SAP Identity Management (the SAP solution for Identity Governance & Administration) will expire from mainstream maintenance in 2027 – and can be extended once until 2030 via extended support. SAP does not offer an own successor product and instead refers to the strategic cooperation with Microsoft. The solution recommended by SAP is the Microsoft Entra Suite.
As SAP Identity Management (IdM) has no standard functionality, all implementations are built on a company-specific basis. This raises the individual question for each company: Can the Microsoft Entra Suite with Entra ID and Entra ID Governance be the successor to SAP IdM?
At the start of the Fit Check, you fill out a questionnaire, which we use to determine your status quo and the maturity level of your SAP Identity Management. The questionnaire forms the basis for the subsequent workshops and the elaboration according to the selected package.
