Objective of this blog is to help understand the need for buzz word “Clean Core”, how to approach it and review the technical options available.
Why CLEAN CORE?
In this digital world, organizations have many challenges for a sustainable growth with heavy competition, budget constraints and many others. Bi-Model IT practice helped some of them to pivot their business model and enrich even during COVID times. SAP is a vast ERP solution available with many industry specific modules. In addition to the out-of-the-box standard processes available, many customers have developed their own secret sauce by building custom objects inside the system with ABAP development. So, with the Brownfield projects, where Customers are planning to migrate from ECC to S4 HANA, there are many challenges to overcome from the Business value perspective as well from Technical. Some of them are like their custom code is tightly coupled up with standard SAP, increased complexity with continuous changes to the solutions, maintainability, extensibility, and user friendliness. In addition, it is important that IT executives and Business Leaders think about the long-term strategy, rather than considering a system upgrade. To overcome the custom code mess, the buzz word CLEAN CORE, heard several times in many conferences and meetings will help address the pain points.
