Alternative for SAP ChaRM | SAP Change Management Solution

Rimini Change™ for SAP: Feature-rich change management for SAP

The end of mainstream support for SAP ChaRM is set for 2027, posing a challenge for licensees. Its successor, SAP Cloud ALM, not only has limited customization options and simplified transaction types but also doesn’t allow for direct migration from ChaRM. Additionally, following SAP’s recommendation means entering a new support contract and facing significant ongoing support costs.
