A clean core isn’t just a technical ideal—it’s a planning imperative. This session explains how to embed clean core strategy into your SAP S/4HANA roadmap from day one, enabling long-term agility and protecting against customization sprawl. Learn how to evaluate which extensions belong inside the system versus side-by-side on SAP BTP, define governance frameworks that enforce extensibility standards, and avoid the technical debt that derails future upgrades. Get practical guidance for making clean core a design principle—not a retrofit—and building a landscape that supports innovation without compromise.
