SAP® Data Archiving and Data Volume Management
Reduce data volumes. Relieve your SAP systems.
We analyse data volumes in a targeted way, develop suitable archiving strategies for data and documents, and move them securely out of your productive SAP systems.
Data grows continuously – often faster than processes and systems.
Historical data often remains in the productive system for years, even though it is no longer actively needed there. As data volumes increase, SAP systems become more complex, more cumbersome and more costly to operate.
A targeted archiving strategy can reduce these challenges sustainably – without losing important information.
How you can tell it is time.
- increasing demands on databases and storage
- longer run times for business processes and reports
- greater effort for system migrations and upgrades
- growing complexity in evolved SAP system landscapes
- rising operating and infrastructure costs
- greater effort for backup, restore and system copies
- more difficult decommissioning of legacy systems
In four steps from data mountain to routine operation.
Analyse
Which data is in the system? Which data is growing particularly fast? Which business processes and archiving objects are relevant? On this basis, we set priorities.
Develop a strategy
An individual archiving strategy that brings together technical requirements, business processes and retention requirements.
Archive
Technical implementation and support throughout the project phases – from design and preparation through testing to productive operation.
Optimise
Integrate archiving sustainably into SAP operations. We enable your team or take over regular archiving as a managed service.
Complex system landscapes and SAP S/4HANA
We look at SAP ERP and SAP S/4HANA, existing archiving landscapes, data and document archives, process dependencies, archiving objects and cycles, as well as requirements for access and retention.
One focus: compressing what is often the largest table in S/4HANA – ACDOCA (Universal Journal) – and the associated challenges in FI archiving.
Access to archived data
Seamless access is the foundation of successful archiving – only then do short archiving periods become possible.
We rely on the capabilities of the SAP standard and the archive add-ons from PBS Software GmbH, and together with you we look for the concept that allows archiving as early as possible while restricting your business processes as little as possible.
Well-planned archiving achieves more than free storage.
Efficiency
Less data in productive systems relieves processes and operations.
Transparency
Clear rules provide an overview of data and its lifecycle.
Sustainability
Continuous archiving prevents uncontrolled data growth.
Flexibility
A structured data landscape makes migrations and decommissioning easier.
