Frequently asked questions

We’re here to help you navigate the migration process with confidence.

Each SAP BPC version has a specific end of maintenance date:

  • SAP BPC for Microsoft: End of maintenance is scheduled for June 30, 2026
  • SAP BPC for NetWeaver: End of maintenance is scheduled for December 31, 2027
  • SAP BPC for BW/4HANA (2021 Version): End of maintenance is also set for December 31, 2027

This means that after these dates, SAP will no longer provide regular updates, support, or fixes for SAP BPC. It’s crucial to plan your migration before this deadline to ensure continued support and system reliability.

Once SAP BPC reaches its end of maintenance, you will no longer receive updates or security patches, which could expose your system to risks. Additionally, support for troubleshooting issues will be limited. Migrating to a new system before this date ensures you continue to receive support and benefit from the latest features and security updates.

Migrating before the end of maintenance allows you to avoid potential risks associated with unsupported software. It also provides you with the opportunity to upgrade to more advanced solutions like SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) or OneStream, which offer enhanced features, better integration, and improved performance. Early migration ensures a smooth transition and uninterrupted support.

While you could wait until closer to the end of maintenance, early migration has several advantages, including avoiding last-minute challenges, minimizing disruption, and allowing more time for thorough planning and customization. Migrating sooner gives you ample time to adapt to the new system and fully leverage its capabilities.

SandPoint will assist you in every step of the migration process, from assessing your current setup to planning and executing the transition. We provide expert guidance on choosing the right solution, ensure a seamless migration with minimal disruption, and offer ongoing support to help you adapt to the new system effectively.

We ensure data integrity by creating a robust environment and structure for migration, meticulously loading and validating your data, and performing thorough checks to confirm accuracy. Our goal is to maintain the highest level of data quality throughout the transition.

We aim to minimize any disruption to your operations. Our streamlined process is designed to be as seamless as possible, with careful planning and execution to keep your business running smoothly. Regular communication and management ensure minimal impact on your daily activities.

Post-migration, we offer ongoing support and optimization to ensure you fully utilize your new system. This includes troubleshooting, additional training if needed, and advice on leveraging new features. Our commitment is to help you adapt and thrive with your new solution.

We will customize the system to fit your specific needs, including creating tailored cube views, dashboards, and workflows that enhance your business processes. Our goal is to make the new system user-friendly and perfectly aligned with your operational requirements.
