prem-without vendor lock-in.

• Broad Integration: Connect with SAP and non-SAP systems, databases, and APIs seamlessly.

• Developer-Friendly Tools: Utilize JavaScript-based low-code/no-code environments, with AI-powered assistance like Naia for faster delivery.

• Built for Innovation: Perfect for building new digital products, customer portals, or integrating multiple enterprise systems.

Ideal Use Cases

• Developing customer-facing apps and digital services.

• Connecting SAP with non-SAP systems (CRM, HR, supply chain, etc.).

• Supporting multi-cloud or hybrid IT strategies.

• Empowering cross-functional teams with rapid app delivery.

In short: The Open Edition is ideal for organizations that want maximum flexibility, especially if their IT environment is diverse or if they aim to build entirely new digital products.

Making the Right Choice

So, how do you decide between the two editions?

• Choose SAP Edition if:

  • Your business runs primarily on SAP systems.

  • You want to modernize without leaving your SAP ecosystem.

  • Your teams are SAP/ABAP-focused and prefer seamless integration.

• Choose Open Edition if:

  • You need cross-platform solutions across SAP and non-SAP.

  • You’re pursuing a cloud-first or hybrid IT strategy.

  • You want freedom to innovate beyond SAP with modern web technologies.
