SAP® Information Lifecycle Management (ILM)
Data has a lifecycle. We give it structure.
SAP ILM is the foundation for rule-based control of retention, access, blocking and destruction. We design, implement and optimise.
How long? Who may access it? And when may it be destroyed?
Some of your historical data is needed on a regular basis. Other data must continue to be retained because of legal or internal requirements. Still other data has reached the end of its retention period and can be destroyed.
SAP Information Lifecycle Management brings these requirements together and enables structured control of the entire data lifecycle – from retention through to destruction.
Cusorao supports you in the design, implementation and optimisation of SAP ILM solutions.
Seven building blocks, one lifecycle.
ILM strategy & design
Together with you, we develop an individual ILM strategy and consider data, business processes, retention requirements and your SAP system landscape as one overall system.
Retention management
Which data must be retained, and for how long? We define retention rules and map them transparently in SAP ILM.
Legal hold
Certain data must not be destroyed even though its retention period has expired. We design and implement suitable legal hold processes.
ILM & data archiving
Archiving moves data out of the database; ILM controls its further retention on a rule-based basis. We combine both into a holistic concept.
ILM & master data
Where does the master data come from, which system is the master, and which data may be blocked and destroyed? We consider master data and transactional data together.
ILM & destruction
Rule-based destruction processes that allow data to be destroyed in a controlled and traceable manner once defined retention periods have expired.
ILM in distributed systems
Manage, block and destroy data across multiple SAP and third-party systems in a legally compliant manner – without inconsistencies and without disrupting processes.
We review your data and show you which steps will have an impact first.
From analysis to day-to-day operation.
Analysis
We examine your existing SAP system landscape and identify the relevant data, processes and requirements.
Design
A suitable ILM concept – from retention rules to destruction and legal hold processes.
Implementation
Customising, technical settings, testing and productive roll-out.
Optimisation
After go-live, we support the further development of your ILM processes.
Questions we answer together with you in the project.
Effective Information Lifecycle Management brings together technology, processes and requirements. That is why we do not look at the technical implementation alone.
What does your system landscape look like?
Around 30 minutes via Teams – with no obligation. We listen, assess your situation and tell you openly whether and where we can help.
