Selling to SAP customers
SAP runs finance, supply chain and operations for many of the world's largest companies. The move from SAP ECC to S/4HANA is driving one of the biggest enterprise software projects of the decade.
Written by the Data InfoMetrix research team · Updated October 2026
Who runs SAP
SAP customers are concentrated in manufacturing, consumer goods, chemicals, energy, automotive, retail, public sector and life sciences. Products include ERP (ECC and S/4HANA), SuccessFactors for HR, Ariba for procurement, Concur for travel and expense, and Business One for smaller companies.
Mainstream maintenance for SAP ECC 6.0 ends at the end of 2027, with extended maintenance available to 2030, so most ECC customers are planning or running a move to S/4HANA, often through RISE with SAP.
Who to contact
The CIO and CFO own ERP decisions, with the COO involved for supply chain. SAP programme directors, SAP Center of Excellence leads, Basis managers and enterprise architects run projects and choose tools and partners.
When SAP accounts are ready to buy
S/4HANA migrations, RISE with SAP contracts, data migration and archiving projects, cloud hosting changes and testing automation are the main triggers. Hiring for SAP programme roles is a strong public signal.
How to segment and approach
Segment by ECC versus S/4HANA, by deployment (on-premises, private cloud, RISE) and by modules. Industry matters because SAP processes differ widely between, for example, process manufacturing and retail.
Speak to risk, timeline and cost of the migration, and show SAP certification or partnership where you have it.

SAP list questions, answered
How many companies use SAP?
Data InfoMetrix tracks 126,379 companies using SAP, with 901,607 verified contacts at those accounts as of October 2026. The largest groups are Global Industrial Manufacturing, Automotive Tier-1 Suppliers and Chemicals & Energy Conglomerates. Counts are estimates from our database and market research, so ask us for a live count for your exact criteria.
Who buys and manages SAP inside a company?
SAP is usually owned by Global ERP CoE, Enterprise IT Architecture & Corporate Controllership. Decision-makers include Chief Information Officer (CIO), Global Head of ERP / CoE and Chief Financial Officer (CFO); Lead SAP Enterprise Architect and Global ERP Program Director shape the choice, and Senior Financial Analysts and Plant Accounting Managers use it day to day. Our SAP list can include any of these roles.
Which SAP products or editions can I target?
You can target accounts by the SAP products they run, including SAP S/4HANA Cloud (Private & Public Editions / RISE with SAP), SAP ECC 6.0 (Enterprise Core Component On-Premises Footprints), SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP & Integration Suite), SAP Financial Accounting & Controlling (FI/CO) + Group Reporting and SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) & Extended Warehouse (EWM). Tell us which edition or module matters and we filter the list to those accounts.
What does SAP integrate with?
SAP is most often connected to Salesforce, Workday, Celonis, SAP BTP and ServiceNow, so users of those tools overlap heavily with SAP accounts. We can filter any list by this kind of stack overlap.
What are the main alternatives to SAP?
The main alternatives to SAP are Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP, Workday Financial Management and Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O. We also keep verified user lists for Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP, Workday Financial Management and Microsoft Dynamics 365 F&O, which is useful for competitive displacement campaigns.
What challenges do SAP customers face?
Common challenges for SAP accounts include The S/4HANA Migration Deadline (Legacy ECC vs. Cloud RISE), Multi-Billion Operational Complexity & Custom ABAP Debt and The Strict CFO vs. CIO Procurement Buying Committee. Enterprises running ECC 6.0 face immense pressure to re-platform to S/4HANA before end-of-support deadlines, requiring millions in systems integration, custom ABAP code remediation, and process mining. These are good angles for outreach to SAP users.
What does an SAP customers list cover when SAP is a whole product estate?
It covers the entire SAP landscape, not a single tag. We assemble records around the people who actually run the estate — the SAP Basis Lead who keeps the system up, the S/4HANA Program Manager driving the migration, and the CIO who owns the roadmap. Each record carries the SAP release in use, the modules deployed, and where the account sits on the ECC-to-S/4HANA timeline, so you reach the right owner inside a multi-system estate rather than a generic "uses SAP" name.
How big is the global SAP install base today?
SAP runs the back office of roughly 126,379 organizations across 180+ countries, and most large enterprises still operate classic ECC alongside newer S/4HANA and cloud modules. We map 901,607+ verified contacts inside that estate and build your slice to the exact release, module, and migration stage you sell into.
How do you separate ECC accounts from S/4HANA accounts?
They are different buyers with different urgency, so we flag them separately. An ECC account facing the 2027 maintenance deadline is weighing a migration decision; an S/4HANA account has already moved and is optimizing. We tag each record by release line and migration posture so your outreach lands with the right message at the right moment.
Can you scope a list to the ECC accounts that have not yet migrated to S/4HANA?
Yes — this is the single highest-intent SAP segment right now. With mainstream ECC maintenance ending in 2027, the unmigrated install base is on the clock. We build lists of accounts by migration stage: not yet scoped, evaluating, partner-engaged, mid-program, or recently live. The unmigrated and evaluating cohorts are where the migration-window pipeline sits.
Who controls SAP spend — the technical team or the executives?
Both, and we map the full chain. The SAP Basis Lead and Enterprise Architect are the technical gatekeepers who vet any tool touching the system. The functional owners — VP Supply Chain, finance directors, the IT Director — drive module decisions. The CIO and CFO sign the migration budget. We give you the operator who champions you and the executive who approves the cheque.
Can I filter the estate down to a single module like supply chain or finance?
Yes. The SAP estate is modular, and a supply-chain owner is a different buyer from a finance controller or an HCM lead. We scope lists to the module footprint that matters — materials management, production planning, financial accounting, procurement, or HCM — paired with the functional decision-maker who owns that module.
Which industries operate the heaviest SAP estates?
Discrete and process manufacturing run the largest and most complex SAP estates, followed by financial services, retail and consumer goods, utilities, and the public sector. We build vertical-scoped lists with the right estate owner for each — a plant-level supply-chain lead in manufacturing reads very differently from a finance controller in banking.
How is the data on each SAP account kept current?
SAP estates and the people who run them change constantly — migrations move stages, Basis leads rotate, programs reorganize. We do not ship a frozen file. Every record is human-verified, then refreshed on a fixed cycle and re-checked against the current estate, so a migration stage or an owner that has moved is corrected before delivery, not left to rot.
How is this different from buying an off-the-shelf SAP database?
A pre-built database is one frozen export of whoever happened to be captured. We do the opposite: you describe the ICP — release line, module, migration stage, industry, geography, and seniority — and we assemble a list to that spec, verified by people and cycled for freshness. You get the precise migration-window slice you asked for, not a catalog everyone else already bought.
Can I get a free sample built to my exact SAP ICP?
Yes. Tell us the release line (ECC or S/4HANA), the module footprint, the migration stage, the industry, and the role you want — SAP Basis Lead, IT Director, S/4HANA Program Manager, VP Supply Chain, or CIO — and we will assemble a free sample to spec. No credit card, no commitment.
