Why Migrate from SAP IDM to midPoint Before 2027

SAP Identity Management reaches end of maintenance in December 2027. If your organization relies on SAP IDM, the clock is ticking.

For years, SAP IDM has been a reliable workhorse for enterprise identity governance. But with SAP officially ending maintenance, organizations face a critical decision: migrate to a new platform or risk running unsupported identity infrastructure.

Why midPoint?

Evolveum midPoint is an open-source Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) platform that covers everything SAP IDM does, and more. No per-user licensing fees, no vendor lock-in, and a thriving community backed by professional support from Evolveum.

What makes the migration feasible

• midPoint’s ConnId connector framework supports the same target systems SAP IDM connects to: Active Directory, LDAP, databases, REST APIs, SOAP services, CSV feeds, and SAP systems themselves
• Role-based access control, access certification, and segregation of duties are built into midPoint’s core
• midPoint runs on Kubernetes with GitOps-based configuration management, making it cloud-native from day one
• The migration can be phased: run both systems in parallel during transition, with zero downtime cutover

The cost of waiting

Every month closer to the 2027 deadline narrows your options. Rushed migrations lead to gaps in compliance, broken provisioning flows, and security exposure. Starting now gives you time to properly map connectors, test role models, and train your team.
