Main challenges in adopting SAP Cloud ALM

SAP Cloud Application Lifecycle Management implementation and adoption, while being crucial to the transformation initiatives, has its own set of challenges, some of the key amongst them being.

  • Lack of proper data migration strategies and data quality: Migrating data from legacy systems to SAP Cloud ALM can be challenging, especially when dealing with inconsistent or incomplete data. This can lead to issues in the system's performance and lifecycle management accuracy. Proper data audits and clean-ups combined with proper SAP data migration tools are much needed.
  • Customizing SAP Cloud ALM to Business Needs: While SAP Cloud ALM offers a wide range of standard functionality, organisations often have unique business nuances that need to be addressed through customisation. Using Cloud ALM’s Extensibility features is one of the foremost ways to address such cases, and that too for big organizations with complex business needs.
  • Complex Cloud environments: Cloud-based systems like SAP Cloud ALM require new approaches to IT management and may introduce complexities related to cloud infrastructure, service availability, and performance. An efficient cloud governance framework architected by enterprise architects is key to this challenge.
  • Lack of standard processes: SAP Cloud ALM works best when processes are standardised across the organisation. However, in large, complex organizations, achieving standardization in processes can be difficult, particularly if different departments or teams have varied approaches to lifecycle management. Using SAP Cloud ALM provided pre-defined templates and best practices for various phases of the application lifecycle.
