With the end of SAP ECC support in 2027 and extended maintenance through 2030, companies are urged to plan their migration to the advanced SAP S/4HANA, which, despite its benefits, presents challenges that require careful preparation.
With SAP’s support for ECC ending in 2027, and extended maintenance only available through 2030, organizations are under increasing pressure to plan and initiate their migration.
