i-KOU!® SAP S/4HANA Migration Assessment and PoC Service
What do customers think of SAP's decision to end support for older SAP solutions in 2027?
Still to be determined whether to continue
- This could be a chance to switch to another ERP product.
- Migrating to SAP S/4HANA will cost a lot but no good reason is found.
How much of impact the migration could have on our operations?
- Who knows if we can migrate all our add-on assets.
- We don't know the cost of migration and how long it will take.
End of support seems not so urgent
- Even when support for OS and databases ends, we can probably keep using SAP.
- We'll wait and see what other companies do.
- Support for SAP ERP 6.0 and Business Suite 7 is scheduled to end in 2027
Market trends
Mainstream support for SAP ERP 6.0 and Business Suite 7, which are used in over 2,000 companies in Japan, supposed to end in 2027. In February 2020, SAP announced that it would extend the deadline from 2025 to 2027. We strongly recommend customer leverage the delay as a period for preparation and migration to maximize the value of SAP S/4HANA.
Insufficient SAP consultants
As 2027 approaches, a lack of SAP consultants means customer might not be able to secure default methods of upgrade.
Support for OS, databases ending
It had better migrate earlier, including hardware.
Strategies for using AI, IoT, and other advanced technologies
If upgrading core system, customer need to consider modern technologies like the cloud, AI, and IoT.
