SAP Identity Management reaches end of mainstream maintenance in December 2027, and every IGA vendor is offering a replacement. But most migration guidance misses a critical gap: organizations following SAP's recommended path to Microsoft Entra will still lack proper Active Directory lifecycle management. This leaves identities, entitlements, and compliance exposure unresolved when the clock runs out.
Nitish Deshpande, Senior Analyst at KuppingerCole Analysts, will examine the identity governance transformation that SAP IDM end of life demands, beyond just the platform replacement. He will assess the market landscape, outline what organizations most commonly overlook in migration planning, and discuss how behavioral-driven governance strengthens compliance and reduces entitlement risk across hybrid environments.
Robert Kraczek, Global Strategist at One Identity, will present a practical approach to SAP IDM migration using Identity Manager available on-premises or hosted via Identity Manager On Demand, alongside Active Roles for AD and Entra ID lifecycle management. He will explain why Entra alone does not close the AD governance gap, how Identity Manager's consistent governance model spans SAP and non-SAP systems regardless of deployment model, and what organizations should prioritize to reach the 2027 deadline without sacrificing governance continuity.
