#SAP ECC SUPPORT END DATE SOFTWARE#
Source: Enterprise Resource Planning at SoftwareReviews.ĬIOs across the globe are breathing a sigh of relief as SAP has formally announced that mainstream support for SAP Business Suite 7 software will be continued through the end of 2027, with options for extended support through 2030. The move should be about eliminating technical roadblocks and barriers of the past, and then fostering a climate where companies can take advantage of new business opportunities as a result of a nimbler technology backbone.” ASUG CEO Geoff Scott stated, “It’s not just about acquiring the SAP S/4HANA licenses-it’s about what you’re going to do with those licenses. SAP finally realizes that a business-as-usual ERP migration to S/4HANA will not suffice.Įnterprises must be able to transform their business models and do things on S/4HANA that they simply cannot do on the current platform. The story from SAP is that the end of legacy support has been delayed, allowing their clients to plan appropriately for their digital transformation.
The reality is that for most SAP Business Suite clients, the business case cannot be made to justify the millions of dollars and the months, if not years, involved in migrating their core business processes away from a solution that works perfectly fine today. However, this is a distorted statistic, as no more than half of these customers have gone live on S/4HANA, and those that have are mostly partial implementations, not wholesale migrations. SAP touts that 13,800 customers are already making the journey to S/4HANA. While SAP cites statistics from some SAP User Groups that indicate a general intent to eventually migrate to S/4HANA, there are plenty of SAP User Group surveys that show the direct opposite. I have fielded numerous client calls over the past year asking a recurring question: “Will SAP hold firm on its 2025 date to end support for ECC/Business Suite 7?” We finally have our answer from SAP, and it is a resounding “NO.”

The math simply did not add up for SAP to realistically sunset license support for legacy ECC/Business Suite 7 clients, as we predicted.
