How It Works: Governed SAP Custom Code Transformation

During an SAP upgrade, the challenge is how to bring the right code forward, retire what is no longer needed, and make the switch without risking business disruption. smartShift analyzes, transforms, validates, and governs the complete custom code environment to deliver secure, stable, and upgrade-ready code in a matter of weeks, with accountability built into the outcome.

Updating your SAP systems means making a decision about how to handle your custom code. Is it better to use a manual approach, relying on developers, or automation and artificial intelligence, relying on technology? The answer, according to thousands of SAP customers, is smartShift.

 

 

How smartShift Transforms SAP Custom Code

Data-Driven Custom Code Analysis

Our analysis engine extracts and analyzes your legacy code to gain an in-depth understanding of your codebase and its technical dependencies. Using this insight, we create a data-driven remediation plan that identifies what should be retained, retired, redesigned, or transformed while securing your timeline and all-in cost.

Precision and Speed with Built-In Control

Powered by thousands of transformation algorithms, our automation technology intelligently remediates 100% of code compatibility issues with 99.99% precision — including S/4HANA, HANA, Security, Unicode, and more. In a few weeks, we deliver secure, stable, and optimized code that is guaranteed to work within your target system. That’s 4x faster than the conventional approach.
Each transformation is tracked and validated to maintain consistency and visibility across the codebase.

Dual Maintenance for Continuous Alignment

Avoid code freezes, project delays, and cutover issues with dual maintenance. Our technology automatically compares, merges, and remediates code to keep your production and target landscapes in sync — so you never have to compromise your business velocity.

Pragmatic Clean Core Realization

SAP Clean Core does not have to mean starting over. Our AI-powered technology can analyze your custom code to provide crucial details about how it can fit into certain modernization models. It will identify which custom programs are good candidates for transformation and which will work side-by-side with a Clean Core SAP system. The analysis supports practical decisions about what should be retained, retired, redesigned, or moved toward SAP-aligned extensibility models.

Where the smartShift Automation Engine Makes a Difference

Automating individual remediation tasks is only one part of SAP custom code transformation. smartShift applies automation across the complete codebase with SAP expertise, validation, governance, and accountable delivery to improve speed, consistency, and control.

X

They’re Complex

Most SAP systems have millions of lines of custom code that require significant manual effort to analyze, prioritize, and govern every change..

X

They’re Risky

Some manual efforts only address high-priority issues, leaving legacy code untouched and creating gaps in visibility, validation, and control.

X

They’re Labor-Intensive

Conventional upgrades require substantial developer resources, which are already scarce and expensive, while also increasing the manual review and validation burden.

X

They’re Time-Consuming

Traditional code remediation can take months, or even years, of your team’s time and money, with scope, progress, and outcomes difficult to control.

Governance Built Into the Transformation Process

The conventional approach to migrating and optimizing custom code takes too much time and leaves too much room for risk. Do it faster and more accurately with automation, validation, and governance built into the process. smartShift provides visibility into what changes, how those changes are validated, and which areas still require technical or business review. The work is delivered against a defined scope, timeline, and outcome rather than leaving customers to configure, operate, and govern remediation technology themselves.
