Microsoft will end extended support for Office 2016 and 2019 on October 14, 2025, impacting users of Excel-based SAP BEx tools, necessitating alternative solutions for data analysis and reporting.
This change matters because organizations relying on BEx Analyzer, BEx Workbooks, and BEx Broadcaster for business intelligence will need to transition to other platforms, such as SAP Analytics Cloud, to ensure uninterrupted access and support.
The end of support will particularly affect businesses using SAP BW and BEx tools, urging stakeholders to plan ahead for the transition to avoid potential disruptions in their reporting and analytics workflows.
APOS has been working with SAP to provide alternatives, and the APOS Publisher for Cloud solution has already been deployed by many APOS customers to modernize BEx Broadcaster workflows.
