Brazilian Enterprises Eye SAP Cloud Migration Challenges
SíO PAULO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A growing number of enterprises in Brazil are migrating to SAP S/4HANA and SAP's SuccessFactors human capital management platform as they integrate new technologies and navigate a complex and changing regulatory environment, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm. Brazilian SAP customers face a reckoning with the end of ECC support and the need to comply with new regulations and tax reforms. Service providers are integrating AI and automation to meet the needs of different types of organizations. Share The 2025 ISG Provider Lens™ SAP Ecosystem report for Brazil finds that the impending end of support for legacy systems is the central challenge for SAP customers in the country. Though SAP offers extended maintenance for ERP Central Component (ECC) until 2030, official technical support is set to end in 2027. Companies are carefully evaluating alternatives to ensure business continuity, regulatory compliance and operations modernization. These include migrating to SAP S/4HANA or adopting the RISE with SAP or GROW with SAP programs, which the company says are designed to streamline business operations. 'Brazilian SAP customers face a reckoning with the end of ECC support and the need to comply with new regulations and tax reforms,' said Bill Huber, partner, digital platforms and solutions, for ISG. 'Service providers are integrating AI and automation to meet the needs of different types of organizations.' Large enterprises in Brazil continue to resist the RISE model, preferring to preserve budgets for internal improvements and prepare for the impact of new tax laws, the report says. However, some are adopting GROW with SAP to streamline operations, especially following mergers and acquisitions. GROW combines several components for cloud transformation, including technology solutions and rapid implementation services, and is designed primarily for midsize businesses, ISG says. Some companies believe GROW lacks maturity, especially in its localization capabilities, but some service providers in Brazil report significant revenue from it, which may demonstrate that it meets a wide range of client needs when well executed, ISG says. The use of SAP managed application services in Brazil has declined with the emergence of new AI and automation technologies, the report says. Providers are expected to align their solutions with the new technologies, with the services evolving into a more agile and intelligent model that includes automation and real-time monitoring to cut costs and increase productivity. Interest in SAP SuccessFactors HXM has grown in Brazil as enterprises seek to customize recruitment, onboarding and performance evaluation through AI, ISG says. There is strong demand for solutions that enable compliance with Brazilian legislation on issues such as payroll administration, time management and taxes. 'Brazil's changing regulatory and tax landscape requires constant enterprise attention,' said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. 'SAP users should partner with providers that remain up to date and agile to ensure continued compliance.' The report also examines other SAP ecosystem trends affecting enterprises in Brazil, including SAP's extensions to its Joule AI copilot and the continued importance of managed cloud services for SAP ERP. For more insights into the SAP-related challenges facing enterprises in Brazil, plus ISG's advice for addressing them, see the ISG Provider Lens™ Focal Points briefing here. The 2025 ISG Provider Lens™ SAP Ecosystem report for Brazil evaluates the capabilities of 45 providers across five quadrants: SAP S/4HANA System Transformation — Large Accounts, SAP S/4HANA System Transformation — Midmarket, SAP Application Managed Services, Managed Cloud Services for SAP ERP and SAP SuccessFactors HXM Partner Services. The report names Accenture, Atos, Capgemini, Deloitte and T-Systems as Leaders in four quadrants each. It names NTT DATA and Wipro as Leaders in three quadrants each and Infosys, Softtek, Stefanini and Tech Mahindra as Leaders in two quadrants each. BCI Consulting, EPI-USE, Essence, Exed Consulting, HR Path, HRST, Kyndryl, Megawork, Meta, Numen, SEIDOR, Strada and TIVIT are named as Leaders in one quadrant each. In addition, Minsait is named as a Rising Star — a company with a 'promising portfolio' and 'high future potential' by ISG's definition — in two quadrants. Engine and SPS Group are named as Rising Stars in one quadrant each. Customized versions of the report are available from Megawork, Meta and NTT DATA. In the area of customer experience, Wipro is named the global ISG CX Star Performer for 2024 among SAP ecosystem providers. Wipro earned the highest customer satisfaction scores in ISG's Voice of the Customer survey, which is part of the ISG Star of Excellence™ program, the premier quality recognition for the technology and business services industry.

