SAP ECC (ERP Central Component) is enterprise resource planning software developed by SAP. It integrates essential business processes such as finance, supply chain management, human resources, plant maintenance, and more.
Unlike the next-generation system SAP S/4HANA, ECC is built on an older architecture but is still widely used in industries like oil & gas, energy, and manufacturing. Many organizations rely on ECC as the backbone of their operations, making it critical to plan future migration.
SAP has officially announced that mainstream support for ECC will end on December 31, 2027. After this date, no further upgrades, bug fixes, or security patches will be released.
Extended maintenance is available until 2030, but at a significant extra cost.
This deadline makes it vital for companies to begin preparing their migration strategy. Leveraging Data Migration Strategy, Master Data Governance (MDG), and Data Quality Management can reduce risks, cut costs, and ensure a smooth transition.
The direct successor to ECC is SAP S/4HANA. Built on the in-memory HANA database, S/4HANA provides real-time analytics, faster performance, and simplified processes compared to ECC.
