>60%+ faster SAP performance, no manual rework
Autonomous AI transformed DB-bound custom ABAP into scalable, HANA-optimized execution cutting runtime by more than half for one of India’s largest paper manufacturers.
Aging Custom ABAP Undermining SAP ECC Performance
As part of ongoing SAP modernization efforts, the organization identified performance limitations across several custom ABAP programs running on SAP ECC.
Over time, these programs had accumulated legacy coding patterns that were not optimized for HANA-based execution. As data volumes increased, program runtimes degraded, impacting the reliability and responsiveness of critical financial and reporting workloads.
Traditional remediation approaches required manual refactoring of each program, with estimates of one to two weeks of effort per object. This approach depended heavily on specialized ABAP expertise and introduced delivery risk, making large-scale optimization difficult to execute efficiently.
“Refactoring these programs manually would have required weeks of effort per object.”
End-to-End SAP Optimization Powered by Autonomous Agents
Sookti AI deployed autonomous agents to analyze and optimize the client's most resource-intensive custom SAP programs.
The agents:
Each program was modernized end to end by the agents, with no human intervention required. All changes were validated to ensure identical functional output before deployment.
Runtime & Execution Metrics (SAP SAT – Live Workloads)
Execution shifted from DB-bound, row-based access to balanced, HANA-aligned processing.
HANA-Optimized Bulk Retrieval
LOOP AT it_gst ASSIGNING FIELD-SYMBOL(<fs>).
" Performance hit: SELECT * inside loop

" Optimization: FOR ALL ENTRIES with specific columns

" Binary Search instead of DB hit

BINARY SEARCH.
ENDLOOP.The agent automatically switched from standard tables to performance-optimized CDS views, pre-loading data in bulk rather than per-record.
