The BASIS Admin Extinction Is Happening. Don't Get Left Behind.
SAP ECC mainstream maintenance ends 2027. Extended maintenance runs to 2030. After that, you're on your own. Every major SAP innovation, every AI feature, every new release — all cloud. The SAP Basis admins role as it exists today is in decline. This video shows you exactly how it's happening, and what to do about it.
I've spent 25 years leading SAP transformations. Over 100 organizations. $700M+ in projects. In the last 18 months, I've watched Basis contracts shrink 40–60%. Not because systems went away. Because the work did.
RISE with SAP hands infrastructure to SAP. BTP absorbs your extensions. Cloud ALM replaces Solution Manager. What's left is a fraction of what you used to do.
The good news is that your skills transfer better than anyone else's in the SAP ecosystem. AWS, Azure, GCP, DevOps, Cloud Security. The exit ramps are real. But the window is closing.
