Upgrade Challenges
• How to manage modifications?
• How to plan and manage testing?
• Do I need additional systems? What would be the source for new
Server?
• What will be the impact on future development?
• How to freeze current development and production issues to isolate
them from the upgrade?
• How will the upgrade project be resourced through several monthswithout impacting business usual and other development projects?
• All the new SAP applications will be offered only based on Unicode.What are the implications, and how will these be handled in thetransition to upgrade SAP solutions?
• What implications do upgrades have on IT infrastructure such asprocessor, memory and storage capacity?

Typical Upgrade Timelines
• There are many variables which will ultimately affect the overall timeline – Number of development objects/customizations
– Current productive version
– Number of dedicated resources available – Status of test scripts
• Are they up to date? Can they be reused? – Amount of time required to procure incremental hardware, if required
– Scope of the upgrade
– Unicode Considerations
• Average durations for a technical upgrade: – 3.1x to ECC 6.0: 8-10 months
– 4.0b, 4.5b, to ECC 6.0: 6-8 months – 4.6c to ECC 6.0: 3-6 months
– 4.7, ECC 5.0 to ECC 6.0: 2-3 months
