Options for users of SAP on-premise when support ends

Are you ready for SAP ending support for its on-premises software?

The deadline for SAP ending its support for ERP Central Component (ECC) is fast approaching – standard maintenance will end in December 2027. As a SAP user, are you clear on the next steps you could take?

At Civiteq we believe there are four options:

Option 1: Stay with your existing SAP ECC but buy a separate support contract from a third-party support partner.
Option 2: Move your current set-up into a cloud environment.
Option 3: Move to SAP S/4HANA and SuccessFactors solutions (either the public or private cloud edition).
Option 4: Choose a new vendor, which could be a different ERP provider, or a best-of-breed approach.

What do our customers think?

“I would absolutely recommend Civiteq to other councils. We always knew where we were in terms of the programme’s progress against milestones. The relationships and the frequency of communication worked well, and the contract relationships between the various parties were well managed. Plus, we had the right decision-making at the right levels, which was absolutely critical.”

Alex Thompson, Executive Director of Finance & Transformation, Sandwell Council

“I’ve worked with many suppliers, and this was one of the best supplier engagements I’ve had. That’s because of the positive working relationships, the calibre of people from Civiteq and their expertise and experience of ERP programmes in local government. They ask the difficult questions and hold us to account.”

James Ailward, Chief Technology Officer, Dorset Council

“The project was incredibly well managed by Civiteq. I’ve had comments from other strategic managers that this has been one of, if not the best project they’ve worked on with a consulting company. It definitely felt like a partner relationship, rather than a customer-supplier one, with Civiteq providing the Isle of Wight Council clear guidance and support through a complex project.”

Roger Brown, Strategic Manager ICT & Digital Services, Isle of Wight Council

“Civiteq really stood out in a positive way for their very human qualities and their willingness to listen and give us not only what we wanted but what we needed too. Their holistic methodology and approach to service design was fascinating to see and the results speak for themselves!”

David Peate, Programme Manager, Walsall Metropolitan Borough Council

“The team’s flexibility and ability to work effectively remotely ensured seamless collaboration between Civiteq colleagues and our council staff. Any changes in project team composition did not impact outcomes, showcasing Civiteq’s expertise and professionalism.”

Gavin Muncaster, Director of Digital, Southampton City Council
