We use Solution Manager and need to transition to Cloud ALM
The end of support for Solution Manager is here. Though extended support is available, SAP’s future direction is Cloud ALM. The path to Cloud ALM isn’t simple, especially for firms with transformation plans including hybrid architectures, Private Cloud ERP or intermediate steps before a fully Public Cloud ERP solution.
Understand the impact on SAP operations from end of support for Solution Manager, and options available to the transitioning enterprise.
We use Landscape Manager and must transition immediately
While Solution Manager and Focused Run users can exercise extended support for a longer transition period, SAP has announced a firm end of support for Landscape Manager in 2027.
Many customers use the automation capabilities of Lama for orchestrating landscape provisioning, system start/stop, refresh automation and backups.
We use Focused Run and monitor a complex SAP estate
Complex enterprises and managed service providers face motoring and operations challenges at a scale unique to these organizations. Focused Run was specifically designed for very large scale, multi-tenant operations.
While Cloud ALM has a Focused Run integration, it is intended and designed for the Cloud-centric customer, not the massive SAP enterprise with a complex mix of legacy on-premise, hybrid and cloud ERP concurrently.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Avantra replace SAP Landscape Management (LaMa)?
Functionally, Avantra is a superset of capabilities beyond the SAP Landscape Management solution. Avantra is designed to provide common landscape management functions including backup orchestration, start-and-stop, patches and upgrades orchestration and more, just like LaMa. Then, Avantra extends this basic functionality to full System Copy/Refresh automation, sophisticated provisioning capabilities, certificate maintenance automation and more. Avantra is designed to support SAP anywhere it runs, providing a single pane-of-glass across legacy on premise systems, hyperscaler deployments and Cloud ERP Private.
LaMa is designed specifically for on-premise ECC and S/4HANA deployments. LaMa is at end of life, officially discontinued with no options for extended support at the end of 2027. No successor or replacement product for LaMa is planned by SAP.
How does Avantra differ from SAP Solution Manager?
While not technically the same as LaMa, Solution Manager and LaMa are frequently paired when supporting on premises SAP deployments. Avantra extends the capabilities of Solution Manager, providing automation and AIOps anywhere SAP runs, with a single point-of-control for all SAP landscapes across on-prem, hyperscaler and Cloud ERP. Additionally, Avantra integrates with Cloud ALM, extending scalable management for the most complex SAP estates during transformation and transition projects.
Solution Manager is designed specifically for on-premise ECC and S/4HANA deployments. Solution Manager is at end of life, with continuing support beyond 2027 but without further innovation as SAP transitions to Cloud ALM.
