SAP gave its largest ECC customers until 2035, ERP Today reported. They must be in its private cloud by 2030.
ECC is the older SAP system that runs finance, purchasing and production at many large firms.
The 2035 date is the latest this transition subscription may run. SAP first offered these customers a cloud subscription running from 2031 to 2033. It now runs to 31 December 2035.
The extra time has a price of entry. Systems must already sit on SAP ERP, private edition on SAP HANA before the end of 2030, and they must be at least 2 terabytes. The Max Success Plan, which includes transformation services, is required alongside the subscription. SAP's original terms priced the option at an uplift over private edition pricing; the report gives no figure.
On-premises ECC maintenance is not extended, an SAP Community post says. Customers get legal changes, security patches and bug fixes, and SAP expects them to keep moving to SAP Cloud ERP. SAP Note 3591251 lists the products that qualify.
