✔ Free support for SAP ECC 6.0 is planned to end in 2027. Customers are now planning their migration to SAP S4/HANA®*.
✔ S4/HANA® provides a new variant configuration management application named AVC and SAP is strongly urging its customers to migrate from the existing variant configuration management application LO-VC to AVC.
✔ Configit Ace® can be a compelling option that can both support existing product models in SAP and provide a more modern, cloud-based variant configuration solution.
*SAP S/4HANA is the trademark or registered trademark of SAP SE or its affiliates in Germany and in other countries.
