The same research found that 64% of said apps were built using ABAP. Corporations across the globe have long endured challenges with ABAP customizations.

Digitizing Manual Processes While Lowering the TCO of SAP with Brown Forman

Businesses&#39; needs and requirements are constantly changing. Enterprise are looking for CIOs to deliver
strategies that will not only allow for the IT team to quickly respond to the constantly changing business
needs but also modernize and innovate while reducing costs and increase employees efficiencies.
However, despite their best attempts, leadership is often failing to deliver as IT teams held back by
legacy systems and processes. To offer a perspective, the latest research shows that most organizations
end up spending significant portions of their IT budgets on maintaining legacy custom business
processes, leaving very little for innovation, making modernization and agility very hard to achieve. In
this C-level discussion we will explore low-code strategies and technologies to accelerate business
transformation, simplify migration of highly complex, customized ERPs, and catalyzing modernization at
lower risk.
 With this context, Dun &amp; Bradstreet, in association with AWS and Pillir are pleased to host a virtual discussion
