The Executive Imperative

SAP landscapes are reaching an inflection point. Escalating infrastructure costs, increasing regulatory demands, and the approaching 2027 ECC support deadline are reshaping how organizations think about enterprise IT.

For CFOs, CIOs, and Procurement leaders, the decision is no longer whether to migrate SAP workloads to the cloud, but how—and how soon. This guide distills the core considerations, trade-offs, and leadership priorities that will define successful transformation.
