Majority of SAP customers have extended and customised the standard software provided by SAP, mainly to suit the business processes specific to the organisations requirement. These extensions ranges from a simple ABAP report to a development of a whole new product/add-on/application within the available space.
Major drawback of these custom built extensions is highlighted when the Organisation thinks of upgrading the existing SAP version! There is so much of resistance within the organization itself for the upgrade that the many a times it happens that the upgrade process is delayed for months, sacrificing on the exciting features the newer version has to offer.
SAP has a solution to this problem! SAP has introduced the concept of extensions in S/4 HANA. This concept has two pillars :
1. In-app extensions
2. Side-by-Side extensions
This strategy of having extensions is the recommended way forward by SAP. Having said this, there is still a confusion amongst the Business and the SAP Consultants about which approach is suitable for the organization. A wrong choice of extension could mean defeating the business goal. It also means wastage of available resources(specially in Side-by-Side extensions scenario) and thereby loss of time, cost and efforts.

This proven way will help you accelerate the development process- no matter if you are building a simple application for your organisation or developing a full fledge solution that could be sold to thousands of customers worldwide.
