SAP IdM End-of-Life: Why Companies Should Act Now

Prepare in Time for the End of the SAP IdM Maintenance Contract

SAP Identity Management (IdM) Maintenance Ends in 2027                                                                                    How can you find the right successor solution?                                                  We are here to help!

SAP Identity Management (IdM) will be discontinued on December 31, 2027. As of this date, SAP will cease maintenance for the solution. A one-time, paid extension until 2030 is possible, but it is primarily intended as an emergency option. Additionally, there will be no successor product for SAP IdM.

For companies, this means they must proactively address the challenge  of ensuring continuous IdM operations. This includes mitigating security risks, complying with regulatory requirements, and protecting and migrating existing investments in SAP IdM.

SAP recommends transitioning to tools such as SAP Identity Access Governance (IAG), SAP Identity Provisioning Service (IPS), SAP Identity Authentication Service (IAS), and SAP Identity Directory Service (IDS) for managing SAP systems. However, these cloud-based tools do not offer the full functionality of a central IdM system for every company and are not designed for managing non-SAP systems.

Future-Proof Identity Management: Your Options After the End of SAP IdM

What Comes After SAP IdM?

Choosing a new Identity Management (IdM) solution requires careful consideration.

Should it be an  on-premise solution or a cloud-based tool? What about functionality, adaptability, support for hybrid system landscapes, and user-friendliness? There is no single perfect solution, as available tools continue to evolve and converge in their capabilities.

We support you in identifying and implementing the right IAM solution tailored to your needs.

Why Making the Switch Now is Crucial

Maintenance contract ends in 2027

Without SAP support, security gaps and rising operating costs are imminent.

No official replacement

There is no direct SAP solution – a strategic decision must be made.

Urgency of switching

Your IT security architecture needs to be adjusted – migration is needed.

Rising costs and security risks

Without patches and updates, maintenance and operating costs increase, and security risks arise.
