Our aim is to provide you with a set of guiding principles for building resilient business processes based on industry standards and justify differentiating extensions, supported by seamless integration, reliable data quality and efficient operations. This is laid out in the four chapters of the white paper which are as follows:
- Introduction to clean core strategy
- Importance of business processes in the SAP clean core strategy
- Fit to Standard in SAP S/4HANA Cloud
- Getting started with Fit to Standard.
What is the importance of business processes in SAP’s “clean core” strategy?.
A clean digital core provides flexibility and enables scale for changing business requirements, is easier to maintain and upgrade, and has a stable design on which latest solution capabilities and innovations can be adopted with relative ease.
The clean core concept has multiple principles, namely: Business Processes, Extensibility, Data, Integration and Operations.
In this blog post, we will focus on the principle of business processes and the importance of reducing complexity by increasing adherence to industry standards as a starting point for transformations. We shall also present the importance of treating business process management as a long term organizational best practice, the process to be followed when standard processes do not fulfil business value objectives, as well as the integrated tool chain recommendations for managing business processes.
How process standardisation supports “clean core” achievement in transformations
Today’s transformation methodologies need to ensure that business process management (BPM) is a continuous organizational practice that goes hand in hand with system transformations, as well as continuous improvements to, and regular operations of, those systems.
Now you’re ready to begin your fruitful journey to achieve Clean Core by leveraging Clean Core business processes for SAP S/4HANA Cloud ensure that you have maximized the adoption of standard industry processes and focussed your energies on achieving a clean extensibility in those processes where you can truly differentiate from your peers and competitors.
