SAP IdM’s end-of-maintenance ​

SAP's announcement that SAP Identity Management (IdM) 8.0 will reach end-of-maintenance in 2030 has created unexpected urgency for organizations using the solution worldwide. Unlike typical product transitions, SAP IdM environments are deeply embedded in the SAP landscape and often comprise a number of custom connectors, hundreds of processes, and complex integrations with SAP GRC Access Control and other non-SAP systems.

IdM migration ​

The migration from SAP IdM involves navigating complex legacy system architectures made up of interconnected components, each requiring careful analysis. A successful transition requires thorough audits to identify which elements can be migrated smoothly and which will require new configurations. This process demands tooling capable of delivering deep insights into the current IT landscape to support informed, strategic decisions.

A key task in migration preparation is evaluating current identity infrastructures and processes. This involves detailed assessments of asset usage and the broader implications for governance, risk, and compliance. Leveraging advanced analytical tools is necessary to ensure a smooth transition that covers all components of identity management systems.

To minimize disruption, thorough planning and execution are required from initial audits through implementation of the new solution(s). Real-time data and automation provide valuable insights into asset utilization and facilitate efficient resource allocation during the migration.

Target architectures vary. Some organizations will adopt Microsoft Entra as the leading IAM, while others will choose a dedicated IGA platform. In all cases, the migration approach should be modular: discover and estimate, introduce a sidecar for new provisioning, migrate connectors stepwise, maintain or extend risk analysis, and decommission SAP IdM only when business processes, attestations, and audit trails are retained.
