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.
