Clean Core Strategy

The Clean Core strategy is a key SAP principle that ensures stability during upgrades and the adoption of innovations by keeping the standard functions of SAP S/4HANA unchanged and separating business extensions into a separate layer.
This approach reduces technical debt caused by excessive customization, improves agility and cost efficiency, and enables organizations to quickly leverage the latest capabilities in a cloud environment.

Why is Clean Core important?

Reduces technical debt and minimizing system complexity

Ensures ease of automated upgrades and patch application

Enables rapid innovation capabilities and enhancing business agility

Ensures stable system operation and reducing maintenance costs

The Role of BTP: The Core of Clean Core

SAP BTP plays a pivotal role in implementing the Clean Core strategy. It enables the development and deployment of necessary business extensions in a side-by-side manner without impacting the core ERP system.

This maintains upgrade stability while supporting various extension scenarios, including AI, event processing, integration with external systems, and mobile app development.
