Thanks Mateusz for bringing up this critical point. As mentioned, there are organizations, that have been running SAP for atleast a decade, with lot of Custom Developments to cater their business scenarios. But, if you review them, following will be the observations: 1. Developments which are critical for Day to Day operations, probably an integration with a Non-SAP Application, or a Critical Business Scenario which was "probably" not catered by SAP's standard functionality either fully or partially, resulting in a custom development. 2. Developments which were deployed due to requirements from an individual department/team, or an individual Senior Management Personnel at a certain point of time. Some of these requirements fall under the category "We had a development like this in our earlier organization". These developments could have been used during that period or to an extended period, but are not being used now, or have been replaced by some other development, or a standard functionality in SAP. 3. Developments which fall under the category - "Nice to Have". Some of them fall under the category mentioned in the previous point. As far as Point No 1 is concerned, it the responsibility of the Implementing Partner to analyze these kind of developments, and probably suggest a Standard Functionality, which is available in the latest flavor (Not available in ECC6.0, but available in S/4 HANA). But for this, it would be better if proper documentation is available for all these Technical Developments, with the customer. So, at any point of time, during the transformation, it is highly critical to analyze these custom developments, and retain only them which are really showstoppers. But time is ticking. So it is ideal that organizations which are planning for a transformation from ECC6.0 to S/4 HANA, start this exercise as early as possible, to avoid the 11th hour turmoil. #customdevelopments #integrationwithSAP

Will We Really See ECC Migrate to S/4HANA by the Deadline? The clock is ticking, and with SAP’s 2027 deadline for moving from ECC to S/4HANA on the horizon, it feels like the pressure is building. But here’s the big question! Will businesses actually make the switch in time, or are we headed for another deadline extension? I have spoken to so many people about this now and here is what they seem to think... Some Think We’ll Get There: ? S/4HANA isn’t just an upgrade—it’s a whole new ball game with real-time analytics, a sleek user experience, and better performance. Who doesn’t want that edge? ? Early movers are already reaping the benefits. The longer you wait, the more you might be left behind. ? Let’s face it, sticking with ECC means shelling out more for extended support. For many, that’s a big push to move sooner. What Could Hold Us Back: ? Migrating isn’t just flipping a switch. It’s often a massive overhaul, and not every company is ready for that kind of disruption. ? Skilled consultants who know their way around an S/4HANA migration are in high demand—and short supply. Finding the right people could be a real hurdle. ? Let’s not forget the budget. With economic uncertainties, some companies might hit pause on a costly migration and stick with ECC for a bit longer. So, What Do You Think? Most businesses I speak with are ready to make the leap, while others are struggling with the complexity and costs. Will most companies meet the deadline, or will SAP need to push it out again? #SAP #S4HANA #ERP #BusinessTransformation #DigitalStrategy

This may come as a shock... but we don't always move quickly in government. So, the 2027 SAP ECC support deadline carries even higher stakes for our world. In #government, we know all too well the challenges of navigating multi-year approvals, securing funding, and managing the complexities of #digitaltransformation projects. As we rapidly approach 2025, the simple truth is this: if you haven't started your S/4HANA migration, you're at serious risk of missing the deadline. However, we still have options, and with proper planning, we can make this transition a success. Remember, #SAP is well-versed in supporting various local and federal government organizations through transitions like this. They offer the expertise and tools needed to navigate this critical migration. The clock is ticking, but with a clear strategy and the right partners, we can ensure our systems are ready for the future. So, what can you do today to ensure you're on track? Take a Breath and Assess:?Evaluate your current SAP #ECC environment. Catalog all the modules, customizations, and integrations in use. Identify the critical business processes supported by #SAPECC and determine how the transition will impact them. Various options are available—continuing support, outsourcing, and more—so take the time to understand your current landscape. Data Management and Cleanup:?#Compliance is no joke in our sector. Start your #data cleansing TODAY. Remove obsolete, redundant, and outdated data from your SAP ECC system. Also, figure out where you'll store historical data and how much that will cost. This step is crucial for a smooth transition. Phone a Friend:?You don't know what you don't know. Even the most experienced, career #SAPconsultants have only handled a handful of S/4HANA migrations—because they're a beast. Reach out to an independent firm not associated with SAP to help you make the best choice for your organization. The #1 tip is to stay informed.

???Is Time Running Out for ECC Customers???? As of 2025, over 70% of ECC customers still haven’t started their migration to S/4HANA. Many believe it’s “too early,” but let’s face the reality and potential risks of waiting. With SAP’s 2027 deadline approaching, delaying your migration could bring several challenges: ???Rising Costs:?S/4HANA consulting rates have already increased by 25-40% in the last two years. As demand grows, are you prepared for the potential cost spike? ???Consultant Shortage:?By 2027, the demand for S/4HANA consultants could outpace supply by 3x, making it harder to find qualified experts when you need them most. ???Rushed Implementations = Increased Risk:?SAP migrations are complex. Postponing could lead to rushed implementations, causing: Data integrity issues Lengthier downtime Operational disruptions Don’t wait until it’s too late. Start planning your migration to S/4HANA now to avoid these pitfalls and ensure a smooth transition. #SAP #S4HANA #Migration #ERP #DigitalTransformation #ITawareness

???????? ?????? ???????????? ?????? ?????????? ????????????????? With the 2027 deadline for migrating from SAP ECC to S/4HANA fast approaching, many organisations are voicing concerns about whether they can meet the timeline. Originally set for 2025 but extended to 2027, the deadline reflects SAP’s push towards a cloud-first future. However, as highlighted in a recent CIO article, significant challenges remain, including slow adoption rates, economic pressures, and complex migration requirements. Here are the ?????? ?????????????? driving speculation about whether SAP might extend the deadline further: ?? ???????? ????????????????: Only a third of SAP customers have transitioned, leaving many at risk of missing the deadline. ?? ???????????????? ??????????????????: Tight IT budgets and resource shortages are delaying projects. ?? ?????????????? ????????????????????: Businesses with customised ECC systems face significant hurdles in transitioning to S/4HANA. ?? ?????????? ?????? ??????????????????????: User groups like DSAG have urged SAP to provide more time, citing readiness concerns. While SAP remains firm on its 2027 deadline, it may offer extended maintenance or targeted support rather than a blanket delay.
