It is not news that any change involves challenges, and the migration from SAP ECC to S/4HANA is no exception.
Carrying out the migration requires:
Careful planning, evaluation of the technology platform (hardware), cleaning the data to be migrated, and training in the new implemented processes and graphical interface for users.
Additionally, it is advisable to carry out an evaluation of current business processes to know how these can be improved in the context of SAP S/4HANA, which will be the new platform that the company will use. It is for this reason that we insist on the importance of collaborating with experts in SAP S/4HANA migration and implementation partners, as they will greatly facilitate the process of migration.
In addition to this, it is very important to consider customizing the migration for each company, based on their needs, and consider existing integrations that help ensure that the transition is as smooth as possible, to ensure success and accelerate system adoption.
Below, we present to you the opportunities that your company may miss by not migrating to SAP S/4 HANA:
Loss of competitiveness
Nowadays, having intelligent processes is essential to increase the speed of decision-making and avoid repetitive processes.
It is a fact that time runs differently now, and those companies who only have SAP ECC as a work tool to improve their business processes are at risk. S/4HANA offers this solution regarding SAP ECC.

Maintenance and support
By 2027, SAP will no longer support SAP ECC. In addition to being more expensive to support, it will operate on an obsolete application, for which many third-party solution providers will no longer connect or support their applications for this version of SAP ECC.
Maintenance aims to prevent the customer’s investment from being devalued, and to ensure that the product is constantly improved. Today, SAP no longer invests resources to improve SAP ECC.
User experience
Much of the operational power of S/4HANA is based on the user experience, which now, in addition to being focused on user activities, is presented in a dashboard environment of applications and web functionalities that open the possibility of connecting with the third-party applications on the internet.

Investment
The investment of any improvement or implementation in the current ECC suite is an expense, not an investment.
This is a product that is going to be discontinued, so it is not worth continuing to invest in it.
