A Complete Guide to Taking Control of Your SAP Roadmap

Key Takeaways

SAP customers should base ERP roadmap decisions on business priorities, cost, risk, and ROI rather than vendor-driven support deadlines or prescribed migration timelines.

Organizations can often extend the life of existing SAP ECC, R/3, or S/4HANA environments while reducing support costs and funding innovation initiatives such as Agentic AI, automation, and analytics.

The emerging Agentic AI ERP model allows companies to modernize and innovate by layering AI capabilities onto existing ERP systems, potentially avoiding costly and disruptive replatforming projects.

Make confident choices with the flexibility to move on your terms, the control to align with business priorities and the ability to unlock value within your existing budget.

Across the SAP landscape — on-premises, cloud and hybrid alike — customers face mounting pressure from shifting roadmaps, increasing operational complexity and growing demands to deliver innovation faster —
often with less budget and fewer resources.

At the same time, ongoing advances in innovation, including LLMs and Agentic AI, are reshaping the future of ERP. As a result, the ERP we’ve come to know will likely look fundamentally different in the years ahead. To
address this change, SAP customers are pursuing many different strategies at once — from extending the life of existing systems and modernizing specific processes to integrating cloud applications and introducing AI
driven capabilities where they deliver the most value.

This eBook serves as a practical decision-making guide for CIOs to:
• Understand their full range of SAP options
• Evaluate when migration makes sense (and when it doesn’t)
• Identify strategies to protect what works while preserving flexibility to invest where it matters mos
