What is SAP Carve-Out?

AvenDATA - IT Applications Decommissioning | Application Retirement

SAP Carve-Out refers to the strategic process of segregating specific modules, components, or business units from an existing SAP (Systems, Applications, and Products in Data Processing) landscape. This separation is often undertaken in response to organizational changes such as mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, or the need for comprehensive system upgrades. The primary objective of SAP Carve-Out is to efficiently and selectively disentangle the identified elements while preserving critical functionalities, data integrity, and system coherence. This process ensures a smooth transition, allowing organizations to adapt to evolving business requirements without compromising operational efficiency. SAP Carve-Out involves meticulous planning, data archiving, and, in some cases, the decommissioning of legacy systems to optimize the overall IT infrastructure.
