REQUIREMENTS

BwFuhrparkService GmbH offers its customers various services on a portal, such as eAbruf, which can be used to report mobility needs.
Technically, the portal was implemented based on SAP BW as the backend and ABAP OO & Business Server Pages (BSP) for the application logic and UI.
The system is struggling with increasing development costs and complexity that is difficult to manage. In addition, the UI is no longer state-of-the-art.
The aim of the project was to find and implement a new, modern, and flexible solution. It was important to develop the portal's services in a modular way so that they could be deployed.

OUR SERVICES

Preliminary study on the selection of the target architecture. The suitability of SAP BW/4 HANA and HANA SQL was examined.
The recommendation and decision fell on SAP HANA SQL, in particular due to the possibility of containerized and service-oriented development. Another decisive factor was that the HANA XSa-based development approach in combination with Git made local developer "sandboxes" possible. This reduced overlaps and dependencies between development packages.
Design of agile and iterative development (DevOps) and project methodology (Scrum)
