Customer Case Study: What Clean Core Looks Like in Motion at Orica

The session

About this session

A global enterprise went live on SAP S/4HANA several years ago, but rather than rushing into the next big shift, they took a pragmatic approach to what comes next. This session explores how the team actively prepared to become cloud ERP ready by focusing first on what they could control: optimising custom code, reducing technical debt, and embedding clean core principles into their long-term strategy.

Hear how they successfully completed their automated code transformation to achieve a significant reduction in technical debt, finitely defined their clean core remediation scope through rigorous analysis and established a clear strategic roadmap. With active clean core remediation already well underway, the team will share insights from the sprints completed so far, what lies ahead in their upcoming sprint plan, and how they built a flexible, cloud-ready SAP landscape–all without committing to Cloud ERP before the business was ready.

What You'll Learn
