S/4HANA Business Case | Journey & Roadmaping Assessment Service Overview
Your SAP landscape has a 2027 deadline. We help you meet it — and we bring the people to do it
Westrocon Enterprise Solutions is the advisory and delivery arm of the Westrocon group — an SAP Platinum Partner since 2012 and the UNITED VARS member for South Africa.
We tell you what your SAP estate really looks like, build the business case, and then supply the skills, the certified people and the procurement route to deliver it.
Every prospect still running ECC already knows their deadline. Leading with it rather than with our history is the highest-value change on the page — and the second clause, that we bring the people, is the differentiator no competitor can copy quickly.

| Mainstream maintenance ends | End of 2027 | SAP will provide mainstream maintenance until the end of 2027 for SAP Business Suite 7 core applications, which includes SAP ERP 6.0. |
| Optional extended maintenance |
|
Available for three years, at a premium of two percentage points on the maintenance basis |
| After that | Customer-specific maintenance | Customers who do not take extended maintenance, or whose extended maintenance has ended, drop to customer-specific maintenance — no new fixes, no legal or regulatory updates. |
| SAP S/4HANA commitment | 2040 | SAP has committed to keeping at least one S/4HANA release in maintenance until the end of 2040. |
The 2% premium and the drop to customer-specific maintenance are the two details worth using in copy.
“Doing nothing” is not a free option — it is a price increase followed by a support cliff. The 2040 commitment is the reassurance on the other side: this is a platform with a twenty-year runway, not another migration in five years.

About Westrocon Enterprise Solutions
Westrocon Enterprise Solutions is the advisory and delivery arm of the Westrocon group. We plan, build, migrate and support SAP landscapes for organisations across South Africa and the wider continent.
We do not compete on volume with the Big Four or the large system integrators. We compete on depth, speed and rigour — starting with an evidence-based assessment of what you actually run, not what the documentation says you run, and building the business case before anyone touches a system.
And we go further than advice. Once the roadmap is agreed, we train your people, supply the certified SAP consultants to deliver it, and support what we build through an SAP-certified Partner Centre of Expertise.
