Third-party software support is a popular replacement for SAP-provided application support. It’s a fraction of the cost, provides a more responsive and comprehensive service, and allows you to retain your reliable legacy SAP products for as long as you require.
SAP’s recent extension of support deadlines doesn’t change the fact that in time, many of the enterprise products you rely on will reach End of Mainstream Maintenance or End of Life. With its ambitious revenue goals, SAP is putting the sales and auditing pressure on you to drive upgrades and commit you to its long-term Cloud product path. In the meantime, SAP continues to ratchet up your annual support fees while delivering less and less value for established on-premise products.
