SAP customers face difficult decisions with regard to their SAP application strategy. The pressure to begin a costly “rip and replace” implementation of S/4HANA is building.
With a planned 2025 end of support deadline for ECC 6, SAP is making limited investment there in return for its seemingly expensive maintenance fees.
Most SAP customers will want to defer making an S/4HANA decision after evaluating its perceived high cost, low maturity and hard-to-find ROI. For others, it’s not if but when to move to S/4HANA. Some SAP customers, especially mid-size and new-to-SAP companies, may perceive value in an early deployment of S/4HANA today. Still others may say “no” to S/4HANA and find better value in migrating to more modern cloud applications from other software providers.
Rimini Street helps clients optimize their SAP strategy before, during and after a potential implementation of S/4HANA—no matter which scenario best fits their organization.
