Why now

the SAP deadlines driving 2026–2028 budgets

Several SAP end-of-maintenance dates land within the same few years. Each one is manageable with enough lead time and expensive without it.

  • 2027
    31 December 2027

    SAP ECC 6.0 mainstream maintenance ends

    Extended maintenance to 2030 is available, but at extra cost. Most custom code will need to move to ABAP Cloud or side-by-side extensions as part of the journey to SAP S/4HANA.

  • 2027
    31 December 2027

    SAP PI/PO 7.5 mainstream maintenance ends

    Interfaces running on SAP Process Integration or Process Orchestration need to move to SAP Integration Suite. With hundreds of interfaces, that migration needs a plan, not a weekend.

  • 2028
    31 December 2028

    The SAP BTP Neo environment shuts down

    Applications still on Neo must move to Cloud Foundry or Kyma. It's a re-platform rather than a lift-and-shift, so it's worth knowing what you have well before the deadline.

    RISE and GROW with SAP

    A clean core is now the expectation

    SAP's clean-core extensibility levels decide what you can keep, what you should refactor, and what will slow down every future upgrade. The decisions you make now shape the cost of the next decade.

Capabilities

what we build

Deep, hands-on development across the SAP Business AI Platform stack, not slideware. Every engagement is delivered by senior, SAP-certified consultants who have shipped these workloads in production.

Business AI

AI on the platform

Practical, governed AI inside your SAP processes: CAP services that use the generative AI hub in SAP AI Core, and custom Joule skills and agents built with Joule Studio. We start with one bounded use case, clear data boundaries and a cost ceiling, then scale what proves its value.

Cloud Application Programming (CAP)

Full-stack Node.js and CDS services on Cloud Foundry: data models, OData APIs and business logic built to SAP's clean-core extension guidance.

ABAP Cloud & RAP

Released-API-compliant applications on the RESTful ABAP Programming Model, from behaviour definitions to draft handling, ready for SAP S/4HANA Cloud upgrades.

SAP Integration Suite

Cloud Integration flows, API Management and event-driven patterns that connect SAP S/4HANA to the rest of your estate. Monitored, versioned and documented.

SAP Fiori & SAPUI5

Freestyle and Fiori elements applications with a consistent launchpad experience, deployed through proper transport and pipeline routes rather than manual uploads.

SAP Build & process automation

SAP Build Process Automation workflows and low-code apps where they fit, with pro-code extensions where they don't, governed so they stay maintainable.

Platform architecture, security & DevOps

Landing-zone and account-model design, XSUAA and Identity Authentication, Cloud Connector and principal propagation, automated CI/CD, and consumption monitoring for CPEA and BTPEA, so the platform bill never comes as a surprise.

Migrations: PI/PO, Neo & custom code

PI/PO interfaces rebuilt properly on SAP Integration Suite, Neo applications re-platformed to Cloud Foundry or Kyma, and classic ABAP moved to ABAP Cloud or side-by-side CAP. We plan by risk, migrate in waves and test against production-like data.

Clean-core extensibility decisions

On-stack or side-by-side? RAP or CAP? We apply SAP's clean-core levels to your real extensions and give you a clear decision for each one, with the trade-offs written down.

Run & support

A monthly retainer for the custom apps and integrations you depend on: runtime and library upgrades, security patches, incident fixes and minor enhancements, handled by consultants who know your code.

Fixed-scope offers

ways to get started

Short, fixed-scope engagements that answer a specific question before you commit to a programme. Each one ends with a clear recommendation you own, whether or not we deliver the next phase.

Integration

PI/PO → SAP Integration Suite Migration Assessment

For organisations still running SAP PI or PO 7.5, with mainstream maintenance ending in 2027.

What we look at

An inventory of your interfaces, classified by adapter and pattern; re-use versus redesign decisions; whether Edge Integration Cell is needed for on-premise or hybrid scenarios; and where event-driven patterns would pay off.

What you get

  • Interface inventory with effort sizing
  • Target architecture
  • Migration wave plan and risk register
  • Read-out to IT leadership

A costed, sequenced migration plan you can take to budget holders, whoever delivers it.

Clean core

Clean-Core Readiness Review

For ECC and SAP S/4HANA customers preparing for RISE with SAP, GROW with SAP, a conversion or a release upgrade.

What we look at

Analysis of your custom code with ABAP Cloud checks, classified against SAP's clean-core extensibility levels, with an on-stack versus side-by-side recommendation for your most important extensions.

What you get

  • Custom-code heat map
  • Extension decision matrix
  • Refactoring roadmap and quick wins
  • Developer guidelines

A defensible answer to “how clean is our core, and what will it cost to fix?”

Platform

SAP Business AI Platform Estate Health Check

For organisations already running apps and integrations on SAP BTP that want to know the estate is secure, supportable and cost-efficient.

What we look at

Account and subaccount structure, entitlements and consumption, identity and role design, Cloud Connector, CI/CD and transport, monitoring, remaining Neo workloads, and runtime versions.

What you get

  • RAG-rated findings report
  • Prioritised remediation backlog
  • Cost-saving observations

Fewer surprises in security audits, upgrades and the platform bill.
