In terms of technical implementation , EJ advises leveraging SAP ’ s established frameworks and tools and its DTP ( Data Transformation Platform ). “ If you need to build additional functionality , do so with the ecosystem , but keep the core as clean as possible ,” he suggests .
The growing importance of AI in ERP systems adds another dimension to migration considerations . Here , EJ points out the advantages of sticking close to standard functionality .
“ Remember that by keeping close to standard functionality , you can more easily leverage AI capabilities , as we ensure integration between our core systems and AI features ,” he explains . This alignment with core functionality positions businesses to rapidly adopt and benefit from emerging AI-driven ERP enhancements .
A critical point that EJ emphasises is the need for businesses to be judicious about retaining legacy customisations .
