For SAP ERP 6.0 with Enhancement Packages 6, 7 and 8, Mainstream Maintenance ends on 31 December 2027. Optional Extended Maintenance is available until 31 December 2030. Different maintenance periods apply to older Enhancement Packages. 

Companies should therefore check which SAP ERP 6.0 version and Enhancement Package they currently use. 

Yes. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations is a cloud ERP platform for finance, supply chain, procurement, manufacturing and other core business processes.

It is particularly relevant for companies that want to modernise their ERP landscape and connect it more closely with Microsoft 365, Azure, Power BI and Power Platform.  

SAP S/4HANA is the direct successor to SAP ECC within the SAP ecosystem. Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations is an alternative cloud ERP platform within the Microsoft ecosystem.

Dynamics 365 can be particularly interesting for organisations that already use Microsoft 365, Azure, Power BI, Teams or Power Platform and want to connect their ERP environment more closely with these technologies.

The appropriate platform depends on the organisation’s processes, system landscape and strategic requirements. Companies should therefore evaluate both options as part of their future ERP strategy. 

Migrating from SAP ECC to Microsoft Dynamics 365 involves more than replacing the ERP software. Companies must also review their processes, interfaces, data, roles and working methods.

Typical challenges include:

• Established and highly customised SAP processes
• Complex interfaces with surrounding systems
• Legacy data from different sources
• New roles and ways of working
• Training requirements in business departments and IT

Dynamity helps companies identify and structure these areas early so that the migration can be prepared and implemented in a controlled manner. 

Data migration is an important part of every ERP modernisation project. Dynamity helps companies prepare data from SAP ECC and other legacy systems for Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations.

The migration process can include:

• Analysis of the existing data structures
• Preparation of field mappings
• Review of data quality and completeness
• Data validation
• Support with test migrations
• Preparation for the final go-live

Where appropriate, Dynamity also uses AI-supported approaches to prepare mappings, validations and data checks more efficiently. Dynamity Advanced Data Migration supports a faster, structured and AI-assisted migration of data from SAP to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations. 

Dynamity Advanced Data Migration

Yes. Dynamity supports companies not only during the implementation of Microsoft Dynamics 365, but also with knowledge transfer to business departments and IT.

The training and support services include:

• Training for key users
• Training for business departments and IT
• Support after the go-live
• Long-term support
• Continuous optimisation and further development

This helps employees use Microsoft Dynamics 365 confidently and integrate the new processes into their everyday work. 
 

Replacing SAP ECC with Microsoft Dynamics 365 can be particularly relevant for companies that want to modernise their ERP landscape and connect it more closely with Microsoft technologies.

The transition may be suitable for companies that:

• Want to reassess their existing SAP landscape
• Plan to modernise finance, supply chain and reporting
• Already use Microsoft 365, Azure, Power BI or Power Platform
• Want to standardise their business processes
• Need better transparency across Finance and Operations
• Want to reduce the complexity of established ERP structures
• Plan to respond to the end of SAP ECC maintenance at an early stage

The decision should be based on the company’s processes, integrations, data landscape and long-term ERP requirements. 
 

ERP modernisation affects more than the software itself. Processes, interfaces, data, organisational structures and users must also be prepared.

Starting early allows companies to:

• Define objectives and requirements more clearly
• Assess risks at an early stage
• Plan budgets and internal resources
• Involve business departments in good time
• Review existing processes and customisations
• Prepare data and interfaces properly
• Develop a deliberate ERP strategy for the period after SAP ECC

This helps turn the replacement of SAP ECC into a planned step towards a modern ERP landscape rather than a purely technical IT project.
