Data and Documents Archiving for SAP®
Reduce your IT system’s TCO while enhancing productivity and compliance with Data and Document Archiving for SAP®
Is your business faced with the ongoing challenge of managing a growing and increasingly expensive SAP® database? With every completed transaction, the volume of data to be securely stored expands. This has several consequences for the total cost of ownership (TCO) of enterprise IT systems. As the database grows, it demands more administrative effort to ensure its upkeep. Upgrades involve significant downtime, while back-ups and restorations take increasingly long periods of time.
There can also be negative impacts for system performance, preventing users from working efficiently and causing delays to activities such as order and invoice processing. Responding to and operating under global regulatory pressures also becomes increasingly difficult.
TerraLink’s data and documents archiving solution, which is based on the SAP® Archiving and Document Access application by OpenText™, provides an elegant, efficient and seamless way to manage and maintain your ever-growing volume of enterprise content.
Customer Value Mapping for Document Access and Archiving Solutions
There are compelling reasons this is a top-selling archiving solution. It minimizes database growth, improves performance, and provides convenient access to all archived data directly through the SAP® interface, with user-friendly folder views ensuring continuous and straightforward access to both SAP® and non-SAP® business documents. It can run with either SAP S/4HANA® or SAP® Business Suite software and provides online or offline views of archived data across applications and processes.
What are the common challenges of data and document archiving?
Today, businesses around the world face escalating content handling costs due to 90 percent of all business content being unstructured. This results in high operating and cost-per-transaction costs, and negatively impacts an organization’s profitability on an ongoing basis.
At the same time, IT departments are under constant pressure to do more with less. They are challenged to drive down the organization’s TCO while simultaneously maintaining access to data stored in costly legacy systems and minimizing the business’s future storage and infrastructure costs.
