To maintain this standardization, SAP Activate was developed to help businesses keep their core clean and adopt a cloud mindset for their SAP installations. This involves following industry best practices that ensure that the interaction with third-party plugins does not compromise the core services. This approach is commonly referred to as “keeping the core clean,” and it enables businesses to make use of the benefits of standardization while still incorporating necessary customizations.
The key to keeping the core clean is to carefully evaluate the necessity of each customization and determine if it can be achieved through standardization or with the help of third-party plugins that do not compromise the core services. This approach helps to ensure that the implementation remains manageable and can be easily upgraded or modified in the future. Ultimately, following these best practices and adopting a cloud mindset can help businesses streamline their operations, improve efficiency, and remain competitive in an ever-changing marketplace.
The Cloud
We mentioned the cloud mindset before, but what does that mean? A cloud mindset encompasses staying close to the standard capabilities of the software without customizing it to a great extent. Customizations are welcome but should not change the product’s core functionality. This fit-to-standard approach allows you to structure workshops to review various standard functionalities delivered with SAP Software. Just providing the base product is never enough, however. Rolling out multiple deployments developed in an agile methodology with a focus on the most valuable capabilities first is a preferred approach. The cloud mindset makes this easy, as agile production and incremental deployments are easy to do with a cloud system. This cloud mindset is at the core of SAP Activate.
