Bring your reporting landscape into the future: The end of maintenance for SAP BW is approaching
Still using SAP BW? Now is the perfect time to fundamentally modernize your reporting. It’s not just the approaching end of maintenance that makes this urgent—your data landscape’s future viability and efficiency are also at stake. Acting today secures your competitive edge for tomorrow.
SAP’s longest-standing data solution, SAP BW (Business Warehouse)—especially version 7.50 on HANA—will exit mainstream maintenance on December 31, 2027.
What does that mean in practice? Support will be limited or come at an additional cost, innovation will stall, and the risks around security and compliance will increase significantly.
While extended maintenance is available until the end of 2030, those aiming to future-proof their setup should act now and rethink their reporting landscape in a modern and sustainable way.
Modern, cloud-based alternative to SAP BW
SAP offers a variety of ways to redesign reporting and data landscapes to meet future demands. At the heart of this strategic direction is the SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC), in combination with SAP Datasphere. Together, they provide a modern, cloud-based alternative to the traditional BW architecture.
Rather than directly replacing SAP BW, SAP BDC opens up a new dimension: A next-generation, AI-ready platform that seamlessly unifies data integration, management, and analytics in a single environment—flexible, scalable, and built to meet tomorrow’s challenges.
Benefits of a conversion
The advantages of the new solution based on the SAP Business Data Cloud (BDC) compared to the traditional SAP BW architecture are numerous:
- Cloud-native platform: Scalable, flexible – Software-as-a-Service
- Real-time data integration: Fast access to up-to-date data from various sources
- AI and analytics capabilities: Built-in tools for modern data analysis and machine learning
- Open architecture: Easier integration of external systems and data sources
- Future-proof development: Continuous innovation and updates from SAP
Why Act Now?
- Technological lag compared to modern reporting solutions
- Rising operational costs due to maintenance of on-premise systems
- Missed innovation opportunities in AI and data management
