"Nearly 60 percent of SAP migration projects are delayed and over budget as organizations underestimate complexity, allow expansion of scope, and fail to understand internal constraints, according to research from ISG. The survey of 200 senior decision-makers in large global companies also found that fewer than one in five organizations reimplement SAP processes and technology when they move to the latest platform, S/4HANA."
"The research comes as SAP users face the support deadline for ECC, the legacy ERP platform still used by thousands of the world's largest businesses. By the end of 2027, mainstream support is stopping while extended support at a 2 percent premium will be available until the end of 2030. SAP has also discussed another support option beyond 2030 so long as customers sign up to its migration commercials ahead of that date."
"Some of them are trying to do this quickly, a lift-and-shift as fast and cheap as possible. This group often underestimated the complexity, scope and the constraints they have. They also suffer from scope creep and changing requirements as they go through. A lot of the delays are caused by people, not necessarily the technology."
Nearly 60 percent of SAP migration projects run late and over budget due to underestimated complexity, expanding scope, and unrecognized internal constraints. Fewer than one in five large global companies reimplement SAP processes and technology when moving to S/4HANA, while about 49 percent perform little or no re-engineering and retain legacy processes and data. Mainstream support for ECC ends in 2027, with extended paid support to 2030 and possible later options tied to migration commercial commitments. Gartner reported 39 percent of ECC customers had not migrated by Q4 2024. Thirty-four percent pursue brownfield migrations and 18 percent adopt greenfield clean-core approaches.
