Own360 vs SAP
Facing the 2027 SAP deadline? Compare your options.
Mainstream maintenance for SAP ECC 6.0 ends at the end of 2027, and SAP is steering customers to RISE with SAP, a cloud subscription. OwnERP gives you a third path: a self-hosted ERP you own outright, connected to finance, HR and procurement from day one.
Side by side
| Own360 | SAP | |
|---|---|---|
| Deadline pressure | No forced upgrade cycle. You own the version you run. | ECC 6.0 mainstream maintenance ends at the end of 2027; extended maintenance runs to 2030 at a premium [1]. |
| Licensing direction | Perpetual licence (CapEx), or a managed subscription (OpEx). | SAP's offer for ECC customers centres on RISE with SAP, a cloud subscription [1]. |
| Deployment | Self-hosted: on-premise, private cloud or air-gapped. | S/4HANA cloud editions, or on-premise deployment. |
| Scope | OwnERP for procurement, inventory, vendors and disbursements, with OwnBooks, OwnExpense and OwnHRMS on the same model. | Broad ERP suite, with modules licensed and implemented by scope. |
| Migration | OwnETL migrates data and business logic; the old system stays read-only for ninety days as a safety net. | Brownfield, greenfield or selective conversion, usually run with a systems integrator. |
| Time to first workloads | Stack up and running in two weeks; full cutover typically by week eight. | Depends on the conversion approach and programme scope. |
When Own360 is the better fit
You do not want to sign a new multi-year cloud subscription
A perpetual licence keeps ERP as an asset on the balance sheet instead of a rising operating cost.
You need ERP on your own infrastructure
Run it on-premise, in your private cloud or air-gapped, with no data leaving your perimeter.
You want results this quarter, not after a long programme
Land where the pain is highest, then expand app by app.
When SAP may still suit you
You run deeply customised SAP industry solutions that you intend to keep. Your group has standardised on SAP across subsidiaries and wants one vendor.
