Move beyond SAP ECC and prepare for an AI-driven future
SAP ECC end-of-life is more than a support deadline. It is a strategic decision point that will shape your operating model for the next decade.
Many Retail, CPG and Distribution organizations are managing complex SAP estates with years of customization, fragmented local processes, disconnected reporting, and expensive integrations. Moving to S/4HANA may address the deadline, but it does not always resolve the wider challenge of creating a more connected, agile, and data-driven operating model.
In this live webinar, HSO and Microsoft will share how organizations can use this moment to rethink their ERP strategy and move to a modern, AI-ready platform with Microsoft Dynamics 365.
You will learn how to simplify operations, unify data, and enable AI-driven decision making across finance, supply chain, commerce, and customer engagement.
Why attend
If you are approaching the SAP ECC deadline, this session will help you take a more strategic, industry-specific view of your options.
You will gain a clear understanding of how to move beyond a technical upgrade and build a connected, AI-ready platform that supports omnichannel growth, operational efficiency, and faster decision making across Retail, CPG and Distribution.
You will also gain access to a complimentary SAP ECC to Microsoft Dynamics 365 evaluation workshop, designed to de-risk your decision and provide a clear, phased roadmap forward.
Who should attend
This live webinar is designed for leaders evaluating ERP strategy and transformation, including:
CIOs, CFOs, and COOs
ERP leaders and enterprise architects
IT and digital transformation leaders
Retail, CPG and Distribution executives
Microsoft account teams
This session is especially relevant for organizations assessing S/4HANA, delaying ERP decisions, or looking to unlock more value from data and AI.
What you'll learn
In this 60-minute live session, we will cover:
What the SAP ECC end-of-life timeline means for Retail, CPG and Distribution organizations and why the decision window is now
Why the default S/4HANA path is not always the only or best strategic option
How Microsoft Dynamics 365 connects finance, supply chain, commerce, customer engagement, and data on a single platform
How industry-specific challenges such as omnichannel operations, inventory visibility, pricing, fulfilment, and B2B distribution can be addressed
The growing role of AI, Copilot, and agent-led processes in ERP transformation
What a lower-risk, phased migration and roadmap from SAP ECC to Dynamics 365 could look like
The session will conclude with a live Q&A, giving you the opportunity to explore your specific challenges with our experts.