SAP Cloud Migrations Drive Demand for Ecosystem Services
STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Enterprises around the world are cautiously migrating from SAP ERP to SAP S/4HANA and working with service providers to navigate the financial and operational complexities involved, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm. Moving core ERP functions to the cloud is such a daunting task for enterprises that many question whether it is worth the effort and investment. They look to SAP's diverse ecosystem of providers for migration strategies that answer their challenges. Share The 2025 ISG Provider Lens™ global SAP Ecosystem report finds that many companies have difficulty understanding the total cost of SAP migration and building a strong business case for moving to cloud-based S/4HANA. Though under pressure to act, due to the pending end of support for SAP ERP Central Component (ECC) in 2027, they are moving carefully to maintain business continuity and minimize the impact of the transition. 'Moving core ERP functions to the cloud is such a daunting task for enterprises that many question whether it is worth the effort and investment,' said Bill Huber, ISG partner, digital platforms and solutions. 'They look to SAP's diverse ecosystem of providers for migration strategies that answer their specific business and technical challenges.' Two major SAP cloud migration offerings, RISE with SAP and GROW with SAP, are gaining traction with different types of organizations, the report says. Both are designed to help enterprises streamline business operations and become more agile, and service providers play key roles in implementing both. RISE with SAP offers a holistic transformation approach aimed at enterprises starting to move to the cloud. Adoption is growing more slowly than expected, but companies are beginning to understand the components of the package so they can make more informed decisions about using it, ISG says. Service providers that understand specific industries are developing tailored migration plans for quicker deployment and faster time to market. Companies considering RISE with SAP seek providers that can deliver effective communication and comprehensive support frameworks GROW with SAP, designed as a scalable, accelerated path to cloud adoption, is gaining significant momentum among fast-growing small and lower midmarket companies and subsidiaries, ISG says. The package, which enables the adoption of SAP best practices with minimal customizations, is designed to allow a quick return on investment. Providers are supporting GROW with SAP with prebuilt templates and accelerators. As companies move SAP workloads to the cloud, they are increasingly focused on cost optimization, the report says. Many are turning to providers for FinOps practices to control cloud spending and maximize return on investment. Companies seek to measure the cost of individual business transactions and processes in the cloud, making AI an increasingly important analytical tool. A growing number of enterprises are using SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) to take a Clean Core approach to SAP implementations for easier upgrades and better performance, ISG says. Service providers are building industry-specific solutions on top of BTP to help clients integrate digital processes and accelerate innovation. SAP Business AI, including the Joule generative AI copilot, is also gaining momentum, though some enterprises still want more clarity about its pricing, the report says. 'Joule has many potential use cases across industries and departments to improve insights and decision-making,' said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. 'Enterprises are working with providers to get maximum business value from it.' The report also explores other trends affecting enterprises using SAP, including rising concerns about compliance and security and the need for change management. For more insights into the SAP-related challenges facing enterprises worldwide, along with ISG's advice for addressing them, see the ISG Provider Lens™ Focal Points briefing here. The 2025 ISG Provider Lens™ global SAP Ecosystem report evaluates the capabilities of 45 providers across four quadrants: RISE with SAP Implementation Partners, SAP Business AI and Business Technology Platform (BTP) Services, Cloud Economics and FinOps Services for SAP and GROW with SAP Implementation Partners (Midsize providers). The report names Accenture, Capgemini, HCLTech, IBM, Infosys and Wipro as Leaders in three quadrants each. It names Cognizant, LTIMindtree, TCS and Tech Mahindra as Leaders in two quadrants each. Atos, Cognitus, Deloitte, Globant, KaarTech, Stefanini, Syntax and YASH Technologies are named as Leaders in one quadrant each. In addition, Cognitus, Delaware and DXC Technology are named as Rising Stars — companies with a 'promising portfolio' and 'high future potential' by ISG's definition — in one quadrant each. In the area of customer experience, Wipro is named the global ISG CX Star Performer for 2025 among SAP ecosystem providers. Wipro earned the highest customer satisfaction scores in ISG's Voice of the Customer survey, part of the ISG Star of Excellence™ program, the premier quality recognition for the technology and business services industry.
