Introduction to HAP

HAP (Hyper Application Platform) is an innovative Hyper Application Platform for building enterprise applications with no code. Without traditional software development, users can create intuitive applications for core business functions such as sales, operations, HR, and procurement, while connecting data across the organization.

HAP also includes a hyperautomation engine that helps automate complex and repetitive business processes. With its Integration Center and comprehensive API capabilities, HAP can be easily integrated with external systems.

In addition, HAP offers strong composability and internationalization support, and is built on a cloud-native architecture that supports deployment across multiple cloud environments. Through its plugin architecture, HAP is also building a growing ecosystem for implementation and development.

Business systems built on HAP are referred to as applications. An application can support a specific business process or an end-to-end business operation—from a simple ticket management app to a comprehensive ERP system.

HAP applications are built by combining eight core functional modules, which are Worksheet, View, Role and Permission, Workflow, ChatBot, Chart, Custom Page and External Portal.

  • Worksheet
    Used to collect and store business data. Any data entry requires a corresponding worksheet, such as employee worksheets, customer worksheets, or order worksheets.

  • View
    Provides different ways to present business data. Views can display filtered data based on specific business scenarios or user roles.

  • Role and Permission
    Control user access to business data, including create, read, update, and delete operations.

  • Workflow
    Automates business data processing and enables automated data flow across processes.

  • ChatBot
    Allows users to interact with data, workflow, and external applications through multimodal conversations.

  • Chart
    Provides multi-dimensional data analysis to support decision-making.

  • Custom Page
    Allows placement of quick actions, charts, and other components. Commonly used for dashboards, workspaces, etc.

  • External Portal
    Enables external users to participate, connecting internal and external users for seamless collaboration.

With these eight modules, users can build a wide range of enterprise applications. Except for certain specialized systems or consumer-facing frontend applications, HAP covers the majority of enterprise digitalization needs. It replaces traditional custom development with higher efficiency and quality, enables ISVs to build vertical industry solutions, modernizes legacy IT systems, and serves as both a data management hub and workflow engine for enterprises. It also empowers organizations that embrace company-wide digital enablement with tools that are easy to deploy and use.

HAP can be used out-of-the-box on a SaaS platform or deployed in any cloud computing environment, and it includes rich management and security features to meet compliance requirements for large organizations and specific industries.
