ISG Report: The SAP Migration Dilemma — Why Early Decisions Define Outcomes

Most SAP migrations fail on paper long before they fail in production. Enterprises are migrating from legacy ERP under pressure from support deadlines. Most focus on stability and cost control over redesigning how they operate. These early choices carry forward complexity, shaping long-term value and cost, governance models and AI readiness

The latest research from ISG reveals how migration strategies impact risk, timelines and future transformation potential. It uncovers where programs go off track early — before execution even begins — and why nearly 60% of SAP migrations run over budget and behind schedule. It also reveals why many organizations defer transformation instead of delivering it. Use the findings to make smarter governance, sequencing and investment decisions before your migration locks in its constraints.
