AI-Driven Approach to Achieving a Clean Core in SAP Landscapes

As organizations transition to SAP S/4HANA and adopt cloud-first strategies, achieving a Clean Core is key to reducing complexity and avoiding technical debt. Balancing standardization and customization can be challenging—but AI is proving to be a powerful enabler in overcoming this.

AI can automate decision-making, streamline processes, and identify legacy customizations that are candidates for modernization or removal—ultimately accelerating your journey to a Clean Core.

In this session, hosted by Lemongrass and AWS, we’ll go beyond theory and bring the conversation to life with customer story-driven insights. Through real-world examples, you’ll learn:

• How AI enhances efficiency in achieving and sustaining a Clean Core
• Practical steps to use AI in identifying, managing, and minimizing custom code
• Different ways to leverage AI to streamline your SAP environment
• Techniques to future-proof your SAP systems using AI, ensuring continuous innovation with minimal technical debt

We’ll also share examples of how Cloud Service Providers like Amazon Web Services provide services that can be integrated with SAP to modernize processes like procurement—enabling faster innovation while supporting a clean core approach.

Join us on September 23rd to gain practical guidance, hear real-life experiences, and take a confident step toward a smarter, leaner, and more agile SAP journey.
