This new Software-as-a-Service solution is designed to assist SAP customers in easing their transformation journey by reducing technical debt and simplifying complex ERP landscapes, ultimately unlocking the potential for innovation within SAP's framework.
In an era where digital transformation is vital, businesses are under constant pressure to modernize their operations.

With the Clean Core AI Accelerator, Lemongrass delivers an AI-powered solution that enables companies to transition to a more streamlined SAP ERP setup, poised for future advancements in AI and cloud technology.
Tim Wintrip, CEO of Lemongrass, expressed enthusiasm about the new SaaS offering, stating, "We are thrilled about the launch of the Lemongrass Clean Core AI Accelerator. The clean core strategy from SAP aims to help customers be more agile and rapidly embrace innovation. However, dealing with decades of accumulated custom code complicates this process. Our Accelerator offers a fast, efficient method to tackle these challenges effectively."
Understanding SAP Clean Core
At the heart of SAP's modernization initiative is the Clean Core philosophy. This approach emphasizes maintaining ERP environments as close to their standard versions as possible by limiting customizations.
