Decide your S/4HANA path before you commit the budget.
Usually in four to six weeks, a Readiness Assessment compares the three paths on your finance, data, custom code and integrations, and gives your leadership a roadmap and budget range they can challenge.
For CIOs, CFOs and SAP Directors running SAP ECC.
ECC keeps running after 2027. Standard support doesn't.
Mainstream maintenance ends
SAP ECC 6.0 mainstream maintenance ends on 31 December 2027.
Extended maintenance
Available at an additional cost, with narrower coverage.
Private-edition transition option
Offered by SAP under specific RISE with SAP conditions.
Confirm the terms that apply to your SAP contract. The assessment includes this review.
The technical route is also a business decision.
Choose a path to see when it fits and what to watch out for.
System conversion
Convert your current ECC system into S/4HANA, keeping configuration and history.
- Your processes still serve the business well
- You need full transaction history in the new system
- The priority is the deadline, not a redesign
- !Custom code and old design come along unless you clean them up
- !Finance changes (Universal Journal, Business Partner) still require real work
Selective data transition
Move only the processes, company codes and history that earn their place, and redesign the rest.
- Some areas are fine and others need redesign
- You are consolidating, splitting or acquiring entities
- You need some history, but not all of it
- !More complex to plan and test
- !Usually requires specialized tools and experience
New implementation
Start a clean S/4HANA system around standard processes, and migrate master data and open items.
- Your processes need a real redesign
- ECC is heavily customized and hard to maintain
- You want public cloud and standard processes (GROW with SAP)
- !Larger change for users and the organization
- !Historical data stays in the old system or an archive
Eight factors decide the right path for you.
The assessment measures each one in your landscape, so the recommendation rests on evidence.
Ledgers, currencies, the Universal Journal and asset accounting change in S/4HANA. Finance is usually the deciding factor, not the last task.
How much Z-code exists, how much is actually used, and what must be adapted or retired.
How many years of transactions the business truly needs in the new system, and what can be archived.
Whether the business wants to keep how it works today or use the move to change it.
Interfaces with banks, tax authorities, warehouses, CRM and other systems that must keep working on day one.
Number of systems, company codes and countries, plus localizations such as Mexico's e-invoicing.
Real dates and money available, including maintenance costs if ECC runs past 2027.
Sponsors, key users and the capacity to absorb change alongside daily operations.
Usually four to six weeks from uncertainty to a decision your board can back.
