I sat down with Leo de Araujo, Head of Global Business Innovation at Syntax Systems, to unpack a problem every SAP team knows too well. Years of enhancements and quick fixes leave you with custom code that nobody wants to document, a maze of SharePoint folders, and hard questions whenever S/4HANA comes up. What does this program do. What breaks if we change that field. Do we have three versions of the same thing. Leo's answer is Syntax AI CodeGenie, an agentic AI solution with a built-in chatbot that finally treats documentation and code understanding as a living part of the system, not an afterthought. Here's the thing. CodeGenie automates the creation and upkeep of custom code documentation, then lets you ask plain-language questions about function and business value. Instead of hunting through 40-page PDFs, teams can ask, “Do we already upload sales orders from Excel,” or “What depends on this BAdI,” and get an instant explanation. That changes migration planning. You can see what to keep, what to retire, and where standard capabilities or new extensions make more sense, which shortens the path to S/4HANA Cloud and helps you stay on a clean core. We also talk about how this is delivered. CodeGenie runs on SAP Business Technology Platform, connects through standard APIs, and avoids intrusive add-ons. It is compatible with SAP S/4HANA, S/4HANA Cloud Private Edition through RISE with SAP, and on-premises ECC. Security comes first, with tenant isolation for each customer and no custom code shared externally or used for AI model training. The result is a setup that respects enterprise guardrails while still giving developers and architects fast answers. Clean core gets a plain explanation in this episode. Build outside the application with published APIs, keep upgrades predictable, and innovate at the edge where you can move quickly. CodeGenie gives you the visibility to make that real, surfacing what you actually run today and how it ties to outcomes, so you can design a migration roadmap that fits the business rather than guessing from stale documents. Leo also previews the Gen AI Starter Pack, launching September 9. It bundles a managed, model-flexible platform with workshops, use-case ideation, and initial builds, so teams can move from curiosity to working solutions without locking themselves into a single provider. Paired with CodeGenie and Syntax's development accelerators, the Starter Pack points toward something SAP leaders have wanted for years, a practical way to shift from in-core customizations to clean-core extensions with much less friction. If you are planning S/4HANA, balancing hybrid and multi-cloud realities, or simply tired of tribal knowledge around critical programs, this conversation is for you. We get specific about how CodeGenie works, where it saves time and cost, and how Syntax is shaping a playbook for AI that helps teams deliver results they can trust. ********* Visit the Sponsor of Tech Talks Network: Land your first job in tech in 6 months as a Software QA Engineering Bootcamp with Careerist https://crst.co/OGCLA

In the debut of our mini series “Tales from the Go Live”, David Chaviano welcomes SAP partner consultant Rebecca Murray from Syntax. Rebecca shares how her team delivered a GROW with SAP deployment to a customer whose main operations sat deep in northern Canada. Rebecca outlines the GROW with SAP methodology; leading with best practices in S/4HANA Public Cloud, layering minimal customer-specific configuration, and pairing it with SuccessFactors reaching every employee. Over 14 months, a lean team of 12 specialists implemented and rolled out ERP and HR capabilities with mostly remote delivery, targeted on-site visits, and post–go-live hypercare to stabilize payroll, billing, and period-end close. Rebeccas biggest lesson learned: active listening is crutial when tailoring best practices to a customer's definition of success. For newcomers, she advises exploring different roles (technical, functional, strategic, customer-facing) and following your curiosity to build a rewarding SAP career.

Marit van Dijk & Hannes Lowette highlight that while developers are trained to write code, they spend most of their time understanding existing codebases—often with incomplete documentation and evolving complexity.They discuss research-backed strategies, such as structured code reading exercises, participation in communities like the Code Reading Club, and leveraging modern IDE tools to navigate and comprehend unfamiliar code. The conversation underscores the importance of empathy in code reviews, writing clear commit messages, and using tests as documentation to improve collaboration and maintainability. By practicing code reading deliberately and utilizing available resources, developers can become more effective and adaptable in their work.RECOMMENDED BOOKSFelienne Hermans • The Programmer's BrainAdrienne Braganza Tacke • "Looks Good to Me": Constructive Code ReviewsDuncan McGregor & Nat Pryce • Java to KotlinSaleem Siddiqui • Learning Test-Driven DevelopmentRoy Osherove • The Art of Unit TestingTrisha Gee & Helen Scott • Getting to Know IntelliJ IDEAJacqui Read • Communication PattBlueskyTwitterInstagramLinkedInFacebookCHANNEL MEMBERSHIP BONUSJoin this channel to get early access to videos & other perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs_tLP3AiwYKwdUHpltJPuA/joinLooking for a unique learning experience?Attend the next GOTO conference near you!
