RISE With SAP Migration for Governed ERP Change

Decision context

RISE with SAP migration involves transitioning complex SAP landscapes to a cloud-centric, subscription-based ERP model. This process requires precise coordination of code, data, and process changes to align with SAP’s new operating model while preserving business continuity and compliance. Adranum provides a governed modernization software platform designed specifically to ingest and manage diverse SAP evidence types including readiness checks, ATC results, ABAP and DDIC analyses, and process-event mappings to support this transition.

The migration to RISE with SAP demands visibility into unsupported custom code, data quality issues, and integration dependencies. Adranum’s capability to map observed and inferred dependencies enables informed decisions on whether to keep, replace, remediate, or retire components. This ensures that migration proposals are reviewable and traceable, reducing risk by generating content-addressed implementation packages and impacted test sets.

Adranum also supports operational coordination during cutover, reconciliation, continuity, and exact-state recovery phases. By keeping raw service data and credentials within customer infrastructure, it maintains security while returning bounded commands and comprehensive reconciliation evidence. This approach aligns with the controlled and governed requirements of RISE with SAP migration projects.

Comprehensive Evidence Ingestion and Reporting

Adranum ingests a wide range of SAP evidence sources essential for RISE with SAP migration. This includes SAP readiness reports, ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC) results, ABAP code and dictionary analyses, abapGit repositories, process-event logs, requirement documents, data-quality metrics, and connector configurations. By consolidating these inputs, it provides a holistic view of the current SAP environment’s state and readiness for migration.

The platform reports coverage gaps and unsupported inputs transparently, allowing migration teams to identify missing or incomplete data early. This visibility is critical to avoid surprises during migration execution and to plan remediation activities effectively.

• Ingest SAP readiness and ATC reports for code compliance
• Analyze ABAP and DDIC artifacts for custom code impact
• Map process-event and requirement evidence for business alignment
• Report unsupported or missing inputs to highlight risk areas

Dependency Mapping and Decision Support

RISE with SAP migration requires understanding complex dependencies between custom code, data elements, processes, and interfaces. Adranum automatically maps observed and inferred dependencies, enabling precise impact analysis for proposed changes.

This mapping supports decision gates to keep, replace, remediate, or retire components based on technical and business criteria. By generating reviewable code and data proposals, Adranum facilitates stakeholder approvals and iterative refinement before execution.

• Automatic dependency graph generation from diverse evidence
• Support for keep/replace/remediate/retire decisions
• Reviewable proposals for code and data changes
• Stakeholder approval recording and audit trails

Implementation Package Generation and Testing Coordination

Adranum generates content-addressed implementation packages that encapsulate code and data changes aligned with migration objectives. These packages include impacted test cases to ensure comprehensive validation coverage.

The platform tracks compile, runtime, and test receipts to provide evidence of successful execution. This traceability supports compliance and audit requirements during RISE with SAP migration.

• Content-addressed packages for precise change delivery
• Identification of impacted tests for validation
• Recording of compile, runtime, and test execution receipts

Cutover, Reconciliation, and Continuity Management

Adranum coordinates complex cutover activities by orchestrating exact-state recovery and reconciliation steps. This ensures that the migrated SAP environment matches the intended target state exactly, minimizing downtime and data inconsistencies.

Continuity management features support immutable simulations and improvement history tracking, enabling teams to validate migration plans and learn from prior iterations.

• Orchestrated cutover with exact-state recovery
• Reconciliation evidence capturing data and code consistency
• Immutable simulations to validate migration scenarios
• Improvement history for continuous refinement

Secure Customer-Controlled Data Handling

Adranum is designed to keep all raw service data, source code, and credentials within the customer’s infrastructure. Only bounded commands, hashes, aggregate outcomes, and reconciliation evidence are transmitted externally.

This approach aligns with security and compliance requirements typical in RISE with SAP migration projects, where sensitive data must remain under customer control.

• Local retention of raw data and credentials
• Transmission limited to bounded commands and aggregate results
• Compliance with customer security policies

What the workflow must cover

• Multi-source Evidence Integration. Adranum integrates diverse SAP evidence types such as readiness checks, ATC results, ABAP and DDIC analyses, and process-event logs to provide a unified migration readiness view.
• Dependency Analysis and Impact Mapping. Automatically maps dependencies among code, data, and processes to support informed decision-making on component retention or remediation during migration.
• Proposal Generation and Approval Workflow. Generates reviewable code and data change proposals with built-in support for human approvals and audit trails to ensure governance.
• Implementation Package and Test Impact Generation. Creates content-addressed implementation packages and identifies impacted tests to facilitate coordinated validation and deployment.
• Cutover Orchestration and Exact-State Recovery. Coordinates cutover activities with reconciliation and exact-state recovery to ensure migration accuracy and minimize downtime.
• Customer Data Sovereignty and Security. Maintains all raw data and credentials within customer infrastructure, transmitting only bounded commands and reconciliation evidence to external systems.

Implementation workflow

Start with a bounded customer scenario and explicit acceptance criteria. Preserve native SAP permissions and accountable review while the software creates a repeatable evidence chain.

1. Collect SAP readiness, ATC, ABAP, DDIC, and process-event evidence from source systems
2. Ingest and consolidate evidence into Adranum platform for unified analysis
3. Generate dependency maps and identify unsupported or missing inputs
4. Create keep/replace/remediate/retire proposals for code and data components
5. Circulate proposals for stakeholder review and record approvals
6. Generate content-addressed implementation packages and impacted test sets
7. Coordinate cutover, reconciliation, and exact-state recovery activities during migration execution

Evidence to require

A transformation claim should resolve to observable artifacts, decisions, and execution receipts. Ask for the following evidence in a representative evaluation:

• SAP Readiness Reports
• ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC) Results
• ABAP and DDIC Code Analyses
• abapGit Repository Snapshots
• Process-Event Logs and Requirement Documents
• Data Quality Metrics and Reports
• Connector Configuration Details
• Dependency Graphs and Impact Analyses
• Implementation Package Receipts
• Compile, Runtime, and Test Execution Logs
• Reconciliation and Continuity Evidence

Boundaries and non-claims

Adranum separates analysis, proposal, human review, package creation, customer-local validation, and production execution. A later state never rewrites the evidence that supported an earlier decision.

• Adranum does not replace SAP licensing or Basis administration responsibilities
• Generated code proposals require customer-controlled compilation and runtime validation
• Does not provide official SAP certification or clean-core certification
• Does not substitute specialist testing tools in all scenarios
