For years, your legacy SAP® ERP has been a reliable workhorse. But in today’s digital economy, reliability is no longer enough. The 2027 end-of-maintenance deadline for SAP® ECC is not a distant threat; it’s a pressing reality. Continuing on a system beyond its lifespan isn’t just risky—it’s a strategic decision to fall behind. The transition to SAP® S/4 HANA is inevitable. The real question is whether your business will make a strategic leap or a costly, last-minute scramble.
Why Transition Now? This is Beyond Compliance!
While the 2027 deadline provides the urgency, the true value lies in the transformation. Moving to S/4 HANA is your opportunity to:
- Gain a Real-Time Enterprise: Replace batch-processing with a live digital core. Make critical decisions based on live data, not yesterday’s reports.
- Radically Simplify Your Landscape: S/4 HANA’s simplified data model reduces your data footprint, boosts performance, and slashes total cost of ownership (TCO).
- Unlock Intelligent Technologies: This is the foundation for embedding AI, machine learning, and advanced analytics into your core processes with tools like Joule, SAP®’s generative AI copilot.
