SAP BEx is on the verge of being discontinued – and what this means for your reporting

Many companies have been relying on the SAP BEx Analyzer, workbooks or broadcasterBut from October 2025 Support ends – permanently. 

What this means for you in concrete terms:

• None Updates, no security patches 
• Cost-saving measures or employee flexibility Guarantee of compatibility with new IT environment 
• With Windows 11 The BEx Analyzer is officially no longer stable – due to outdated Excel add-ins 
• New Microsoft 365 versions partially block functions that BEx absolutely relies on 

We see in projects: Many are waiting – until a Windows or Office update suddenly paralyzes everything. 
Then a planned migration becomes an emergency project. 

The better option: switch now

SAP itself recommends Analysis for Office (AfO) As a direct successor to Excel-based reporting – familiar in operation, modern in technology, fully compatible with Windows 11 and Microsoft 365. If you want more, you can also rely on: SAP Analytics Cloud (SAC) for self-service, planning & visualization.

This is how we do it in projects 

1. inventory – which BEx reports are critical, which are omitted 
2. Target image – AfO, SAC or hybrid solution 
3. Migration plan – smoothly, without any downtime in daily business 
4. Training & Enablement – so that users can start productively right away 

Conclusion

BEx has served us well for over 20 years – but the world keeps turning. 
Those who switch now avoid downtime, reduce dependence on old tools and create the basis for modern reporting and planning.
