SAP Upgrade to ERP 6.0

ERP 6.0 is the latest technical upgrade to existing SAP ERP systems and many companies currently running instances of SAP R/3 4.6c, ECC5 and earlier versions will either need to extend their maintenance agreements, or upgrade to ERP 6.0 before the end of 2010. The benefits of upgrading to ERP 6.0 sooner rather than later are driven by cost saving and gaining competitive advantage. The competitive advantage of upgrading to ERP 6.0 is realised in the increased flexibility of your ERP.

The constant changing business requirements means that a system such as SAP needs to adapt rapidly to the evolving business environment. If by the end of 2010 you’re running an earlier version of SAP than ERP 6.0, maintenance costs would be significantly higher. Upgrades can take the form of a “like-for-like” upgrade with no additional functionality or components or they can include system enhancements and additional functionality. The “like-for-like” upgrade or ERP 6.0 technical upgrade is the lowest risk solution with the shortest implementation timeframe.
