For years, SAP ECC (or as many knew it, SAP R/3) has been the heart of thousands of companies. If you’re one of those who implemented it and still use it, you know what we’re talking about: total process integration, elimination of information silos, and real-time operations — the complete package. At its time, SAP ECC was a revolution.

But like everything in technology… there comes a moment when you have to evolve.

Yes, just as you read. SAP has officially announced that SAP ECC will stop receiving support in 2027. This means that after that date, the system will no longer receive key updates or technical support.

So, the big question is:
What’s next for companies still using ECC?
The answer is simple: migrate to SAP S/4HANA.

ar from merely being “the replacement,” SAP S/4HANA is the next big step in ERP evolution. It’s faster, smarter, more efficient, and designed to face today’s and tomorrow’s business challenges.

Here are some reasons that will definitely catch your attention:

  • Processes up to 10 times faster
  • Real-time data-driven decisions
  • Up to 30% operational cost savings
  • Integrated artificial intelligence
  • Express diagnostics
  • Simplified data model
  • Greater scalability
  • Regulatory compliance ensured
  • Simplified migration and personalized strategic plan

As you can see, S/4HANA isn’t just meant to replace ECC, it’s designed to surpass it in every way.​​​​​​​

Nevertheless, we know that migrating an ERP is not a trivial matter. At BAF Consulting, we understand that each company has its own pace and specific needs. That’s why we offer strategic and technical support at every step of the way, plus an option for extended support until 2030 (this only applies under certain conditions).

The future awaits you: S/4HANA
