Why act now?
The clock is ticking… large scale, multinational enterprises are facing already today the end of support for their SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC) solutions, announced for 2027. When Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) vendors announce an end-date for their support, many companies often wait to act. But did you know that a successful replacement strategy takes, on average, 18 months? And this is assuming that your team can run the day-to-day alongside a systems project. This means that it is time to start planning for your transformation NOW!
What do you need
to consider?
SAP BPC is widely adopted in organisations in different formats, technologies, and databases. Versions used today operate with databases SAP BW/4HANA, SAP BW NetWeaver and Microsoft SQL. In addition to rehosting decisions, users may also need to consider application related factors to determine the best next step.
Most SAP users currently host on-premises with a long-term goal to streamline their applications to a more manageable number and move to a subscription model and consume software as a service (SaaS) where possible. However, the road to get there may be unfamiliar or difficult to navigate. The plan may involve and require future application upgrades, move to newer databases, require the commercial flexibility of cloud, or may require more effective use of managed service providers, like Codestone.
Once the way forward is clear, budgets, internal resources and skills should be assessed to determine what assistance they need from specialist partners to oversee or manage any migrations, upgrades, or operational maintenance along the way. Codestone can help you here. Sign up for our BPC Migration Assessment.
