You're struggling with a legacy module's performance. How can you bring it up to speed?
When a legacy module lags behind, it's time to enhance its performance without starting from scratch. Here are strategies to consider:
- Assess and prioritize issues. Identify what's causing the biggest performance hits and tackle these first.
- Incrementally refactor code. Make small, manageable improvements over time instead of a complete overhaul.
- Integrate performance-enhancing tools. Employ newer technologies that can work alongside the existing module.

When an SAP legacy module starts to lag, a complete overhaul isn’t always feasible. In one project, an aging SAP FI module struggled with processing batch jobs efficiently. We began by assessing performance logs via SAP Solution Manager to pinpoint bottlenecks in job scheduling. Incremental code refactoring, such as optimizing custom ABAP reports, delivered quick wins. Finally, we integrated SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) for advanced analytics, enabling faster processing without replacing the core system. This approach not only revitalized the module but also extended its lifecycle, showcasing how thoughtful enhancements can drive immediate value.
