""The shift from ECC to S/4HANA is not a simple 'lift-and-shift'. It requires companies to fundamentally rethink how core SAP data creation and management processes are structured and administered," the report states - a significant challenge given SAP runs some of the world's largest, most complex organizations."
""Many organizations have built unique, business-critical processes in ECC that cannot be transferred with SAP's standard migration tools. This makes adopting SAP's 'clean core' strategy difficult, often requiring additional custom tool development or manual workarounds," the research says."
Around two fifths of North America's SAP users have yet to begin migrating to S/4HANA, while just over 60% of 173 ASUG members are live or actively switching. Mainstream support for ECC ends after 2027, with extended support available until the end of 2030 for a 2% premium. Worldwide licensing lags, with Gartner reporting only 39% of ECC users licensed S/4HANA. ECC-to-S/4HANA migrations can take years for large organizations. Primary barriers include business process change (49%), heavy customizations (44%), and organizational inertia (37%). SAP requires a clean core with extensions on its Business Technology Platform.
