SAP ERP Central Component (SAP ECC)
Explore a unified SAP ECC solution for better finance, supply chain, and operations control.



Important! Starting from 2027, SAP will no longer support SAP Business Suite 7, including SAP ECC 6.0. The paid support will be active until 2030. If you need a solution to keep your data within the SAP ecosystem, you should consider migrating to SAP S/4HANA. SAP S/4HANA is a next-gen SAP ERP system that features up-to-date functionality and the latest technologies, ensuring better productivity, real-time analytics, and increased operational efficiency.
What Does the End of the SAP ECC Era Mean for Your Business?
SAP ECC has been one of the most trusted ERP systems worldwide. As an on-premise solution, it integrates data across multiple business functions like finance, supply chain, materials management, production, projects, and HR. This integration makes it indispensable for daily operations, helping businesses improve workflows and maintain control.
However, the lifecycle of SAP ECC is nearing its end. Without ongoing support, businesses face growing risks, including security vulnerabilities and stagnated innovation.
Organizations must now decide whether to migrate to a new ERP system or move to SAP S/4HANA. If you’re unsure which path is right for you, LeverX’s SAP experts are here to help. We’ll guide you through the decision-making process and ensure a seamless migration to SAP S/4HANA, SAP ECC’s strategic successor, and set your business up for future success.

SAP S/4HANA Migration Process
Evaluation and planning
Prior to starting the migration process, it's crucial to thoroughly assess your current ERP landscape. Our experts will work with you to analyze your current business goals, operations, dependencies, and existing modifications to craft a migration strategy optimized to your organization's requirements.
1
System preparation
Before a conversion and/or migration can begin, your ECC system needs to meet the essential requirements for transitioning to S/4HANA, including running the latest support packages (like EHP 8 for SAP ERP 6.0), adapting custom code for S/4HANA’s data model (such as updates for deprecated tables like BSEG), and passing the HANA readiness check to address simplification items.
From applying the necessary support packages and upgrades to resolving any technical requirements — our team will help ensure the migration is seamless.
2
Data migration
Data migration is a pivotal part of most migration projects. Our team will extract, transform, normalize, and load the data into your new S/4HANA system. Irrelevant data can be discarded, while important legacy information can be efficiently archived for later reference. We will also thoroughly test and validate the system to ensure no critical data fell through the cracks or was inadvertently altered in the process.
To migrate and integrate business-critical data more quickly, securely, and cost-effectively, we use DataLark, our proprietary data management solution.
3
Custom code adjustments
Custom ABAP code within your current system needs to be evaluated to make sure it's compatible with S/4HANA. Business-critical code can be enhanced or adjusted to align with S/4HANA requirements, while technical debt and legacy code can be discarded to speed up the migration. Our QA staff will perform meticulous testing to ensure all custom code works post-transition.
4
User training
We understand that user adoption is an important success factor. LeverX experts can offer both user training initiatives and comprehensive documentation to streamline the transition process and boost user adoption and engagement.
