Airbus is undertaking a major migration from legacy SAP ECC6 systems to S/4HANA before the 2030 extended support deadline, but the aerospace giant's digital executive believes most European CIOs won't complete their migrations in time. The company faces massive work ahead, having heavily customized its SAP installation with ABAP code. Airbus is using the migration to overhaul business processes and return to SAP standard configurations, while also targeting cloud-based S/4HANA deployment with sovereign cloud requirements for sensitive data. Gartner data shows 39% of SAP's 35,000 ECC customers hadn't migrated as of Q4 last year, nearly a decade after S/4HANA launched.
