Cleanfield: the better option between brownfield and greenfield

With the SAP migration deadline of 2030 in view, S/4HANA transformation is the most urgent use case for many customers already using Nova Intelligence. Cleanfield combines brownfield pragmatism with the architectural strengths of a greenfield target: existing landscapes are systematically analyzed, business-relevant logic is reconstructed, unnecessary custom code is eliminated, and only truly differentiating logic is rebuilt in a modern S/4HANA architecture.

Full custom code lifecycle

Nova Intelligence is purpose-built for SAP and covers the lifecycle of custom code from analysis and documentation through Cleanfield transformation and Clean Core governance. The platform supports Fit-to-Standard assessments, ongoing optimization, and continuous alignment with SAP standards so custom code remains manageable after migration.

Customer proof points

"Compared to other solutions, Nova Intelligence lets you work more autonomously and more quickly. For example, we uploaded our own code guidelines, and the platform applied them when generating code." - Joern Weigle, CIO at Festo. KION Group also reports runtime savings of up to 80 percent for some objects as legacy extensions are optimized with Nova Intelligence.
