It has been four years since I published my original five-part series on SAP Carve-Outs. Time for a look back on what has changed since then with new trends for SAP Carve-Outs and Divestiture Projects in business and technology.
The past four years have brought notable shifts in both business dynamics and technology landscapes, reshaping how carve-out projects must be planned, managed, and executed. In many cases, these changes have introduced greater complexity, requiring organizations to adapt their strategies to ensure success.
From our recent project experience and industry observations, two main drivers stand out:
More complex M&A scenarios – including multi-entity, multi-source, and joint-venture carve-outs, often with heightened compliance and harmonization requirements.Technology disruption – particularly the accelerated move to the cloud and the looming SAP ECC end-of-maintenance deadlines (2027, or 2030 with costly extended maintenance under SAP RISE).
In this update, I will explore these emerging trends from two perspectives:
Business & M&A Scenario-Driven Trends (Part I)Technology-Driven Trends (Part II)
Both parts of this post build on the foundation of the original series, now enriched with current project examples and the latest industry best practices – offering a forward-looking view of what it takes to execute a successful carve-out in 2025 and beyond.
