We clean, archive and slim down your SAP systems – ILM-compliant and across protocols from ArchiveLink to CMIS. Cut license, cloud and hardware costs without taking any risk.
Before we can reduce your costs we need to analyze your SAP systems to determine the data that is not required anymore. Our tools support us to identify the relevant Business Objects. Afterwards we cleanse the data with the result of a lean(er) data base.
Before we can reduce the costs we need to analyze your SAP systems and the data which is not required anymore. Our tools are supporting us to identify the relevant Business Objects. Afterwards we cleanse the data to get a lean data base.
We analyze the objects in your SAP system to get an overview which data will be required in the future and which data is not used anymore. The outcome is a list of objects which cannot be archived with transaction code SARA due to issues with customizing, status or missing components. Solving all of these issues is very time consuming and instead of checking record by record we can provide you with a toolset to speed up an simplify this process.
We support your data archiving and at the same time reduce the data volume. Often archiving is not possible due to unreleased status or changed customizing. With our workbench you will get an overview of all the reasons which prohibit archiving with SAP standard tools. We also provide a list that enables us to find solutions to fix most of these issues. A lot of templates are available for different business objects e.g. Sales Orders, Plant Maintenance Orders and others.
Less License Costs dependent on the license model of your HANA with our help to reduce the size of your database.
‘Don’t migrate unnecessary or bad data into a new system.’ We help to cleanse the data in your existing SAP System landscape as an ongoing service or before a (data) migration project. We are also offering the help of our Data Migration Expert team.
To reduce the data table sizes our migration tools move attachments and other objects into your backend archive (content repository). If you are looking for an easy, scalable and cheap storage we recommend our Azure Blob Connector for archiving.
More Flexibility, less data will reduce RAM requirements - If the HANA database size has been shrinked, system backups will be performed quicker and the flexibility for maintanenace will increase.
If your license model is volume based you can lower the license costs with our help to reduce the size of your data base.
We analyze your archiving jobs with SARA and our own tools to get your data archived and to reduce the size of your table spaces. We can also provide enough cloud spaces in Azure which can be used to move the data with our Blob Connector for ArchiveLink.
If you plan to run your SAP HANA S/4 system in the cloud, the costs are (almost) dependent on RAM, Disk Space and so on. If your SAP HANA Database size becomes leaner your hardware requirements will decrease and you will save costs.
Define the scope and the services we should provide dependent on your strategic goals and technical requirements. No matter if you want to reduce costs, prepare a greenfield or brownfield project or if you want to keep the data volume of your system under control, we know how to get the job done.
We can remove your unnecessary, bad or unused data. It makes sense to reduce the data volume before migrating, harmonizing, splitting or caving-out the SAP system landscape since this also minimizes the effort to analyze issues, missing or inconsistent customizing and makes the definition of selection criteria easier.
Transactional data which is not required anymore can often be archived or removed from the system. Dependent on the legal requirements we help you to reduce the transactional data. Because of status issues, changed customizing and so on archiving is often not possible, We can help you to eliminate these issues and will get your data archived.
Master Data which is not required anymore can consume a lot of resources and can slow down your systems performance as well. We help you to identify all data which can be removed from your system.
We also archive your attachments which are usually stored in database tables and move them to a cheaper storage with different tier levels (Hot, Cool, Archive).
You can use our tools as ‘Software as a Service’ during the project and scheduled timeline, so that you do not have to pay whole solutions or toolsets. This also saves money and the effort will amortize quickly.
We provide required documentation for legal purposes or auditing, so that you have a detailed overview where your data is store and why.
Less data. Lower costs. Less effort. We archive in an ILM-compliant way, slim down your database and move expensive binary and document data out of the system – across protocols from ArchiveLink to CMIS. You cut license, storage and maintenance costs while staying fully audit-proof.
We archive your transactional data in an ILM-compliant way – including retention periods, retention rules and legal holds. Tables are relieved without violating legal record-keeping duties. SARA, DART and Spool included.
A smaller database lowers license, hardware and cloud costs, speeds up backups and simplifies maintenance. We identify the volume drivers and reduce them in a targeted, sustainable and repeatable way.
With our CaRD Connector we move documents and binary data out of your database tables into a low-cost backend – GOS, business documents, attachments, print lists, SAP PLM, document info records and SAP DMS.
Paying for an expensive archive – for example in the context of SAP HDM (Harmonized Document Management)? We migrate your content into a cost-efficient backend such as Azure Storage or SharePoint and significantly reduce your ongoing archive costs.
On request we detect possible duplicates and inconsistencies using AI directly within your transactional data – an additional quality stage before migration, archiving or clean-up.
From ArchiveLink via HTTP Content Server to CMIS – we speak every relevant protocol. And we do so on SAP ECC, S/4HANA on-premise, S/4HANA RISE as well as S/4HANA Public & Private Cloud.
Want to retire legacy systems? We decommission complete SAP systems – audit-proof and without losing data: your previously archived or cleansed data stays available in the low-cost backend or archive at any time, while the expensive legacy system is switched off. And if you want to delete data long-term and compliantly once retention periods expire, we support that too – controlled and traceable.
Protocols & content we cover
Supported SAP systems
We analyze the potentials based on our services. We analyze your system in detail to get accurate information about unused or bad data which can be archived, deleted or cleaned up.
This helps to make decisions about which part of your SAP data can be optimized in order to reduce license fees and ongoing costs. Especially if your license model is volume based or your cloud requirements e.g. SAP, AWS, Google or Azure are working based on consumption-oriented billing solutions.
In addition the consultants of our migration team will work together with you to find a solutions leading to the targets you want to achieve, whether you set the focus on saving ongoing license fees, reduce data migration costs or work towards a better managed system, especially for maintenance or upgrade purposes.
