Nearly 25% of SAP ECC customers unsure about their future

The future of SAP architectures is hybrid. But according to a survey conducted by the Financials subgroup of the German-speaking SAP User Group (DSAG), where exactly the journey will go has not yet been decided for many organizations.

Nearly half of SAP customers surveyed (47%) still work with on-prem SAP ERP Central Component (ECC), and many have not yet determined which path they want to take to S/4HANA once ECC hits end of maintenance.

From Aug. 15 to Sept. 16, 2024, DSAG surveyed 267 representatives of member company in its Financials subgroup, which includes verticals such as financial services, energy supply, real estate, audit and risk management, data protection, and taxes. In addition to the 47% on ECC, 42% are using S/4HANA (Classic Edition) on-premises. Just 11% of SAP customers surveyed are currently on S/4HANA cloud, with 8% on the Private Edition and 3% on the Public Edition.
