SAP ECC Migration
Migration and Modernization with Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations
SAP ECC (SAP ERP 6.0) has supported organizations reliably for many years. But with the end of mainstream maintenance approaching in 2027, organizations must decide what their ERP landscape should look like in the future.

It also provides native integration with Microsoft Copilot, Microsoft 365, Azure, Power BI, and the Power Platform.
As a certified Microsoft Solutions Partner, Dynamity helps organizations successfully modernize their ERP landscape and supports projects from initial strategy through implementation and long-term operations.

SAP ECC End of Support 2027: Why Now Is the Time to Define Your ERP Strategy
For many SAP ECC customers, 2027 marks a critical milestone. Mainstream Maintenance for key SAP ERP 6.0 versions ends on December 31, 2027. While extended maintenance may be available until 2030, it comes with additional costs.
End of Maintenance Is Approaching
SAP ECC is gradually reaching the end of its maintenance lifecycle. Organizations should evaluate their ERP strategy early and actively plan for the future beyond SAP ECC.
High Complexity
Years of customized SAP processes, integrations, interfaces, and legacy data can make migration projects challenging and resource-intensive.
Limited Innovation
Legacy ERP environments often hinder automation initiatives, cloud transformation, operational transparency, and data-driven decision-making.
Rising Costs
Extended maintenance fees and the ongoing operation of complex ERP landscapes can increasingly impact budgets and IT resources.

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.
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
- 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.
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. With our experience in helping customers migrate from SAP to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, as well as our expertise in data migration, integration and process consulting, we support a controlled and structured transition.
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.
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.
