As the maintenance deadline for SAP ECC approaches, many companies are considering migrations to S/4HANA or upgrades to S/4HANA 2025. However, many face challenges such as not knowing the extent of necessary modifications, receiving multi-million yen quotes based on full-scale testing, and being unable to judge the validity of these costs. In long-standing SAP environments, complex add-ons and peripheral systems often make it difficult to predict the scope of impact. Furthermore, many SAP upgrades do not necessarily lead to dramatic business improvements, making it difficult for IT departments to justify the costs to management. The tendency to assume that 'wide-ranging testing is the only way' often leads to long-term projects with excessive modification man-hours. Many companies are also trapped in 'vendor lock-in,' unable to compare quotes or judge their validity. However, not every SAP update requires a large-scale overhaul. There is an option to maintain the core system while performing minimal modifications and testing. This seminar will explain how to use Panaya's impact analysis to visualize and organize the necessary scope of work, helping companies move toward more realistic technical upgrades.
