      Preparing for the End of SAP Solution Manager: What Comes Next?

      The end of SAP Solution Manager marks a major shift for SAP customers worldwide. As support winds down in 2027, organizations running ECC, S/4HANA on-prem, or hybrid environments must act now to secure their SAP operations future.

      In this Whitepaper, “Solutions for the End of Solution Manager,” Avantra explores the operational and strategic implications of this change from the loss of monitoring, automation, and change management capabilities to the emergence of next-generation alternatives.

      Key Learnings and Challenges Explored

      The Whitepaper dives deep into the risks, gaps, and opportunities created by the end of SAP Solution Manager and what this means for large enterprises:

      • End of support in 2027: Critical Solution Manager features including monitoring, infrastructure management, change control, and testing will no longer be available without extended support.
      • Feature gaps in SAP Cloud ALM: The official replacement lacks full functionality parity, particularly for complex on-prem and hybrid SAP landscapes.
      • Operational risk during transition: Enterprises face potential monitoring blind spots, automation loss, and compliance challenges as they migrate from legacy tools.
      • Complex hybrid environments: Managing ECC, S/4HANA, RISE, and hyperscaler deployments simultaneously amplifies the challenge.
      • Need for specialized functionality: Enterprises will require advanced monitoring, automation, and security tools that go beyond what SAP’s native offerings can deliver.

      With time running out, organizations must begin assessing alternatives to maintain performance, security, and operational resilience post-Solution Manager.
