SAP ERP 6.0 at a Fixed Price
By: Christiane Stagge
Upgrades and updates take time, money, and an understanding of technical and organizational aspects. Here, SAP.info delivers the facts on how to bring your SAP software up to speed, as well as what it will cost.
How to plan an upgrade to SAP ERP 6.0 (graphic: grasundsterne)
There are plenty of ways to keep your SAP software current: While updates involve smaller functional modifications to existing software releases, upgrades offer all-new versions typically marked by an increase in version number.
Instead of expensive release upgrades, SAP is focusing its efforts on Enhancement Packages (EHPs) for its current products. However, EHPs are not necessarily for every user: Those who use older software like SAP R/3 will have to upgrade to SAP ERP 6.0 in order to take advantage of them. Such upgrades often also entail a change of hardware components or operating systems.
Always up-to-date
The SAP ERP Solution Browser can help you find new versions of your SAP software. First, simply select the release you currently run. The tool will then display the updates and upgrades available for your version in various functional areas.
Costs involved in EHP consulting and installation
For a price of €6,300, the SAP Enhancement Package Planning Service can support your company in planning and installing EHPs. Using SAP Solution Manager, SAP partners check whether your SAP ERP system meets the corresponding requirements. The necessary components are then selected from the EHPs and implemented. SAP Enhancement Package Planning Implementation, which involves only the implementation of EHPs, comes with a €15,000 price tag.
