SAP ECC 6 and Odoo: let Odoo show you what modern looks like

For organizations deciding what follows SAP ECC 6.

Too deep?

The short answer

SAP ECC 6 is a good fit for organizations that have run their core on SAP for many years.
Odoo is a good fit for units, sites and countries that want modern ways of working now, and mid-sized ECC sites ready to move.
TRC ERP sets Odoo up for your business and connects what you keep.

What SAP ECC 6 does well

ECC 6 has run the core of many organizations for two decades, and their teams know it deeply.

Dates to know

SAP mainstream maintenance for SAP ERP 6.0 ends at the end of 2027. Optional extended maintenance runs to the end of 2030, at a higher fee.
A separate transition option (SAP ERP, private edition) runs from 2031 to 2033 for qualifying systems. SAP says it is not a maintenance extension.

Where Odoo fits

Before committing to a full S/4HANA program, put one unit, site or country on Odoo and see modern ways of working with your own data.
For a mid-sized ECC site, Odoo can be the next platform, with your history carried across.

The deciding factor: Whether the move to S/4HANA rebuilds today's processes, or is the chance to change how parts of the business work.

Larger organizations

ECC stays as the core while you decide, and Odoo proves itself in one unit first. For larger organizations, the requirements stage is shaped to you. If your processes are documented and your requirements are clear, 60 days can be enough. Most larger organizations need a little longer. We agree the timing and terms with you, and often it is still at our risk.
