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.

SAP ECC is a popular and trusted on-premise ERP solution that has been used by companies in various business operations, such as material, supply chain, HR, finance, and project data management. The solution is still an inseparable part of many businesses’ daily routines, as it helps streamline operations, improve system control, and integrate valuable data.

Still, as time goes by and new technologies emerge, the lifecycle of SAP ECC is coming to an end, giving way to more sophisticated solutions. As SAP ECC will no longer be supported, businesses that still use it will face the risks of noncompliance, security issues, and postponed digitalization, which can leave them on the outskirts of the competition.

To avoid this, organizations should consider switching to a different ERP solution. In this regard, migrating to SAP S/4HANA, a next-gen ERP offering great flexibility and a vast functionality set, is one of the optimal choices. LeverX's team of experts is ready to help you make the right decision and seamlessly transfer your data to SAP S/4HANA, ensuring further growth and success of your business.

Once SAP ECC support ends, your system risks facing security vulnerabilities, higher operational costs, and compliance challenges. Additionally, without access to new features, you may fall behind competitors transitioning to SAP S/4HANA, which provides more advanced capabilities and continuous updates.

How long does it take to migrate from SAP ECC to SAP S/4HANA?

The duration of SAP S/4HANA migration varies based on your organization's size and overall system complexity. The process can take from several months to a few years. At LeverX, we thoroughly evaluate your current system before starting the migration, providing you with clear timelines and cost predictions in advance.

These obstacles can be mitigated with careful planning, thorough testing, and expert support.
