Evaluating Extensibility Options

Objective

After completing this lesson, you will be able to evaluate factors to consider in choosing the appropriate extensibility approach

The Right Extensibility Option

Factors such as the target group for the extension and whether it should be tightly coupled to SAP S/4HANA Cloud should be considered in choosing which type of extension to utilize.

To choose the right extensibility option, consider the following points:

  • Extension use case: whether the extension is a new application, or an extension to an SAP app.
  • Extension architecture: whether the extension is loosely or tightly coupled to SAP S/4HANA Cloud. Does the extension exclusively use SAP S/4HANA Cloud data, or does it integrate data from multiple products?
  • Extension scope and size: who provides the extension for which purpose? For example, is the extension a small extension that is provided by key users in a line of business organization, a custom development project that is provided by a development organization, or a partner SaaS application that is provided to many customers (even independent from the core product)?

Note

The three options are not mutually exclusive. Many extension use cases need a combination of the three approaches to work.
