    Strategic Migration Window - Act Before Crisis Mode

    Customers are now operating under extended maintenance, customer-specific maintenance, or license-risk conditions. Strategic action now prevents crisis-mode migration later. Organizations migrating now maintain control over timelines, budgets, and vendor selection. Those waiting face emergency rates, vendor bottlenecks, and limited negotiating power.

    7 SAP Products Now in Extended/Customer-Specific Maintenance

    Entered Extended or Customer-Specific Maintenance as of Dec 31, 2025: ECC 6.0 (EHP 0-5), GTS 11.0, HCM, and older EWM versions now operate under CSM with limited updates. SAP WM support ended—customers must transition to EWM or accept reduced functionality (Stock Room Management). S/4HANA 2020 requires costly +4% extended maintenance. Compatibility Packs expired—creating license audit risks. Migration remains possible, but costs, risks, and timelines increase each quarter.

    The Big One: ECC 6.0 (EHP 6-8) & 6 More Products

    Mainstream support terminates for core SAP systems. ECC 6.0 (EHP 6-8), BW 7.5, PI/PO 7.5, Solution Manager 7.2, S/4HANA 2022, and EWM 9.5 (standalone) all hit EOL. Extended maintenance available at +2-4% premium annually until 2030—then CSM is your only option. After 2030, complete innovation freeze with mounting security and compliance risks. Warehouse operations must migrate to S/4HANA-based EWM. This is when crisis mode hits hardest.

    Two Paths Forward

    Which scenario will define your migration journey?

    Crisis Mode Migration

    When you wait too long, migration becomes a scramble

    • 3-5x Higher Costs - Premium rates for emergency work
    • Business Disruption - Rushed implementation = downtime risk
    • Security Vulnerabilities - No patches or compliance updates
    • Resource Shortage - Best consultants already booked
    • 30-60% Maintenance Surcharge - Extended support fees

    Strategic Migration

    Plan ahead and turn migration into a competitive advantage

    • Optimized Budget - Strategic planning = cost savings
    • Zero Downtime - Methodical migration with testing
    • Future-Ready - Access AI, analytics, and cloud innovation
    • Top Talent Access - Choose certified experts, not scramble
    • Process Optimization - Re-engineer for efficiency

    The Real Cost of Waiting

    Every month you delay adds to your risk and expense

    Extended Maintenance Fees

    +2-4%

    SAP charges an additional 2-4% annually for extended maintenance on top of standard fees.

    Security & Compliance Risk

    Zero Patches

    No security patches, tax updates, or regulatory compliance fixes after EOL.

    Innovation Freeze & CSM Trap

    100%

    After mainstream support ends, you're locked out of AI/ML, real-time analytics, cloud capabilities.

    Crisis Mode Migration

    3-5x Cost

    Waiting creates consultant scarcity, vendor bottlenecks, and emergency rates.

    WAREHOUSE OPERATIONS ALERT: WM & EWM End-of-Life

    SAP Warehouse Management (WM) support ended December 31, 2025. Customers are now operating with reduced functionality (Stock Room Management) or unsupported warehouse processes.

    Older EWM versions (9.4 & below) also entered extended/CSM phase Dec 2025. EWM 9.5 (standalone) expires Dec 2027—then premium extended maintenance until 2030 or CSM.

    Action Required: Migrate to SAP EWM on S/4HANA (embedded or decentralized) to maintain full warehouse functionality, real-time visibility, and avoid operational disruption!

    Critical Note: Extended Maintenance Costs

    Extended maintenance typically costs an additional 2-4% annually on top of standard fees—a costly alternative that only delays migration. After extended support ends, Customer-Specific Maintenance (CSM) is the only option, with limited updates and no innovation.
