SAP BW before 2027: Safeguarding freedom of decision-making instead of acting under time pressure

2027 - This date is coming up in more and more conversations. 

Not in official meetings. But afterwards. In passing. 
With the sentence: “We really should be dealing with our SAP BW…” 

The Inconvenient Truth 

SAP BW will not end in 2027. 
But Their freedom of choice much earlier. 

At a certain point, there are only two modes: 

• migrate hectically 
• or extend at a high cost 

Neither of these is a strategy. 

BW is not an IT issue 

It is one Management decision, which determines: 

• how quickly your business will get answers tomorrow 
• whether analytics enables or blocks innovation 

and whether you will shape 2030 – or merely protect yourself. 

Three ways – zero excuses

1. SAP BW/4HANAFor companies with a strong business administration core. Not pretty. But clean. 👉 Planning security until 2040.
2. Cloud migration to Datasphere & BDCFor organizations that want to rethink analytics. 👉 Flexible, cloud-based, business-oriented. 
3. SAP BW Private Cloud EditionNot a final goal, but a deliberately chosen intermediate step. 
   👉 Stability and security until 2030. 

In this example, a capital position in combination with sub-position 625, used for capital increases, must be set as a prerequisite. In the substitution section, the capital consolidation activity 05 (capital increase) must be inserted.

Success begins before technology

Successful customers start with plain language: 

• What is actually being used? 
• Which reports are still relevant? 
• Where does custom code hinder more than it helps? 

The SAP Readiness Check is not a tool. It is the moment when excuses end. 

Our experience 

The best projects begin long before migrationThe worst ones included: “We need to hurry now…” 

2027 is not a risk. Indecisiveness is. 

Anyone who still "just lets their Bundeswehr run its course" today, 
Pay later – with money, time, or both.
