Frequently Asked Questions
What are the roadmap options for SAP customers?
SAP customers have two main roadmap options: follow SAP’s prescribed path — migrating from ECC to S/4HANA and eventually adopting RISE with SAP — or choose an independent route that avoids long-term commercial lock-in. The independent path supports a “composable ERP” strategy, allowing organizations to integrate best-of-breed technologies like SAP, Salesforce or Workday into a flexible, business-aligned architecture.
What are the risks of an ECC to S/4HANA migration project?
An ECC to S/4HANA migration carries significant risks due to its complexity, cost and the potential for limited business value if the end result doesn’t deliver meaningful change. The greatest risks arise when organizations attempt to redesign or replace customizations — decisions that can introduce delays, cost overruns and operational disruption — especially when similar innovation goals could be achieved more safely through enhancements around the existing ERP system.
How does the Rimini Street and ServiceNow partnership change the landscape for SAP customers?
The Rimini Street and ServiceNow partnership offers SAP customers an alternative roadmap that accelerates innovation across the enterprise software landscape. Rimini Street brings deep ERP expertise, while ServiceNow enables a unified, AI-enhanced interface that streamlines workflows across applications — empowering businesses to innovate without being constrained by traditional SAP limitations and migration mandates.

*SAP support deadlines:
- ECC 6 customers with EHP versions 0 through 5 will see the end of mainstream support in 2025 with no Extended Maintenance offered.
- ECC 6 customers with EHP versions 6, 7 and 8, will face the end of mainstream support in 2027. Extended Maintenance is offered—but at an estimated additional cost of two percentage points—through 2030.
- With S/4HANA version 2020, mainstream support ends 2025. Extended support will cost you an additional four percentage points on estimate.
- For S/4HANA version 2021 the end comes in 2026; and for version 2022, it’s 2027. Again, it’s either migrate or pay more for extended maintenance if you stick with SAP support.
