Why SAP IT Teams Trust KYG Trade

As SAP plans to discontinue support for legacy GTS 11.x by end of 2025, many organizations face the difficult task of migrating to SAP GTS Enterprise For Hana (E4H).

This migration process is complicated, time-consuming, and costly.

KYG Trade provides a lighter, more efficient solution for your global trade and tariff management needs.
