Mainstream maintenance for SAP ECC ends in 2027.
Now is the time to plan your transition.

If your organization uses SAP ERP HCM, mainstream maintenance ends at the end of 2027. Extended maintenance entails additional costs and is not a substitute for a modernization strategy. Delaying the transition can increase complexity, limit the options available and reduce the time available for a well-planned, secure migration.

Additional costs

Extended maintenance entails additional costs and prolongs dependence on infrastructure that needs to be modernized.

Risk of non-compliance

SAP processes approximately 700 legal changes worldwide each year.(1) Keeping pace with these developments without continuous updates increases the risk of non-compliance.

Payroll processing errors

Manual processes and fragmented systems increase the risk of payroll inconsistencies, affecting team capacity, costs and employee trust.

Which one sounds like you?

Every company comes from a different place. Here's how MAINGOAL People fits each starting point.

Priority 1 · Highest urgency
Migrating from SAP ECC

Migration isn't optional — but it doesn't have to be painful. MAINGOAL People migrates your HR to SAP SuccessFactors cloud in under 3 months. Native integration with your existing SAP ecosystem. No middleware rebuilds. No data loss. No disruption to payroll.

Trigger: ECC end of mainstream support 2027
Company size: 200–1,000 employees
Priority 2 · Strategic
HR evolution within SAP S/4HANA

Your ERP has already evolved. Now it is time to evolve HR.

If your organization already uses SAP S/4HANA - on-premises or Private Cloud - and keeps HCM in the same environment, the next step is to modernize people management.MAINGOAL People enables the transition to SAP SuccessFactors Employee Central and Payroll while maintaining integration with your SAP ecosystem. A cloud-based platform, centralized HR data and a solution designed to evolve with the needs of your business.

Driver: HR-Finance data unification
Company size: 200 to 1,000 employees
Priority 3 · Growth
Not yet managing HR on SAP

Excel and local providers for 200+ people. For how long?

Managing 200+ people with a patchwork of tools costs more than you think: payroll errors every month, zero workforce visibility, compliance done at the last minute. MAINGOAL People replaces the patchwork with one enterprise-grade platform — without enterprise-grade complexity or cost.
