Four pieces to start with.
What the 2027 ECC date actually means for a mid-sized manufacturer
Eighteen months of runway sounds generous until you work backwards from a go-live rather than forwards from today.
CostWhy your HANA licence jumped without anyone adding a user
Memory is licensed in blocks. There is no half step, so a year of ordinary data growth can trigger a full increase that nobody budgeted for.
MigrationReduce first, migrate second, and what that saves you
Every terabyte you leave behind is infrastructure, subscription cost and downtime you never pay for. The saving only exists if the reduction happens first.
ComplianceDPDP, retention rules and the SAP data you should have deleted
Retention is a compliance obligation and a cost lever at the same time. Most SAP estates treat it as neither, which is why the two conversations never meet.
Start with the measurement.
Every piece here ends the same way, because the answer usually does. Tell us what you are running and we will tell you what it is costing.
