SAP — frequently asked questions
When do we have to migrate from SAP ECC to S/4HANA?
SAP's mainstream maintenance for ECC ends in 2027 (with extended support to 2030 for some customers). Most organizations are planning their S/4HANA move now to avoid a rushed, more expensive migration later.
What's the difference between a brownfield and greenfield SAP migration?
Brownfield converts your existing system to S/4HANA, keeping history and customizations; greenfield rebuilds on a clean S/4HANA system with redesigned processes. Brownfield is faster and cheaper; greenfield is the chance to shed years of accumulated complexity.
How can we reduce our SAP total cost of ownership?
The biggest levers are moving to standard processes (less custom ABAP to maintain), adopting Fiori and BTP instead of bespoke add-ons, right-sizing infrastructure, and choosing the support model — in-house, AMS or hybrid — that matches your real workload.
