Now, let’s move to the technology itself. With special know-how and suitable frameworks, you can take SAP development to a higher level with ABAP. These tools offer many advantages: Excellent modularization, structuring, and reusability make it possible to implement developments much more cost-effectively and quickly. Important examples are:

  • Business Object Processing Framework (BOPF)
  • Business Rules Framework (BRF)
  • Floor Plan Manager (FPM)

When implementing development projects in the SAP environment, it is not only programming know-how required but also intelligent change management at various levels:

  • System landscape development plan
  • Software architecture
  • Test management
  • Automated tests
  • Development guidelines and control of software quality
  • Human capital management
  • Project management

Now, let’s have a brief overview at the latest techno stack from SAP:

SAP HANA: SAP HANA is an in-memory database technology enabling real-time processing and analytics of large data. It combines columnar storage, compression, and in-memory computing to achieve high performance.

SAP Cloud Platform: SAP Cloud Platform is a cloud-based platform that enables developers to build and deploy enterprise applications in the cloud. It supports various programming languages and frameworks, including Java, Node.js, and SAPUI5.
