SAP ECC Archiving by Thorben

Thorben effectively archives Client SAP ECC data that was not converted into SAP S/4HANA using a proven approach so that the data can be made available on a read only basis prior to the 2027/2030 end of support for SAP ECC. Thorben offers a foundational archiving strategy not just for existing SAP ECC data but also for future SAP S/4HANA data with an eye towards reducing ongoing storage costs while maintaining data accessibility and usability. Thorben proposes a cost effective storage strategy that will allow Clients to use AWS Glacier storage for pennies on the dollar compared to standard storage options.

Thorben works with Clients’ functional end users to determine what archived data is essential, how long the data needs to be available and how the archived data will be used and presented in a valuable manner. As Clients establish retention rules and time periods, our proposed solution supports the retirement of archived data and provides the capability for SAP S/4HANA data to be archived and eventually retired in accordance with the Client retention rules and time periods.

Thorben’s Methodology for Modernizing Systems and Transforming Enterprises follows the SAP Activate processes based on best practices, proven methodology, content and tools that help customers and partners manage modernized systems with improved enterprise processes. The 6 phases of Modernization under SAP Activate are Discover, Prepare, Explore, Realize, Deploy and Run.

Data management can be improved through security classification, monitoring, reporting, logging, decoupling, accessibility with archiving and advanced encryption, tagging, integrity checking, authentication, transparency tools and data lake capabilities. Data availability opens up outstanding opportunities for generating stakeholder value including resilience and transparency.
