SAP wants to establish a new ERP era by 2025. It will be called S\/4 and will be based on the in-memory computing database Hana.<\/p>\n<p>This immediately raises the question of what to do with the legacy R\/3, R\/3 Enterprise, ERP\/ECC 6.0 and the \"old\" SAP Business Suite 7 on AnyDB?<\/p><div id=\"great-1144389586\" class=\"great-fullsize-content-en great-entity-placement\" style=\"margin-bottom: 20px;\"><a data-no-instant=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6ZGXMPyM-nU\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"a2t-link\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"banner_26-04_29_1200x150\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-3.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-3.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-3-400x50.jpg 400w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-3-768x96.jpg 768w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-3-100x13.jpg 100w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-3-480x60.jpg 480w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-3-640x80.jpg 640w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-3-720x90.jpg 720w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-3-960x120.jpg 960w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-3-1168x146.jpg 1168w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-3-18x2.jpg 18w, https:\/\/e3mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/banner_26-04_29_1200x150-3-600x75.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" width=\"1200\" height=\"150\"  style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Naturally, many components and concepts of R\/3 and ECC 6.0 are outdated, old-fashioned and antiquated. But does that mean you have to march in the opposite direction?<\/p>\n<p>There is a lot of knowledge and love in the so-called old systems of existing SAP customers. The existing Abap modifications were perhaps not always necessary. So SAP is right to call for a fresh start and a clean-out. Many users in the SAP community are asking themselves whether it could not work with less revolution.<\/p>\n<p>At the moment, there is an urge at SAP to leave no stone unturned: What do the Walldorfers care about the chatter of the past few years when new, even fatter revenues are on the horizon with an S\/4 and Hana. Money is no solution! Existing SAP customers have always been willing to pay high fees for good performance.<\/p>\n<p>But now the situation is different: SAP wants to start a new era with all its might. The sins of youth are to be quickly forgotten and the new introduced without opposition. SAP sees its successful past as a legacy. SAP's existing customers, on the other hand, are trying to save what can be saved, because there is a lot of experience in the legacy systems.<\/p>\n<p>But even SAP will not achieve the ERP revolution overnight. SAP systems are too large and too complex to be eliminated or renewed in a single stroke. SAP users need not fear for their S\/7, and SAP will not be able to replace S\/7 with S\/4 by 2025.<\/p>\n<p>S\/4 needs S\/7. From the brave new S\/4 world there are the Finance and Logistics modules. These are extensions to an S\/7 system based on the Hana database. The expert calls it Suite on Hana (SoH).<\/p>\n<p>Accordingly, the satisfied existing SAP customer must first migrate his S\/7 to Hana, then he can devote himself to S\/4 Finance and Logistics - all other functions and modules remain with him: The old knowledge is saved.<\/p>\n<p>And also many Abap modifications and add-ons should continue to work. Nothing is as hot as it is cooked.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are always two sides. When two argue, there are sometimes three opinions.
