In a coffee corner conversation with Karl Kessler from SAP we discuss the benefits of ABAP and how ABAP is evolving in a cloud world. ABAP is still very useful and is being augmented for use in hybrid scenario where some workloads run in SAP S/4HANA and some in the Business technology platform. We discuss how ABAP consultants should prepare for the future.

Karl joined SAP back in the 90’s. Since then he has worked as a product manager for SAP technology.

Today, Karl is responsible for the product management and rollout of SAP BTP ABAP Environment (Steampunk) and S/4HANA Cloud ABAP Environment (Embedded Steampunk).
