SAP Cloud Extensibility Options Tailor Functionality While Keeping a Clean Core

Tue, Mar 25, 2025 @ 05:04 AM / by David Fellers posted in S/4 HANA Cloud, CEO perspective, Thought Leadership, clean core

As the adoption of SAP S/4HANA Cloud ERP (Public and Private Editions) continues to accelerate, one of the key issues that frequently comes up is how to deal with the need for customization. This Insights post provides a deeper look at the extensibility tools available for managing custom processes and debunks the myths that cloud doesn't support company-specific requirements.

The Bramasol team sees this issue arise in nearly every SAP Cloud ERP implementation project we handle for clients, with their primary question being how best to balance any needed modifications against the goal of maintaining stability of the core for ease of maintenance and installing future updates.

In some cases, company leaders are hesitant to even undertake the move to cloud, despite its many benefits, because they are worried that their unique requirements can't be supported. It's unfortunate when decision makers tend to view standardized cloud environments as a straightjacket that limits their options; when, at least in the case of SAP Cloud, it is much more like a tailored suit that gives you the benefits of a solid underlying structure along with various ways to tailor a perfect fit.

That’s what this Webinar is all about.

Watch Now for a deep dive into the key Extensibility Options that are built directly into SAP Cloud, giving you the ability to create integrated, maintainable, custom extensions that mesh seamlessly with the Clean Core. You will hear from Bramasol experts who have front-line experience implementing SAP Cloud across a variety of scenarios requiring various levels of custom tailoring. We will address how SAP’s support for different extensibility options enables companies to address the full range of custom requirements, from making simple tweaks to accommodating complex legacy code.

The four specific Extensibility Options addressed in this webinar include:
• In-App Extensibility
• Low Code Side-by-Side Extensibility
• Pro Code Side-by-Side Extensibility
• Developer Level Extensibility

If you are looking at moving to SAP Cloud ERP and want to understand how your company’s unique requirements can be addressed within a solid, scalable, and maintainable software environment, then this is a must-watch webinar for you!
