Code Decommissioning
Build a Strong Foundation For Innovation With Code Decommissioning

Some experts estimate that each line of code costs over $2 per year to maintain. Considering that a typical SAP system has millions of lines of code — and only about 50% utilization — hanging on to unused code can cost your business a lot of time and money. Even worse, it opens the door to security threats and slows your innovation ability. Our AI-powered code decommissioning solution accurately identifies and automatically removes unused code to optimize your codebase and prime you for future innovation.
Safely Eliminate Security Risk and Technical Debt
Unused code adds time, complexity, and risk to your ongoing operations — we’re here to help.
- Decrease time-to-market for new development and increase maintenance efficiencies
- Securely and automatically shut the door to security risks
- Enhance your ability to track code usage for more accurate decommissioning
- Establish a quick and easy way to reactivate code if necessary
- Receive detailed and relevant analyses of code utilization
- Decipher custom code interdependencies to avoid deleting needed code
- Reduce your code footprint over time with ongoing support
- Untether your developers from the burden of unused code
Automatically Reduce Custom Code Security Threats

Over time, evolving standards and technologies can make your custom code less relevant and secure. And in the midst of planning a business transformation, it can be a costly and time-consuming roadblock. smartShift Intelligent Automation® analyzes the intricacies of your custom code to discover what can be removed and what needs to be retained to ensure the integrity of your codebase. Our AI-powered solution delivers immediate results that reduce your technical debt and free your developers to focus on strategic innovation.
