CLEAN
CORE
Clean core is a scalable system designed for easy upgrades and extensibility, facilitating business expansion and development of additional applications, with minimal modifications and cloud compliant customisations in the organisation.
WHY CLEAN CORE?
The “clean core” is a concept to achieve modern, flexible and cloud-compliant ERPs. For an up-to-date ERP we achieve a clean core by integrating and extending the system in a way that is cloud compliant, and by governing master data and business processes. With that, when it comes time to upgrade a system, changes can be put in place without significant manual efforts to test and adapt existing structures.
Are you grappling with system upgrades and customization challenges? If you're in a world where you're using systems like ECC or on-premise solutions, we understand the complexities you face.
In the past, standard processes were the norm, but as time passed, customization became inevitable. You integrated numerous custom processes directly into your core system. Now, you're ready to embrace the latest and greatest ways of transforming your business.
Perhaps you're considering upgrading your ERP system to an S4 system or adopting cutting-edge technologies. However, here's the catch: if you continue to embed these customizations into your core system, you're setting yourself up for trouble.
We understand the importance of staying up-to-date, which is why we're now offering frequent quarterly and even monthly updates. But, these customized processes can cause significant interference during system upgrades.
That's where our philosophy comes in – keeping the core clean. We recommend taking those custom processes out of your core and relocating them to a separate platform we like to call the SAP BTP platform.
These custom processes become side-by-side extensions, standing alongside your core system without interfering with it. By adopting this approach, you can seamlessly integrate the latest technologies and upgrades without the headache of customizations getting in the way.
Stay ahead of the curve and transform your business with confidence. Join us on the journey to a cleaner, more efficient core system.
CLEAN CORE APPROACH
Clean core is achieved by integration and extending a system in a way that is cloud compliant, with master data and business process governance. Often a clean core is thought to be a system devoid of core customization. However, being truly “clean” actually includes adhering to standardized guidelines for all elements of the core. With that, when it comes time to upgrade a system, changes can be put in place without significant manual efforts to test and adapt existing structures.
