In the world of SAP, 2027 is more than just another year—it’s a turning point. That’s when official support for SAP ECC ends, marking the conclusion of an architecture that has powered businesses for decades.
As SAP Solutions Leader at TGV, I help organizations navigate this transition. The big question is not whether to migrate, but how to do it wisely—combining strategic planning, technical expertise, and the right resources.
Migrating to SAP S/4HANA isn’t just an upgrade; it’s a chance to reimagine your core systems. S/4HANA is a platform designed for real-time operations, powered by an in-memory database (SAP HANA) that seamlessly handles both analytics and transactions without duplicating data or relying on intermediaries.
Here’s how this transformation can redefine your business:
- Queries won’t slow down your operations.
- Historical data won’t clog your system.
- Predictive models can run on live data, unlocking valuable insights.
The main decision? Whether to choose a Greenfield or Brownfield approach.
- Greenfield: A clean slate, perfect for companies aiming to redesign processes, reduce dependencies, and align with best practices.
- Brownfield: A system conversion that preserves existing customizations, data, and structure—faster and less disruptive.
No single approach works for everyone. Success depends on a clear understanding of your current systems, process maturity, and readiness for change. At TGV, we work alongside your internal IT teams, enabling them to scale without overextending. We ensure your migration has the focus it needs without interrupting critical operations.
One thing is clear: not migrating is also a decision—and as the deadline approaches, it becomes an increasingly risky and expensive one. Now is the time to review your architecture. If your internal team is stretched thin, recognize it early and take action—bring in experts, plan with precision, and execute effectively.
This isn’t just about meeting a technical requirement. It’s about building the foundation for your company’s next decade of growth.
