![<p><strong>Strengthening the foundation together: How a clean core, SAP® BTP and AI make your system landscape future-ready</strong></p>
<p class="my-2 [&+p]:mt-4 [&_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2">Imagine your ERP system as a house: over the years, extensions have been added, structures rebuilt and quick fixes implemented – until the original layout is barely recognizable. Lines run criss-cross, new technologies no longer fit the old structure, and every renovation turns into a major challenge.</p>
<p class="my-2 [&+p]:mt-4 [&_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2">This is exactly where the current <strong>SAP® strategy</strong> comes in. With the <strong>clean core</strong> approach, <strong>SAP® S/4HANA</strong> and the <strong>SAP® Business Technology Platform (BTP)</strong>, SAP® aims to stabilize, modernize and future-proof IT landscapes.</p>
<p class="my-2 [&+p]:mt-4 [&_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2"><strong>As an implementation partner, it is our role at SRCP to make these concepts tangible, explain the strategy, and show concrete paths into practice.</strong></p>
<p class="my-2 [&+p]:mt-4 [&_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2">With the <strong>clean core</strong> concept, the <strong>Business Technology Platform (BTP)</strong> and AI-based tools such as <strong>Joule</strong>, SAP® has defined a clear architectural blueprint. Our mission at <strong>SRCP</strong>: we help you understand this blueprint, translate it into your specific reality – and jointly evolve your digital house to be robust, flexible and intelligent.</p>
<p><strong>The foundation: SAP® S/4HANA as a stable core</strong></p>
<p>According to SAP, the cornerstone of any modern system landscape is a stable, low-maintenance core – in this case <strong>SAP® S/4HANA</strong>. This is where all central business processes converge: standardized, efficient and transparent. In practice, however, many companies have heavily modified this core over the years – comparable to adding new windows into load-bearing walls. This makes later renovations difficult, upgrades risky – and often prevents new technologies from being used effectively.</p>
<p><strong>The solution: Clean core – lean, maintainable, future-ready</strong></p>
<p>SAP® is therefore consistently pursuing the <strong>clean core</strong> approach. The principle is straightforward: the digital core remains untouched – no deep modifications, no custom extensions at the heart of the system. Instead, new capabilities are added modularly via clearly defined <strong>interfaces</strong> – <strong>loosely coupled</strong>, <strong>flexible</strong> and <strong>independent</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>According to SAP®, this results in numerous benefits:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Stability</strong>: The core remains robust and upgradeable.</li>
<li><strong>Faster upgrades</strong>: New SAP® releases can be adopted more easily.</li>
<li><strong>Flexibility</strong>: Extensions can be adapted or replaced independently.</li>
<li><strong>Cost efficiency</strong>: Reduced maintenance effort and lower risk of errors.</li>
<li><strong>Scalability</strong>: The system grows with your business requirements – not against them.

</ul>
<p><strong>The toolbox: SAP® BTP for custom extensions</strong></p>
<p>A solid house needs not only a strong foundation, but also the right toolbox. This is where the <strong>SAP® Business Technology Platform (BTP)</strong> comes into play. SAP® positions BTP as the central platform to:</p>

<p class="my-2 [&+p]:mt-4 [&_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [&_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2">Develop <strong>extensions outside the core</strong> (for example with <strong>low-code/no-code</strong>)</p>

</li>
</ul>
<p>All of this works without damaging the basic structure of your ERP house. <strong>SAP® BTP</strong> is not a risky intervention, but a flexible extension based on a clear architectural plan.</p>
<p><strong>Das smarte Haus: KI und SAP® Joule AI Agents</strong></p>
<p>Was wäre ein modernes Haus ohne intelligente Steuerung? <strong>Mit Joule bringt SAP® jetzt KI direkt in die Unternehmensprozesse. </strong>SAP® Joule AI Agents analysieren Daten in Echtzeit, machen Vorschläge, erkennen Muster – und helfen, Prozesse zu automatisieren. Laut SAP® sind sie in der Lage:</p>
<ul>
<li>Entscheidungen zu unterstützen (z. B. im Einkauf, HR, Kundenservice)</li>
<li>Routineaufgaben zu automatisieren</li>
<li>Risiken frühzeitig zu identifizieren</li>
<li>Mitarbeitende durch intelligente Vorschläge zu entlasten</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Die KI arbeitet außerhalb des Kerns</strong>, auf der BTP – also genau dort, wo sie in ein Clean-Core-Szenario passt. Kein Umbau nötig, aber ein echter Mehrwert.</p>

With <strong>Joule</strong>, SAP® brings <strong>AI</strong> directly into business processes. <strong>SAP® Joule AI Agents</strong> analyze data in real time, provide recommendations, detect patterns, and help automate processes.
