ECC 2027

Profiles

One profile per option reviewed: what it does, the evidence it publishes, how it is priced and when to choose something else.

  1. 1. OpenLazarus

    Leave SAP: an AI operating system you own

    Best for: Established companies on SAP ECC that would rather spend the next three years of maintenance and migration budget on an AI operating system they own than on another SAP contract.

  2. 2. SAP extended maintenance

    Stay on ECC to 2030

    Best for: ECC customers that need three more years to decide or to finish a project, and accept a higher maintenance fee for an unchanged system.

  3. 3. SAP S/4HANA

    Migrate within SAP

    Best for: Groups whose processes, reporting and partners are standardised on SAP and that have the budget and people for a multi-year programme.

  4. 4. SAP ERP, private edition, transition option

    ECC as a cloud subscription to 2033

    Best for: Very large ECC estates that cannot finish a move by 2030 and are prepared to commit to SAP’s cloud to gain time.

  5. 5. Third-party support (Rimini Street)

    Stay on ECC without SAP support

    Best for: Companies with a stable ECC system that want to cut the maintenance bill and keep the system running while they build its replacement.
