abat Development Assistant (aDA): Efficient. Secure. Experienced.

Faster results in your SAP projects - without compromising on quality  - that’s what aDA, the abat Development Assistant, helps achieve. aDA is our AI-powered development assistant for SAP development that combines abat’s knowledge, experience, and best practices to support our developers in their work. aDA is not simply an AI agent, but an assistant trained on abat’s knowledge. 

As part of our AI-Shore project methodology, the same principle applies to our development assistant: Data protection is not an afterthought, but an integral part of the design. Depending on the project, cloud or on-premises operation is possible, always in compliance with the GDPR. Your data remains within the protected framework that we define together with you. 

Key points at a glance:

Trained on abat expertise: 
approximately 5,000 person-years of SAP experience from numerous projects across various industries, rather than standard knowledge – continuously updated based on current projects. 

AI Coded – Human-in-the-Loop: 
A human is always involved in the decision-making process. Your point of contact at abat remains the same.

For your project: 
faster results with the same abat quality. You commission a result – not a software solution.

Privacy by Design: 
Whether cloud-based or on-premises, always GDPR-compliant, within a jointly defined framework. 

What does aDA stand for?

How secure is working with aDA?

A human is always involved in the decision-making process. aDA makes suggestions; our developers review, adapt, and take responsibility for the result. Your point of contact at abat remains the same. aDA does not change that.

What experience does aDA draw on?

aDA brings together approximately 5,000 person-years of SAP experience from a wide range of projects across various industries. We have integrated this practical knowledge directly into our approach. The expertise of our specialists is incorporated on two levels: as general abat best practices on the one hand, and as project-specific guidelines and specifications on the other. This is because aDA can be adapted to each specific project, ensuring that project-specific requirements, coding conventions, and architectural decisions are directly taken into account. New SAP developments, new ABAP language constructs, and insights from current projects continuously update aDA. As a result, our developers always work with our most up-to-date knowledge base, tailored to their specific project. 

How does aDA make development more efficient?

aDA helps our teams develop faster and makes knowledge immediately available. It integrates seamlessly into existing development processes: Our developers plan and specify the tasks, and aDA implements them. This directly benefits your project – you are the focus: high-quality implementation in less time. 

How does aDA specifically support our SAP development?

"AI doesn’t replace expertise – it amplifies it.“

Hannah, ABAP developer at abat

Whether it’s reading domain constants, generating entire ABAP classes, or commenting on source code, aDA provides our developers with valuable suggestions and saves time. Our developers review and adjust the syntax, best practices, and system context. This makes aDA a sparring partner, not a replacement. 

AI Coded – Human in the Loop

This sums up our approach to aDA: The assistant makes suggestions; our abat experts make the decisions. This principle applies to every use of aDA and ensures that the quality you’ve come to expect from abat is maintained.

For your projects, this means: 

  • Faster development with consistent quality
  • Better scalability
  • Seamless integration into existing development processes
  • The highest standards in data protection and data security
