Accelerate SAP Custom Code Carve-Outs and Consolidations with Automation

The typical steps in a carve-out or consolidation project include identifying use cases, leveraging smartShift’s automated technology for comprehensive code analysis, and executing the necessary extraction and integration processes. Our automation technology enables accurate and efficient identification of dependencies, renaming, and repackaging of code, ensuring a seamless transition.

Use Case Identification

Carveout: smartShift’ automation technology is applicable in any scenario where selective carveout of code is required. Typically used in divestiture scenarios where a company needs to provide the acquirer with only the necessary SAP customizations.

Consolidation: Often required in mergers and acquisitions where a company integrates the acquired entity’s SAP customizations into its existing system, or when a company wishes to consolidate multiple regional systems into fewer global templates.

Intelligent Analysis

Carveout: Utilize smartShift Intelligent Automation to build a comprehensive model of the code and match it against a list of customer-provided “entry points” (e.g., transaction codes) to all required custom code and related data tables to accurately determine the scope of the carveout.

Consolidation: Utilize smartShift technology to compare the code repositories of two or more SAP systems, identifying all conflicts to build a model for consolidation.

Implementation

For carveouts, extract, rename, and repackage the necessary code into a consistent standalone system. For consolidations, harmonize customizations and merge the systems into a single optimized instance.
