Accelerate Migration to SAP S/4HANA with Data Archiving

SAP S/4HANA offers a lean architecture, better user experience, and access to modern technologies like artificial Intelligence, the Internet of things, and advanced analytics. Additionally, with SAP announcing the end of support for ECC 6 by 2027, existing SAP customers must plan to migrate to SAP S/4HANA. However, this transition can be costly, especially for IT teams that must contend with large amounts of data accumulated over the years, including from acquired and divested business units. Additionally, the costs associated with HANA storage and SAP licensing can quickly become prohibitive if left unmanaged.

SOLIXCloud Archiving can help optimize SAP S/4HANA migration by offloading historical data from primary SAP systems and decommissioning entire legacy SAP instances, thereby reducing the data footprint for migration. The reduced data volumes will make migrations faster and more efficient while also reducing the TCO of the new SAP S/4HANA. All this with retaining continued access to the archived data for audit, compliance, and business reporting.

Benefits of Archiving before Migration to SAP S/4HANA

Efficient Migration to SAP S/4 HANA

Efficient Migration to SAP S/4HANA

Migration to SAP S/4HANA is a complex process, especially when consolidating and migrating data from various active and inactive SAP systems. With a reduced SAP data footprint post-archiving, much of that complexity is eliminated or significantly reduced. Also, with only a smaller volume of data to migrate and validate, the entire migration process can be faster, cheaper and more efficient.

Lower the TCO of SAP S/4 HANA

Lower the TCO of SAP S/4HANA

Archiving infrequently accessed data prior to migration rather than migrating it to expensive HANA database can lead to substantial costs saving. Additionally, implementing a post migration ILM strategy with SOLIXCloud active archiving can continue to help manage data growth in SAP S/4HANA leading to ongoing cost savings in the form of reduced storage and licensing costs, reduced complexity, and lower costs for maintenance and backups.

    Through advanced Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) organizations handle the complex regulatory landscape and minimizes risks of accidental data deletion from the archive.

    • Retain data only as long as required by law
    • Automatic or manual purge with prior notification
    • Custom rules engine
    • Standard retention plans including Fair Labor Standards Act, Bank Secrecy Act, Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
  • eDiscovery & Legal Hold

    Compliance and legal professionals can quickly identify and retrieve records to meet data requests from regulatory agencies and law enforcement. Further, they can place legal holds on records of interest to ensure such data is retained beyond the pre-defined data retention periods to comply with legal proceedings.

    • Supports multiple cases
    • Robust text search
    • Structured and Adhoc reporting
  • Print Report Archiving

    The Solix Virtual Printer feature enables users to print important legacy application reports and have them ingested into SOLIXCloud Enterprise Archiving. These reports are denormalized, indexed and tagged for easy text search and retrieval by end-users.

  • Solix Search provides comprehensive text search, structured reports and adhoc queries

    Text search provides simplified user access to enterprise business records (EBR) which are denormalized views of a specific business function such as invoicing. EBR's organize data into templates (i.e. invoices, customer data, spreadsheets, and other documents) for easy self-service access to complex business processes.

  • Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) is a best practice for managing data throughout its lifecycle

    ILM solutions are intended to improve the performance of enterprise applications, reduce infrastructure costs and provide governance, risk and compliance frameworks for enterprise data. With ILM, organizations are able to optimize their infrastructure with a tiered enterprise data management strategy, and establish a control framework for proper data governance and compliance.

    Industry analysts point out that up to 80% of data is not current, and the value of data declines dramatically over time. ILM classifies data at creation and moves data across infrastructure tiers based on business rules and retention policies. ILM ensures that only current, active data is consuming valuable tier one compute and storage resources, and that all data is governed by compliance policy throughout its lifecycle.
