SAP mainstream maintenance for SAP ECC 6.0 (enhancement packages 6 to 8) ends at the end of 2027, with optional extended maintenance until the end of 2030. ECC moved to SAP’s private cloud with RISE with SAP can be supported to the end of 2033 (the SAP ERP, private edition, transition option). Every ECC customer needs a path. There are three.
| Path | What happens | Best when |
|---|---|---|
| Greenfield (new implementation) | Start fresh on S/4HANA with SAP best practice and migrate the data you need | Processes need a redesign, or you want to move to GROW with SAP |
| Brownfield (system conversion) | Convert the existing system, keeping history, configuration and custom code | Processes still work well and history matters |
| Selective data transition | Move chosen parts, such as company codes, processes or years of data | Large landscapes, mergers or carve-outs |
