Business Object Proposer
Halve the effort. Double the speed.
Powered by AI for SAP S/4HANA.
Designing and implementing custom business objects has long been one of the most time-consuming tasks in SAP S/4HANA transformation projects.
With the Business Object Proposer (BOP) — the latest innovation within the JiVS Information Management Platform (JiVS IMP) — that challenge becomes an opportunity.
Powered by AI, BOP automates the most complex steps in business object creation, reducing development time by up to 50%, while ensuring full data accuracy, compliance, and efficiency across SAP and non-SAP environments.
THE CHALLENGE
The Challenge: Complexity, Cost, and Customization
Even with 3,000+ standard business objects already supported in JiVS IMP, enterprises often face the final 5% — custom business objects that must be built to complete the migration. These demand specialized knowledge, manual effort, and time-intensive coordination between IT and business users. In large, heterogeneous IT landscapes — where over half of systems are non-SAP — this becomes a costly bottleneck.
Typical pain points:
-
Complex mapping of custom and legacy data
-
Shortage of experts familiar with aging systems
-
Rising risk from unsupported legacy environments
-
Delays in migration timelines and higher project costs
THE SOLUTION
Intelligent Automation for Business Object Design
To address these challenges, JiVS IMP introduces the AI-powered Business Object Proposer (BOP) — an extension of the JiVS Business Object Designer (JBOD). BOP uses a trained large language model (LLM) and rule-based algorithms to automatically:
-
Identify and extract relevant data from complex legacy tables
-
Link datasets accurately across systems
-
Generate intelligent proposals for new business objects
This dramatically simplifies the creation of custom business objects — cutting development time in half and freeing teams from repetitive, error-prone tasks.
THE BENEFITS
Built for Enterprise: Secure, Compliant, On-Premise
The Business Object Proposer (BOP) combines automation, intelligence, and compliance — delivering measurable benefits across speed, cost, and quality in SAP S/4HANA transformation. The entire solution, including the language model, can be deployed on-premises, ensuring compliance with internal and external regulations such as GDPR and CCPA.
