Bosch raised concerns about potential open-source
violations with AI-generated code. They are
prohibited from using proprietary AI software in
productive systems but can manage to use AI tools
in development and quality systems.
Due to new technologies like AI, SAP BTP, ABAP
Cloud, and adoption of the Clean Core Strategy,
there was a need to scale up our developers with
specific trainings and certifications via Train-the-
Trainer Program. This was essential for Bosch ERP
Transformation, with a focus on hands-on sessions
and practical experience over theoretical knowledge.
The Head of BTP ABAP and the Head of SAP CC at
the customer set up an executive-sponsored
strategic program to use and leverage SAP ABAP
AI. The SAP Business Technology Platform
(BTP) serves as the backbone for Bosch's
innovative solutions, enabling seamless
integration, data management, and advanced
analytics.

GLOBAL CHALLENGES
Challenges
BUSINESS CHALLENGES
PUBLIC 5
Integration Issues: Bosch faced challenges in integrating mobile
development across different technologies such as SAP
ABAP, Java, and SAP CAP. This required clear guidance and
simplified guidelines for business and technical teams to decide on
the appropriate architecture
Clean Core Strategy: Transitioning existing code to clean core
standards posed difficulties, particularly in maintaining upgrade
stability and adhering to clean core development practices
AI and Automation: Bosch raised concerns about potential open-
source violations with AI-generated code. They are prohibited
from using proprietary AI software in productive systems but can
manage to use AI tools in development and quality systems
Documentation and Training: There was a need for specific
training and certification for Bosch consultants transitioning
from R/3 to S/4 HANA, emphasizing hands-on sessions and
practical experience over theoretical knowledge
Customer Focus: Bosch needed to understand their customer
requirements and tailor products to meet them. This involved
seizing opportunities related to connectivity and automation
Efficient Processes: Bosch aimed to realize efficient processes,
lean structures, and high productivity. This required overcoming
challenges related to supply chain resilience and sustainability
Complex IT Landscape: Bosch's decentralized sales
organizations required business unit-specific adaptations on
the user interface, business process, and API levels. This
included multi-brand capabilities and integration with various IT
systems
Statutory Reporting: Bosch faced several incidents within SAP
Tax / DRC solutions, leading to high efforts on Bosch's side and the
need to solve these issues before the upcoming UAT
.
