All rights reserved 1/30/2014 11 Common ABAP Code Issues smartShift Technologies has 2 decades of expertise and experience in transforming hundreds of mission critical systems. Here are the trends we see: Custom ABAP code issues: • SAP recommends ongoing syntax changes of ABAP statements to be incorporated during technical upgrades, but they are often not • Unmaintained legacy code becomes a burden on your SAP system • Inconsistent coding from multiple developers affects efficiency, performance and security This results in: • High maintenance cost and hence increased TCO • Limitations on agility, scalability, and mobility • “Choking your innovation” © 2014 smartShift Technologies.
