SAP LaMa Support Ends in 2027: Why SAP Basis Teams Should Evaluate Alternatives Now

With SAP support for SAP Landscape Management (LaMa) ending in 2027, many SAP Basis teams are now facing an important strategic decision: what comes next?

Some organizations have already started evaluating alternatives, while others are only beginning to assess the impact of moving away from SAP LaMa. Either way, now is the right time to take a closer look at the available options - and the EPOS App Set from Empirius stands out as a strong and flexible replacement platform.

One thing has become clear: SAP will not provide a direct successor to SAP LaMa.

This was a major topic at the yearly Event for German Speaking SAP Users (DSAG Technologietage 2026) in March, where several sessions focused on LaMa migration strategies and replacement scenarios. A key takeaway from those discussions was that SAP customers use LaMa very differently depending on the size, complexity, and operational maturity of their SAP landscapes.

As a result, there is no “one-size-fits-all” replacement for SAP LaMa.

Instead, SAP Basis teams need to evaluate which LaMa capabilities are actually relevant in their own environments - and identify the combination of tools and automation platforms that delivers the greatest operational value.

Across discussions and industry presentations, a common baseline of required LaMa replacement functionality has emerged. The modular EPOS App Set covers these requirements comprehensively.

With more than 25 available apps, EPOS provides a flexible automation platform for a wide range of SAP Basis operations. Think of it as a modular toolbox where teams can deploy exactly the capabilities they need.

Core areas include:

A centralized reporting solution that gives SAP administrators a clear, real-time overview of SAP systems, components, and landscape status across the environment.

 A widely adopted solution for fully automated SAP system copies. BlueCopy has been used by large enterprise customers and SAP service providers for more than 20 years - including organizations currently running SAP LaMa.

These apps automate critical maintenance and operational tasks, including:

Empirius has also invested early in making key EPOS applications compatible with RISE with SAP environments.
