Evaluating Your SAP Options Before 2027

SAP’s 2027 deadline is coming fast, but rushing into RISE is not your only path.

In this webinar, Spinnaker Support SAP expert Shawn du Plessis and Jon Gill break down the real business, cost, risk, and resource implications of your SAP strategy. You’ll hear a practical, independent view of what SAP customers should evaluate before committing to a migration, extending SAP support, or exploring third-party support.

Watch the webinar to learn:


  • Why the 2027 deadline is real, but not your only decision point
  • What SAP extended support does and does not provide
  • How RISE can affect cost, control, customization, and long-term flexibility
  • Why highly customized ECC environments require deeper evaluation before migration
  • How third-party support can help reduce cost, preserve stability, and create room for modernization
  • What questions to ask before committing to any SAP roadmap

Watch now and explore your SAP options with clarity, confidence, and control.
