Cutting Costs, Not Corners: The Financial Wisdom of SAP Document Archiving
In the digital era, every business transaction contributes to an ever-expanding trove of data. As a direct consequence, an organization's SAP database swells, placing a heavier burden on administrative operations. Routine procedures such as backups and recoveries begin to stretch out, consuming more time than ever before. Upgrading database systems turns into a resource-intensive endeavor, and user experiences deteriorate as response times lag. The instinctive reaction might be to invest in additional hardware, but this only escalates the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), especially in systems run on an SAP HANA® database, which necessitates a high-cost appliance upgrade.
However, there's a strategy to maintain control over these escalating costs: implement a robust data archiving process. Utilizing the standard SAP data archiving, supplemented with OpenText's Archiving and Document Access for SAP Solutions, provides a twofold benefit. Firstly, it curbs database expansion, directly enhancing system performance. The archived data isn't just stored securely—it remains readily accessible within the familiar SAP user interface, ensuring that it can be retrieved with ease and efficiency when needed.
What's more, OpenText's solution enables seamless access to archived information right alongside active online data within the relevant business context. This feature is critical because it allows users to interact with historical data without the need to restore or disrupt the live database. Comprehensive data extracts, reports, and print lists offer a consolidated view of the archived business information, empowering IT departments to take a proactive stance on data management. By doing so, organizations can ensure the enduring high performance of their SAP systems, all the while driving down the TCO.
The bottom line is clear: strategic data archiving isn't just an IT concern—it's a cost-saving imperative. With OpenText's Archiving and Document Access for SAP Solutions, businesses can turn the tide on rampant data growth, transforming their database management from a cost burden into a value driver
