IBM releases SAP tool as migration deadline looms

Fueled by generative and agentic AI, the IBM Consulting Application Management Suite for SAP aims to simplify the transition to S/4HANA.

Dive Brief: 

• IBM launched the IBM Consulting Application Management Suite for SAP to simplify and accelerate modernization efforts using generative and agentic AI, the company announced Monday. 
• Despite potential benefits from migrating to SAP S/4HANA, IBM said enterprise transition to the ERP system can be slowed by “legacy complexity, fragmented processes, and resource-intensive operations.” 
• SAP’s legacy ECC ERP system support will end in 2027 as the company aims to transition customers to its flagship ERP system S/4HANA. As the deadline looms, just 45% of organizations are live on the new ERP system, according to a survey of Americas’ SAP Users’ Group cited by IBM.
