In part­ner­ship with smartShift, this ASUG web­cast will deliv­er insights designed to sup­port your work with SAP technology.


Today, most SAP cus­tomers rely on cus­tom code to run their busi­ness­es. Whether for indus­try-spe­cif­ic rea­sons, reg­u­la­tions, report­ing, or to keep sys­tems con­nect­ed, cus­tom code is vital for busi­ness­es need­ing to meet their inter­nal require­ments. When it’s time to upgrade ERP sys­tems, like mov­ing to SAP S/4HANA, com­pa­nies find they have a real chal­lenge on their hands with man­ag­ing their cus­tom code. What choic­es do they have? Most believe that trans­form­ing their cus­tom code must be done man­u­al­ly. But is that their only choice? In this ses­sion, we’ll dis­cuss an alter­na­tive solu­tion for those either in the midst of an SAP S/4HANA trans­for­ma­tion or plan­ning to do one. 

Join us for a con­ver­sa­tion between Maris­sa Gilbert, Research Direc­tor at ASUG, and Arndt Hoff­mann, CCO at smartShift, while they dis­cuss the key find­ings of a recent ASUG Research Report. The report fea­tures the respons­es of 177 SAP cus­tomers and their thoughts on Cus­tom Code Man­age­ment for SAP Transformations.
