As organisations accelerate their migration from legacy SAP ECC systems to S/4HANA, many face critical challenges around data management and legacy system decommissioning. Don’t let valuable historical data become a liability, rather transform it into a strategic asset. Unlock the full value of your digital transformation and SAP ERP decommissioning with proven strategies from industry leaders.
The challenge: What keeps CIOs and CEOs up at night?
The journey to S/4HANA is fraught with complexity. A single ECC system can have 500-600 interfaces with numerous satellite systems, and nobody truly knows what happens when you switch to something new. Industry research reveals a troubling pattern: organisations complete their ECC to S/4HANA transformation, build business cases assuming they’ll retire old systems, but ultimately keep legacy systems running because they don’t know what to do with the data. The result? Unrealised cost savings and ongoing operational burdens.
The hidden costs of inaction include
- Continuous software updates for legacy systems
- Ongoing security maintenance requirements
- Operational overhead for non-productive systems
- Compliance risks from outdated data management capabilities

Why legacy data matters more than ever
In today’s day and age, data is the new oil, and your historical information holds untapped potential for AI, machine learning, and predictive analytics.
True transformation means completing the full transition from old to new. Migrating only part of your data leaves the job half-done; it is imperative to ensure proper SAP ERP decommissioning while retaining access to your legacy data. Why? Because, the data that remains in your ECC system is highly valuable, containing critical business information that should be available for analytics, data mining, and strategic decision-making.
With AI integration now embedded across enterprise systems, organisations can train models to leverage data from legacy sources, compiling insights that were previously impossible to extract. The question isn’t whether to preserve your legacy data, but how to make it accessible and actionable.
