Will SAP be obsolete?
SAP has said that until December 31, 2025, it will continue to offer support to its customers on legacy software. After that, it will no longer support it. 2025 is a real deadline—but only for SAP, not its customers.
What is the future for SAP?
There’s no future in legacy SAP ERP past 2025. SAP won’t be releasing new patches or addressing vulnerabilities on that platform. Expertise will start to dry up as the previous generation of functional and technical support resources either retire or move to the new platform.

When will sap end support for Oracle products?
