S/4HANA migration

In 2027, SAP will end its support for Business Suite 7, which includes the ECC6 enterprise resource planning (ERP) platform. Organisations will be moved to consider the options open to them. 

Many are weighing up whether to stay on ECC6 with minimal support or migrate to its successor, S/4HANA. Others may be currently using an alternative ERP but are contemplating a switch to S/4HANA to enable best practice and/or business transformation.

ERP implementation has a reputation for being long, costly and difficult to achieve. S/4HANA migration could be one of the most complex and challenging programmes an organisation will undergo. If you are looking for a trusted partner to support you on this journey, Berkeley can help.
