Digital Transformation Guidance while moving from SAP ERP to SAP S/4HANA platform
Our digital transformation service offers a comprehensive roadmap for businesses planning to transition from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA, encompassing initial assessments, migration path recommendations, and project planning including timeline and budget. This process is designed to ensure a smooth, efficient, and cost-effective migration, tailored to each organization’s specific needs.
Migrating From SAP ECC To SAP S/4HANA
Migrating from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA is essential for businesses looking to leverage the latest ERP platform for enhanced performance, real-time analytics, improved user experience, and the ability to innovate in lockstep with emerging digital technologies. This transition not only future-proofs your business operations, but also optimizes processes and reduces total cost of ownership, ensuring your organization remains competitive in the digital age. Very importantly, any company or organization migrating to SAP S/4HANA is making an investment in future-proofing their business model through a digital transformation.
Transitioning from SAP ECC to S/4HANA Before Support Ends in 2027 SAP S/4HANA
Another compelling reason for an organization operating SAP ECC not to delay their digital transformation and migration to S/4HANA is SAP’s promise to terminate mainstream support for ECC in 2027. After this date, SAP will offer extended maintenance until the end of 2030, but with a 2% premium for the support fees. Having worked with SAP technology and for SAP as a company for many years, our team members are aware that SAP often responds to the pressure of its user community and may extend previously committed sunset dates.
However, considering that 2027 represents an already extended deadline, we view another extension as unlikely. Furthermore, SAP’s usual practice is to assign its best support engineers to more ‘promising’ clients, which in this case would mean that after 2027, companies continuing to operate SAP ECC are risking receiving lower quality support services while paying a higher price for it.

Start your Digital Transformation Now to Maintain Control and Efficiency
Summarizing all the reasons above, we recommend starting to prepare for your system’s migration to SAP S/4HANA without delay. The migration project is going to be time- and resource-consuming as it is. Delaying it will lead to more complexity (because your existing system will continue falling behind your evolving processes, and your customizations will continue to expand uncontrollably), which means more time and costs. So, for a CIO and his/her counterparts in the CxO suite, being proactive in planning and launching the migration to S/4HANA is quite simply a matter of staying in control and riding the wave versus being swept away. Incorporating our Data Strategy Development Service can streamline this transition, ensuring alignment with your business goals.
