In the ever-evolving landscape of enterprise resource planning (ERP), adaptability and speed are crucial. At VMG Labs, we are committed to making SAP development easier and more efficient. Our latest innovation, CRUISE (Create, Read, Update Interface for Enterprise), is designed to provide a head start for composable developments, ensuring that your business remains agile and responsive - leveraging the power of Neptune Software.
The Future of ERP: Composability
The concept of composable business, as highlighted by Gartner, revolves around the ability of an organization to build systems that deliver business outcomes and can adapt swiftly to changes.
This is achieved through the assembly and combination of packaged business capabilities (PBCs) – well-defined business functionalities recognizable by business users. CRUISE is our response to this need, enabling digital capabilities with adaptive technology.
What is a Composable Enterprise?
Composable Enterprise means using interchangeable building blocks - software - to create, innovate and adapt business operations, enabling them to respond to external (or internal) factors. Put simply, it gives businesses the agility to evolve and grow their business systems.
Leveraging Neptune Software for Packaged Business Capabilities
Our CRUISE framework is integrated into the Neptune Software Solution, creating a robust framework that simplifies SAP development. Here's how CRUISE can transform your SAP environment:

We deliver the following as part of our development acceleration package:
App Samples: Best Practices in Action
Our CRUISE sample applications integrate cleanly with our delivered REST APIs, adhering to Neptune best practices. Included in our samples are Neptune Adaptive Framework No-Code apps, allowing your citizen developers to build and integrate with delivered SAP objects. Our apps include search, paging and pre-built look-ups that can make developments much quicker.
REST APIs: Standards based with business friendly names
Our APIs run within the certified SAP Add-on of Neptune Software, providing business-friendly names and industry-standard definitions that simplify the complexity of SAP systems. These APIs expose SAP functionalities to third-party systems, facilitate direct integration with ETL and AI tools, and use S/4 naming conventions, even in ECC.
Simplified SAP Data Access
CRUISE offers a library of SAP business objects that function across both ECC and S/4HANA systems. This approach centralizes data access for custom developments and enforces cloud development practices by wrapping SAP objects with factory classes for cloud developments.
The composable nature of CRUISE allows businesses to integrate their SAP systems with other applications and technologies. By leveraging CRUISE's composability, businesses can create a unified and interconnected ecosystem of software solutions.
Benefits for Our Customers
The CRUISE framework accelerates development time, allowing you to develop Neptune applications faster and expose SAP data to third-party applications in an upgrade-safe manner. This framework includes detailed logging and support features, ensuring that your ECC developments today will transition smoothly during and after your S/4HANA upgrade.
By leveraging your investment in SAP and adding the power of composable applications, CRUISE helps lower technical debt and simplifies the skills required for digitalization projects. The CRUISE framework is positioned as an accelerator, the initial phases of our projects include providing our clients with the knowledge and training to leverage and build additional components following this design pattern.
