Custom Enterprise Pricing

This ERP does not publish a standard price list. All pricing is negotiated directly with the vendor or authorised partner based on your specific requirements: module scope, user count, infrastructure, contract length, and strategic value. Custom-priced ERPs are almost always negotiable — engaging an independent ERP advisor or specialist procurement consultant typically saves 15–30% versus vendor-led negotiations.

About SAP ECC Pricing

SAP ECC uses traditional on-premise enterprise licensing with named-user pricing across multiple user types. As SAP ends mainstream maintenance in 2027 (extended to 2030 for an additional fee), ECC customers face a strategic decision: migrate to S/4HANA or extend support. S/4HANA migration projects typically cost 1.5–3× the original ECC implementation.

SAP ECC Pricing FAQs

How much does it cost to migrate from SAP ECC to S/4HANA?

S/4HANA migration costs typically range from $1M to $50M+ depending on system complexity, customisation volume, and migration approach (brownfield conversion vs greenfield reimplementation). Most enterprises budget 1.5–3× their original ECC implementation cost.

When does SAP ECC end of life?

SAP mainstream maintenance for ECC 6.0 ends in 2027. SAP offers extended maintenance until 2030 for an additional fee (typically 2% increase over standard maintenance rates). After 2030, customers must either migrate to S/4HANA, use third-party support providers, or accept end-of-support risk.
