SAP IDM End of Life: Your Migration Playbook

 Executive & Practitioner Webinar 

 

SAP IDM reaches end of mainstream maintenance December 31, 2027 — and real migrations take 18 to 24 months. That means the window to act is now, not later.

This session brings together identity leaders from Empower ID and Deloitte to give you a no-fluff, no-sales-pitch roadmap for what comes next.

Inside:

  • The hidden cost of fragmented SAP and non-SAP identity stacks — and why patching them together isn't enough

  • Why SAP's own tools and Microsoft Entra ID don't solve the unified IGA problem

  • A proven coexistence migration model: current state → transition → end state

  • Hard-won lessons from real enterprise migrations on stakeholders, test environments, and change management

 

For IT leaders, CISOs, and IAM architects at organizations running SAP IDM who need a realistic path forward before the 2027 deadline.

Why this Matters

Why the SAP IDM Clock Is Already Running Out

 Migrations don't fail because of technology. They fail because organizations underestimate complexity and start too late. 

The "Big Bang" Cutover Doesn't Work

 Enterprise environments are too large and complex for a wholesale cutover. Connections to hundreds of systems, custom workflows, and critical business logic require a phased, coexistence-based approach — or you're setting yourself up for failure. 

Fragmented Identity Stacks Are a Governance Liability

 When SAP and non-SAP systems are managed in separate IAM stacks, joiner-mover-leaver processes run at different times with different logic. The result: duplicate accounts, excessive access accumulation, and blind spots your auditors will find before you do. 

SAP's Own Tools Only Go So Far

 SAP IAG, IAS, and IPS are strong within the SAP ecosystem. But cross-system governance, unified access request management, and enterprise-wide identity lifecycle management require a platform built for the full landscape.

Cloud Access Management

Minimize Risk in Cloud by provisioing just the right amount of permissions at the right time to every single user.

The Deadline Is Closer Than It Looks

 18–24 months for a real migration. Extended maintenance runs to 2030, but mainstream support ends December 2027. Organizations that haven't started planning are already behind the curve.
