ERP Modernization

Automated ABAP code correction at scale — layers on top of CCMW to apply pattern-based fixes. Can reduce remediation time by up to 90% on well-understood patterns; complex business logic still requires expert ABAP review.

Data migration from ECC to S/4HANA with automated mapping

Process mining against ECC event logs — identifies which processes are actually used, deviation from SAP standard, and where brownfield would carry forward inefficiency. Valuable for scoping decisions before strategy selection.

Generative AI copilot embedded across S/4HANA Cloud and BTP. Useful for fit-gap analysis, configuration recommendations, and ABAP code generation via VS Code integration (2025-2026). 6 out of 10 migration programs are NOT using Joule during migration due to bandwidth constraints — recommended as a post-go-live adoption priority rather than a migration deliverable.

Automated ECC system analysis — custom code impact (CCMW), simplification items, add-on compatibility. Essential starting point for any migration. Joule integration helps interpret findings in natural language.
