SAP Hybris is losing support

Here are your real options.

Mainstream maintenance for SAP Commerce on-premise ends in weeks. After that date: no security patches, no compliance updates, no platform evolution. You have three paths. We help you choose the right one.

Three paths forward

Every organization on SAP Commerce on-premise faces the same choice. There are three possible solutions, but not every one is created equal. Here is what each path actually delivers, and what it costs you.

icon24

SAP Commerce Cloud (CCV2)

The default path

Managed infrastructure, SAP-handled patching. The same monolithic architecture you run today, hosted by SAP. Solves the immediate support gap but creates the next replatforming project in 5–7 years.

icon22

Extend maintenance

Bridge only

Buys time, nothing more. Customer-specific maintenance gives you access to existing fixes already released: no new patches, no compliance updates, no evolution. The real risk is organizational drift: urgency dissipates, the decision is deferred, and suddenly it is 2028.

Composable commerce with Emporix

Recommended

Skip the incremental step. Replace the entire approach, from a platform you build and maintain to an architecture you operate. End-to-end workflow orchestration, AI agents embedded natively, continuous SaaS delivery. No upgrade cycles. Ever.

  SAP Commerce Cloud (CCV2) Extend maintenance Composable commerce with Emporix
Migration timeline 12–18 months Immediate (no migration) 4–6 months to first channel
Architecture change None – same monolith None – frozen MACH-certified, orchestration-first
Upgrade cycles Every 6 months Unpatched post-July 2026 None – continuous SaaS
5-year TCO trend Increasing Increasing (declining value) Decreasing (43–49% proven)
Replatforming cycle Repeats in 5–7 years Deferred, not solved
Eliminated permanently
What you solve Immediate support gap Nothing (buys time only)

Case study

HABA FAMILYGROUP made this move. Here is what happened.

The manufacturer was running three sales channels on the platform: B2C, B2B, and resellers. But the monolithic backend had become too complex to adapt easily, and with end of life approaching, a straightforward migration to CCV2 was not the most future-looking option. Rather than move sideways, HABA FAMILYGROUP chose to leapfrog.

Instead of a high-risk big-bang migration, they replaced backend components step by step while keeping the existing storefront live. Using the Strangler Fig pattern, they were able to modernise the architecture without downtime, disruption, or a hard cutover. 

  • 4 months to first channel live
  • 2 weeks from proof of concept to functioning storefront
  • 43% total savings by Year 2
  • 74% savings on licensing and hosting
  • 49% total savings by Year 5
  • 0 business disruption during migration

We have never experienced such strong and cooperative support from a software vendor, and we were able to go live in 4 months.

Five questions that clarify your path

Answer these honestly. They will tell you more than any feature comparison.

1. Can you realistically complete a CCV2 migration before July 2026?
If not, extend short-term + leapfrog is your path.

 

2. What percentage of your commerce IT budget goes to maintenance vs. innovation?
If more than 60% is going to maintenance, leapfrog urgently.
 



3. How many people truly understand your SAP Commerce codebase?
If fewer than 5 – and some are at risk of leaving – act now.
 



4. How long from a feature request to production deployment?
If weeks or months, not days, your platform is the constraint.
 



5. Where does commerce sit in your five-year strategy?
If it should be a competitive differentiator, the composable path is the only one that gets you there.

You keep your SAP ERP

The Strangler Fig migration pattern: legacy and new systems run in parallel. Value from day one. API integration with SAP ECC/ERP is preserved throughout. Zero downtime.

Icon_Team
B2B by design

Customer-specific pricing, multi-level approvals, complex configuration, EDI integration, account hierarchies. B2B complexity is the default, not the edge case.

Mimacom-AI-Icon-32-v3
AI agents embedded natively

Dynamic B2B pricing, PDF purchase order processing, intelligent returns, proactive inventory. Agents are embedded within workflows, not bolted on as disconnected features.

TCO that actually decreases

No mandatory upgrade cycles. No regression testing every six months. No specialist talent dependency on a shrinking pool. The savings compound year on year.
