Mastering SAP New Zealand

Join smartShift at the Mastering SAP Collaborate 2025!

Our team will be on-site and ready to connect with you to discuss the opportunities and risks of SAP Clean Core and how smartShift's AI-supported Intelligent Automation® can help you reach your goal much faster and with less risk.

How Foodstuffs SI effectively de-risked and accelerated their S/4HANA transformation with Industry-leading Custom Code Automation.

When Foodstuffs SI, a New Zealand based retailer running a sixteen-year-old SAP ECC system, embarked on their journey to SAP S/4HANA and SAP RISE, they were challenged with a highly customized system with approximately 48,000 custom objects translating to 2 million lines of code requiring remediation. Foodstuffs SI engaged with Industry-leading Automation provider smartShift to free-up their internal team of developers from tedious code corrections and to address technical debt accumulated in the system over years. Learn how automation accelerated the project significantly and how the high precision and depth of the code corrections lowered testing efforts and project risk. Also learn, how automated dual maintenance enabled a shorter code freeze, therefore enabling continuous business change throughout the whole project. Join this session to find out about a better way to transform and modernize your custom code on your path to S/4HANA and a cleaner SAP Core.

S/4HANA and Clean-Core: A Better Way to Handle Custom Code with Automation

SAP S/4HANA transformation projects are incredibly complex and inherently risky. Complex and heavily-customized legacy SAP environments create an unclear — and often daunting — path to modernization. The conventional manual approach to migrating and optimizing custom code during SAP Transformations is time-consuming, inefficient, incomplete, and risky. smartShift Intelligent Automation® offers a better way to address your custom code. We offer comprehensive solutions that go far beyond the minimum in less time, better quality, and with less business disruption. In this session you will learn about an alternative, automated approach to custom code which provides you with the option to leverage your investments in custom code while still modernizing your processes to become faster, more secure, better to maintain and closer to the new Clean Core principles.
