The SAP enterprise resource planning (ERP) system is about to reach a critical juncture as the vendor announces it will stop providing full updates, bug fixes, and improvements for its older, on-premises versions of the system in the near future. SAP has set a roadmap for its ERP Central Component (ECC) versions EHP0-5 to reach the end of mainstream support by 2025, while EHP6-8 versions will reach the end of mainstream support by 2027. This means that SAP will no longer be providing full updates, bug fixes, and improvements for these older systems. DyFlex Solutions, a Perth-based SAP platinum partner, is well-positioned to capitalize on this shift. The company currently has only a handful of customers left on an on-premises SAP solution and expects to have all of its remaining customers migrated to SAP Cloud by the end of next year. In an interview with ARN, DyFlex co-CEO Jason Heaney explained that the company is well ahead of the game when it comes to SAP Cloud migration. “We’re heavily invested in trying to bring new customers to the SAP platform on Cloud ERP,” he said. “For us to grow our business, [we] need to bring in the new customers … that is stream one; stream two is this large installed base they also need to move to the cloud.”
DyFlex has been an early adopter of SAP Cloud technologies in the mid-market and has expanded its offerings to cover all of SAP’s products. The company has a significant installed base of customers, but Heaney believes that this base can be upgraded to the SAP Cloud with essentially the same underlying system and then progressively adopt other SAP products. “Most people have invested in frontline systems, but there’s always apps that are lagging behind and then they’ve painted themselves into a corner with without being current,” Heaney explained. “A lot of systems then can’t integrate and take advantage of some of the SAP technologies.”
Despite the challenges of migrating a large installed base to the SAP Cloud, DyFlex considers that to be “less of an issue” in the segments it deals with. The company has a strong focus on the mid-market and has been successful in bringing SAP into the market in Australia. DyFlex has always been early adopters of SAP’s products and has a deep understanding of how the system works. The company’s service providers are trained to explain how SAP solutions can solve business problems, rather than just highlighting technical features. The company has recently entered into a strategic partnership with private equity firm Five V Capital to accelerate its growth locally and across Asia. This partnership provides an opportunity for DyFlex to acquire a willing SAP partner and accelerate its growth. As the SAP ERP system moves towards the end of mainstream support, DyFlex is well-positioned to capitalize on the shift. The company’s focus on SAP Cloud migration and its experience in the mid-market make it an ideal partner for businesses looking to migrate their ERP systems to the cloud. SAP Cloud Migration Benefits
