Every SAP Basis consultant must know these 10 technology trends
We set about creating detailed playbooks for all common scenarios - installations, portals, upgrades and migrations - and platforms. Today, hardly any consulting firm can do without them, but in my early days they gave us a decisive edge over the competition and earned us many satisfied customers.
Following the recommendation of dividing the SAP basis into an application-orientated and infrastructure-related SAP basis [A4], Figure 3 shows a possible presentation form. The SAP-Basis interface function is structured into a SAP basis, which is close to the application and is responsible for coordination and communication with vertical and higher IT specialist and business areas, and a SAP basis close to the infrastructure. The infrastructure-related SAP basis in turn serves as the link between the application-orientated SAP basis and the infrastructure levels. Subject Matter Experts will perform the link task again. In the application-orientated SAP basis, in turn, technology architects are more likely to be placed. The innovation activity or innovation team aspect of the SAP basis is placed at the level of the SAP basis, which is close to the application, because the existing capabilities allow it to assume a leading, also coordinating role and acquire expertise both by adding the SAP basis near the infrastructure and the downstream IT departments.

The main benefit of the implementation of the above recommendations lies in the creation and documentation of the innovative power of the SAP basis. Through consistent research and testing, the SAP basis is enabled to assume its role as an innovation driver. It also creates an attractive and exciting working environment for employees. By being involved in projects in a timely manner, project success will be promoted and will contribute to company success in the medium and long term. One possible consequence of the constant overuse of the employees is the reorientation of the employees and the associated loss of knowledge. This can also lead to the complete basic activity being carried out by external partners, to which a dependency relationship then arises.
SAP Basis ensures smooth operation of the SAP Basis system. The SAP Basis system is a kind of operating system of the R/3 system or SAP ERP. It includes the three layers database, application and presentation. In addition, Basis includes many SAP middleware programs and administration tools. With Basis SAP applications can be used compatible and independent of operating system and database and can be enriched with the necessary data.
Some missing SAP basic functions in the standard are supplied by the PC application "Shortcut for SAP Systems".
