Let’s introduce the Extension Factory.
The perfect remedy for growing development backlogs.

More and more companies are embracing SAP’s S/4HANA Cloud strategy. At the same time, the Clean Core concept – with its focus on standardization and clear governance – is becoming the norm. Meanwhile, business demands continue to rise: processes need to be adapted faster, innovations must be integrated, and true differentiation is expected.

This creates real tension. On the one hand, SAP systems need to be extended quickly and flexibly. On the other, stability, upgradeability, and Clean Core principles must not be compromised.

The Extension Factory is the platform for end-to-end SAP extensions – delivered in proven sovanta quality, yet up to 50% more cost-efficient.

How does it work? With a modular and smart setup that guides ideas step by step to go-live – and supports them beyond.

Demand Management

Filter the noise. Eliminate duplicates and consolidate overlapping initiatives to reduce complexity and accelerate delivery.

Project Workbench

Accelerate delivery. With our AI-powered workbench, leveraging vibe coding and proven best-practice patterns, the Extension Factory reduces time-to-value by up to 40%.

Solution Repository

Build for the future. Every extension becomes a reusable asset. Your efficiency increases with every integration as you build on existing scenarios.

Stragegy & Governance

Guaranteed compliance. With 100% SAP Clean Core alignment, the Factory ensures you build secure extensions without creating technical debt.

Extending SAP without breaking Clean Core – that’s the challenge.

IT organizations lose speed and credibility with the business when requirements cannot be delivered in a predictable and prioritized way. Does this sound familiar?

Growing backlog

Feature requests and requirements pile up faster than teams can deliver, creating increasing pressure on capacity and priorities.

Slow delivery, high costs

Long development and release cycles mean the backlog keeps growing, leaving teams unable to keep pace with business demands. How can AI help?

Missing standards

Without clear standards, every extension turns into a custom project, increasing complexity, risk, and effort.

Our goal is to provide a solution that meaningfully supports the entire end-to-end use case lifecycle. That’s exactly why we have developed our platform – the Innovation Factory – continuously over many years.

More about the Concept

Let’s have a look into the Extension Factory

Software development is being radically transformed by AI. We can build faster than ever – but the risk increases that solutions are not clean, maintainable, or ready for rollout. Especially with agent-based coding, understanding requirements correctly becomes critical: What does the user really need? This is exactly where our platform comes in.

AI needs clear guardrails: which patterns are allowed, which technologies do we use, and which integration approaches must be followed?
At the start of each project, we capture the functional, technical, and visual design in a structured way – creating the foundation on which AI agents can work securely and with focus.
The project description, technology selection, UX design, and technical solution specifications form the foundation for AI-supported implementation.
Looking at the details, you can see that the AI is already thinking one step ahead. It creates a detailed implementation plan for each feature.
Human in the loop: At every stage, the software architect can step in – through comments and annotations.
