Easy Custom Code Adaptation

Typically, an SAP system with a long operating time includes a considerable amount of custom code - up to thousands of development objects. The complexity arises not only from the sheer volume of code, but above all from the often undocumented links and dependencies between the individual components. Outdated programming standards, a lack of testability and integration into various business processes further exacerbate the situation. Identifying and analyzing these complex dependencies is the first and often most difficult step in a successful migration. An incomplete understanding of the code base can lead to unexpected errors and considerable delays, which have a negative impact on the course of the project.

Risks of manual adjustment

The manual adaptation of custom code harbors risks. Incorrect adaptations can lead to system instability, data loss and serious disruptions to business operations - with potentially catastrophic consequences for companies. The probability of such errors increases exponentially with the size and complexity of the code inventory. The amount of time required to manually review and test the adapted code is another problem. This manual process is not only error-prone, but also extremely expensive and time-consuming. Errors are often only discovered late in the migration process, which leads to costly rework, project delays and considerable additional financial burdens.

The bill at the end

The manual adaptation of custom code has a direct and serious impact on the schedule and overall costs of an SAP migration. The time required to analyze, adapt, check and test the code can significantly extend the project duration, often by months or even years. This leads to higher personnel costs, as qualified employees have to be employed for longer. Additional expenses for external consultants are also to be expected. Unforeseen problems and errors in the custom code can further delay the schedule and drastically increase costs, which can quickly exceed the budget. The result is not only additional financial burdens, but also an increased risk of project delays and a threat to business operations. In the worst case scenario, this can lead to project abandonment and considerable losses. Fujitsu's ECCA offers an automated and intelligent solution for custom code adaptation. Using state-of-the-art technologies, ECCA automatically analyzes and evaluates the existing code, identifies critical areas and suggests efficient adaptation strategies. This automated approach reduces manual effort and minimizes the risk of errors that can easily be overlooked with manual editing. Automated customization ensures higher quality and speeds up the entire migration process, resulting in significant time and cost savings.

The migration of SAP systems presents companies with major challenges. The handling of custom code is a decisive factor for the success or failure of the project. Fujitsu's Easy Custom Code Adaption offers an innovative and efficient solution that minimizes risks, reduces costs and accelerates the migration process. With ECCA, companies pave the way to a secure and successful SAP migration and strengthen their future competitiveness. The investment in ECCA pays off quickly by reducing time, costs and risks and contributes to a significantly reduced project risk.

Advantages of ECCA at a glance

Automation: ECCA automates the majority of the customization process. This drastically reduces manual effort and minimizes the risk of human error, which is unavoidable in manual processes. Automation leads to a significant increase in efficiency.

Efficiency: Automation and intelligent ECCA algorithms speed up the migration process. Time-consuming manual steps are eliminated, allowing schedules to be adhered to and the project to be completed on time.

Cost reduction: The reduction in manual effort leads to a direct reduction in personnel costs. In addition, the costs for rework and error correction are minimized, as ECCA considerably reduces the error rate. This leads to significant cost savings for the entire project.

Risk reduction: ECCA minimizes the risk of errors and system instabilities that often occur with manual adaptation. Automated testing and validation of the code significantly improves the quality of the result and minimizes the risk of failures during operation.

Quality assurance: The automated tests integrated in ECCA ensure a higher quality of the adapted code. This reduces the risk of errors and ensures more stable and reliable operation of the SAP system after the migration.
