The Urgent Need for Archiving in Your SAP Migration

With SAP ending mainstream ECC support in 2027, organizations are facing a forced migration to S/4HANA. However, most businesses only plan to bring one year’s worth of data into the new system. This raises a critical question: What happens to your legacy ECC data?

Traditionally, the only way to retain and access historical ECC data was within the SAP ecosystem, driving up costs and complexity. Archive360 changes this by enabling organizations to extract, normalize, and securely archive their legacy SAP data—making it searchable from SAP, combined, or non-SAP systems.

DATA MIGRATION

Ingest, Validate, and Manage Any Type
of Data from ERP Applications

Archive360 FastCollect migrates your legacy application data quickly and cost-effectively. It connects to, ingests, validates, and manages any type of data from most business applications, such as ERP, CRM, and relational/non-relational databases.

How You Benefit from a Strategic ERP Archiving Approach

By proactively archiving and securing ERP data, organizations mitigate risk and lay the foundation for a more agile, data-driven future. Archive360’s Modern ERP Archiving solution helps organizations seamlessly navigate this shift by enabling secure data consolidation, optimized storage, and complete control over historical ERP records—all while ensuring compliance, cost efficiency, and long-term accessibility in the cloud.

Legacy System Decommissioning

As businesses transition to SAP S/4HANA, they must retire ECC while ensuring ongoing access to historical financial, operational, and compliance data. Archive360 provides a structured, searchable archive so organizations can fully decommission ECC without data loss.

Skyrocketing SAP HANA Storage Costs

SAP HANA’s in-memory storage model pricing is based on system size and usage. Migrating all historical data into HANA significantly raises costs. Archive360 helps businesses reduce their SAP footprint by offloading cold data to a secure, low-cost archive—while keeping it easily retrievable.

Data Compliance & Regulatory Mandates

Organizations must retain SAP data for audits, legal requirements, and regulatory compliance (e.g., GDPR, SOX, HIPAA). Archive360 ensures structured retention and defensible deletion policies, keeping your business compliant without incurring unnecessary costs.

Complex & Risky Migrations

Moving unoptimized datasets to SAP S/4HANA extends migration timelines, increases costs, and risks system slowdowns. Archive360’s intelligent archiving enables simplifying your SAP migration to the cloud by separating active data from archived records.
