Upgrading GROW with SAP has become one of the mainstream choices

 

 

You know what? SAP has announced that SAP ECC will cease mainstream support on December 31, 2027.

 

The latest three enhancement packs (Enhancement Pack 6, 7, and 8) of SAP ECC 6.0 will cease mainstream maintenance on December 31, 2027; SAP ECC 6.0 without enhancement packs and versions with enhancement packs 1 to 5 will end standard maintenance on December 31, 2025.

 

As the day of shutdown approaches, many enterprises using SAP ECC are facing urgent system upgrade issues.

 

Stop changing soon, where will SAP ECC users go?

 

The suspension of SAP ECC means that enterprises will no longer be able to obtain critical technical support, updates, and security patches from SAP, which will lead to a surge in system maintenance costs, lagging technology updates, data breaches, and compliance risks.

 

In the face of system downtime, enterprises still using SAP ECC need to assess its impact in advance and adopt the latest solutions in a timely manner to maintain competitiveness, such as considering upgrading to a new version of SAP, such as SAP S/4HANA Cloud, or migrating to other ERP solutions, to avoid the impact of system interruptions on business and security risks and compliance issues.

 

 

Upgrading GROW with SAP has become one of the mainstream choices

 

Currently, many companies choose to migrate and upgrade SAP ECC 6.0 to GROW with SAP to avoid the risk of SAP ECC downtime. GROW with SAP is a comprehensive cloud product portfolio that includes a range of solutions, accelerated adoption services, community support, and learning resources to ensure successful adoption of ERP cloud software for businesses of all sizes.

 

It can be said that migrating from SAP ECC to GROW with SAP is not only a technological upgrade, but also an opportunity for enterprise business model transformation. This not only ensures that enterprises enjoy continuous technological innovation and service support, but also provides an opportunity for comprehensive business process optimization and management upgrades.

How to smoothly and worry free migrate and upgrade?

 

Successfully upgrading from SAP ECC to GROW with SAP requires careful planning and preparation. Firstly, it is crucial to clarify the goals and scope of the migration, including a comprehensive assessment and requirements analysis of the current system. Secondly, choosing the appropriate migration path and deployment mode is crucial to ensure a smooth migration. In addition, technical preparation, data cleaning, team training, and in-depth testing are all key steps to ensure successful migration.

 

Different enterprises may need to adopt different migration strategies. For example, the new implementation (Greenfield) is suitable for enterprises that want to completely change their business processes; The original system version upgrade (Brownfield) is more suitable for companies that want to retain existing data and customize. Enterprises should choose the most suitable migration path based on their own situation.
