SOLUTIONS · SAP MIGRATION
SAP ECC support ends in 2027. Here's what specialty chemical manufacturers are moving to.
SAP ECC mainstream support ends December 2027. For mid-market specialty chemical companies, the default upgrade path (S/4HANA) is expensive, disruptive, and not built for how a specialty chemical business actually runs. Worldover is purpose-built for chemicals, deploys in 3 months, and costs 30% less.

The migration reality
Why S/4HANA isn't the right answer for mid-market specialty chemicals.
SAP S/4HANA is an enterprise platform designed for large, complex organisations with long implementation timelines and large IT teams to manage them. For a 100 to 500 person specialty chemicals business, an S/4HANA migration typically costs 3 to 5 times more than the software itself in implementation fees, takes 18 to 36 months, and still requires add-ons for SDS authoring, REACH compliance, and formulation management. Worldover is built natively for these requirements. No add-ons, no systems integrators, no multi-year timeline.
