As organizations race towards the 2027 deadline for SAP ECC support, the need for efficient and effective S/4HANA adoption strategies has never been more critical. One of our esteemed partners, Basis Technologies, has developed an open, customizable model to streamline this transition. FirstCall Consulting, is excited to share how this innovation can benefit the SAP community.
The True State of SAP S/4HANA Adoption
Basis Technologies’ recent blog, The True State of S/4HANA, provides an insightful analysis of the current environment of S/4HANA adoption and SAP migration trends. It highlights the adoption progress, resource demands, and maintenance deadlines facing businesses as they transition to S/4HANA.
Basis Technologies’ SAP Adoption Model
Basis Technologies has introduced a groundbreaking model designed to make the S/4HANA adoption process more flexible and efficient. This model stands out for its adaptability to various organizational needs, ensuring that businesses of all sizes can benefit from a tailored approach to S/4HANA migration.
Why This Matters to SAP Customers
The need for an efficient transition to S/4HANA is underscored by several key data points:

Adoption Rates: Almost half of ECC customers will not have completed their S/4HANA migrations by the end of 2027.
-
Maintenance Deadlines: More than half of all ECC and S/4HANA customers will be out of mainstream maintenance by 2027.
-
Resource Demand: Demand for migration resources will peak at the end of 2027, requiring 75% more resources than today.
