OVERVIEW

What This Means for You

SAP ECC 6.0 has been the backbone of many businesses for years, but its mainstream maintenance ends after 2027, with optional extended maintenance to the end of 2030. Moving to S/4HANA is now a question of when and how, not whether.

The move is also an opportunity: to simplify processes, clean up data, adopt Fiori and real-time analytics and prepare for SAP's newest capabilities. Getting the approach right at the start is what makes the difference between a smooth move and a difficult one.

Webtel helps ECC customers through the whole journey, from the first assessment and business case to the migration itself and the improvements that follow.

Webtel helps you make this decision based on facts. We look at your system, data, custom code, business priorities and budget, explain the options in plain language and give you a recommendation you can take to your board, together with a realistic plan.

AT A GLANCE

What Makes SAP S/4HANA Different

SAP S/4HANA is SAP's current-generation ERP for mid-sized and large enterprises. It runs on the SAP HANA in-memory database, with a simplified data model and a modern user experience.

One data model

Finance and logistics share one source of truth, including the Universal Journal.

Real-time

Reports and planning run on live data instead of overnight batches.

SAP Fiori

Role-based apps that work on desktop, tablet and phone.

Embedded analytics

Insight inside the transactions people already use.

Cloud or on-premise

Public cloud, private cloud or your own data centre.

FAQS

Common Questions

What happens if we stay on ECC after 2027?+

Optional extended maintenance is available until the end of 2030 at extra cost. After that, support options become limited, so planning now is wise.

Do we have to move to the cloud?+

No. S/4HANA can run on-premise or in private or public cloud.

How do we choose the approach?+

Through an assessment of your system, data, custom code and goals. We explain the options and recommend one.

When does support for SAP ECC end?+

Mainstream maintenance for SAP ECC 6.0 ends after 2027, with optional extended maintenance available until the end of 2030. Many companies are planning their move now to avoid a rush.

How long does a move to S/4HANA take?+

It depends on the approach, the size of your system and the amount of custom code. We give you a realistic plan after an assessment.

Can we change approach later?+

Some elements can change, but the core choice should be made early. A good assessment reduces the risk of changing course mid-project.
