SAP BTP Neo Sunset: Preparing for 2028

SAP has officially announced that the Business Technology Platform (BTP) Neo environment will no longer be available as of December 31, 2028. If your organization is currently using SAP Cloud Integration (CPI) within the Neo environment, this announcement has immediate implications. The Neo “sunset” means that the environment will be permanently shut down, meaning that all CPI integrations and applications running on it will no longer be accessible after this date. By taking steps now, you will ensure that your integrations continue to work without interruption.

We understand that this announcement raises questions, so we have compiled the most important information to get you started.

What exactly does “Sunset” mean?

In this context, SAP BTP Neo Sunset means the complete shutdown of the Neo environment – not just the end of support. After this date, continuing without migration is no longer an option, as your services and integrations become inaccessible, resulting in potentially serious disruptions to your business processes.

Why is SAP discontinuing the Neo environment?

SAP is strategically adopting a modern multi-cloud environment, built primarily on platforms such as Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform. This transition is driven by the need for greater flexibility, scalability and improved reliability. In addition, it offers organizations the freedom to choose their own cloud provider.

Key benefits of the multi-cloud strategy include:

Easier scaling and better performance.
More flexibility for linkages to other cloud solutions.
A reliable platform that is future proof.

What does this mean for your SAP Integration Suite (CPI)?

If your organization is currently using SAP Cloud Integration (CPI) in the Neo environment, you will need to migrate your integrations to SAP’s Cloud Foundry environment. This migration will ensure that you can continue to take advantage of SAP support, receive regular updates, and-more importantly-will keep your integrations between SAP SuccessFactors and other systems running smoothly.

What does the migration process look like?

Unsure where to start, or want to know what to expect? Here you’ll find a clear roadmap to guide you through the migration process:

Map your current Neo environment: Inventory all existing integrations, security material and different environments so that no business process is overlooked.
Set up the new Cloud Foundry environment: Create new CPI tenants, assign appropriate users, and configure connectivity-including any cloud connectors.
Migrate your integrations: Export your current integration flows as packages and import them into Cloud Foundry. Then modify the sender and receiver systems so that they point to your new CPI environment.
Test extensively: Validate that all integrations are working correctly to make sure that everything works smoothly after migration.
Switch over and go live smoothly: Convert your production integrations and continue to monitor during the transition phase so that any issues can be addressed immediately.

When should you start migrating?

The best time to prepare for your migration is now. Delay increases the likelihood of disruptions and can lead to hasty decisions. Because the migration process is likely to affect multiple departments-such as Operations, IT, HR and Support-it is important to allow sufficient time for proper preparation, coordination and a smooth transition.
