SAP customers must decide if they’ll migrate to S/4HANA now, given the planned 2027 end-of-support deadline, or gain the flexibility and time to choose a roadmap and next-generation system that best fits their needs.

A new IDG global survey reports that 85% of SAP customers surveyed plan to continue running existing SAP applications until 2025 or beyond, despite the impending cutoff date for mainstream maintenance support for ECC6.1 The survey also reports that although these SAP customers are happy with their current ERP environments, they are also concerned with stagnation, as few innovations and enhancements are being delivered for those systems by SAP.

So how can SAP customers innovate, compete, and avoid stagnation without migrating to S/4HANA right now? Join Dave Rowe, Chief Marketing Officer, Rimini Street and Tom Schmidt, Digital Content Director, IDG, as they examine the key findings from the IDG market survey and what it means for your SAP roadmap. Watch now.
