Summary

How long will SAP ECC6 be supported? SAP has stated that ECC6 will come to the end of its life in 2027, but it will offer extended support until 2030, at a premium.

Does SAP S/4HANA replace ECC? S/4 runs on the HANA database and will replace ECC, as SAP’s next generation of ERP, S/4HANA.

How long can migration to S/4HANA take? At an early stage, we can gage how long it’ll take. It depends on the business, but it could take anywhere between 6 months to 2 years. There are several factors that will determine the duration of the migration, such as the size of the organisation, the chosen migration path, the complexity of the system and landscape, amongst others.

Greenfield, Brownfield or Hybrid conversion? There are three implementation paths: Greenfield, Brownfield and Hybrid. The approach businesses choose depend on the organisation, the existing system, their time and the budget.

How do you prepare for an SAP implementation? Most importantly, get an experienced and trusted partner that will focus on getting the right option for you, as their customer. Understand your choice of implementation paths and clearly agree your objectives, scope and priorities, amongst others.

How to remain on budget? Develop and agree a plan up front to keep control over the costs. Ensure you work with a trusted partner that can assure you that costs won’t spiral out of control, with a broken-down plan that contains fixed-price pieces of work.
