ECC Decommissioning with Archon: Simplifying SAP Retirement
Date: July 16, 12:30 PM – 1:30 PM IST
Speaker: Jagadeesh Kumar M
AVP – SAP Technology Architect
Many enterprises have already modernized parts of their SAP landscape, but SAP ECC systems continue running long after active business operations have moved elsewhere. The reason is rarely technical alone.
Historical data dependencies, audit requirements, reporting needs, custom objects, and business access concerns make ECC retirement more complicated than expected. As a result, organizations continue spending on infrastructure, maintenance, support, and operational overhead for systems that are no longer actively used. Without proper planning, ECC decommissioning introduces business, compliance, and access risks.
This is why enterprises are now taking a more structured and automated approach to SAP ECC retirement.
