Precisely Automate Gains SAP Certification, Addressing Cloud Upgrade Concerns
Event summary
- Precisely Automate has achieved SAP Clean Core Certification (Conditional, Level C) for SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition.
- The certification validates that Precisely Automate enables high-volume SAP data processes without modifying the core SAP system.
- A recent survey by Precisely and ASUG found 57% of organizations are using automation for S/4HANA transitions, with 62% citing process complexity as a challenge.
- The certification applies to classic ABAP-based extensions and is compatible with RISE with SAP.
The big picture
The certification addresses a growing tension for SAP customers: the need to modernize and automate data processes while maintaining a stable, upgradeable core system. SAP's Clean Core initiative is designed to mitigate the risks associated with custom code, but many organizations rely on high-volume data processes that are difficult to refactor. Precisely's certification positions them to capitalize on this demand, particularly among enterprises deploying SAP S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition and leveraging RISE with SAP.
What we're watching
- Upgrade Adoption
- The pace at which S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition adoption accelerates will dictate the demand for Clean Core-compliant automation solutions like Precisely Automate, impacting Precisely's growth trajectory.
- Competitive Landscape
- How other data integration and automation vendors adapt their offerings to meet SAP's Clean Core requirements will determine Precisely's ability to maintain its competitive advantage in the S/4HANA ecosystem.
- Conditional Certification
- Whether SAP broadens or restricts the scope of its Conditional (Level C) Clean Core certifications will influence the long-term viability and market acceptance of Precisely Automate's approach.
