SAP S/4HANA Migration

SAP ECC is not the only 2027 deadline ERP teams need to manage. SAP Solution Manager—the tool most SAP organizations rely on for change control, ITSM, monitoring, and audit trails—is also winding down its support in 2027.

In 2026, three distinct approaches to SAP migration are highlighted by Lwart Environmental Solutions, which opts to extend its current system for operational stability; Victrola, which successfully executes a greenfield migration to SAP Cloud ERP with significant reporting efficiencies; and Reveal USA, which emphasizes proving value before transformation by guaranteeing an 8x return on investment, reflecting a market grappling with simultaneous technical, operational, and security challenges.
