Time is ticking for SAP ECC users—are you ready for what's next? Here's what you need to know about the approaching support deadlines:
SAP ECC Support End Dates
→ Up to EHP5:
Support concludes in 2025, which is just around the corner. Preparing now is essential to ensure a seamless transition and continued operational efficiency.
→ EHP6 to EHP8:
These versions will receive support until December 2027, giving your business a bit more time but not a moment to waste.
What this Means for Your Business
The ending of support for these SAP ECC versions marks a critical point. Continuing on unsupported versions can expose your business to several risks:
• Security Vulnerabilities: Without regular updates, your system could become susceptible to new security threats.
• Compliance Issues: Staying compliant with industry regulations might become more challenging without ongoing support.
• Operational Inefficiencies: You may miss out on newer, more efficient functionalities that can drive business growth and streamline operations.
Planning Your Migration
1. Evaluate Your Current Setup: Assess which version of SAP ECC you are currently using and understand the specific impacts of the support ending.
2. Consider Your Options: Look into upgrading to a newer version of ECC (Short-term solution), transitioning to SAP S/4HANA for a more flexible, scalable and innovative future-proof solution, or explore alternative ERPs that might better align with your business needs and goals.
3. Develop a Roadmap: Plan the transition carefully to minimise disruption to your operations. Consider a phased approach to gradually introduce new functionalities.
