SAP Solution: KGS

It seems as if the increasing trend towards cloud computing spreads the misconception that data archiving has become obsolete. This fallacy is akin to climbing without a safety rope.

An order of magnitude of 2 terabytes of ERP data and 6 terabytes of PLM data had to be managed and archived - primarily SAP documents and product-related documents and files.

The topic of document archiving is redefined with S/4 Hana, because S/4 offers essential functions for managing unstructured content.

Today, no one can avoid digital transformation. SAP itself wants to make companies fit for the change by using the Hana platform. Analogously, however, a transition or change has also been taking place at another level for many years.

There are many reasons for archive migration: Mergers and realignment of companies or streamlining the IT landscape. Concentrating on necessary functions and replacing legacy solutions are among them. For SAP in particular, there are archive systems that provide only the functions necessary for SAP.

Many SAP user companies are currently following the trend of consolidating their IT landscapes with ERP as the central system. In doing so, they are also redesigning the archiving processes for SAP and non-SAP related documents. The following examples show the use of KGS solutions.

With the growing electronic document input, the tasks of scan/OCR solutions are changing. In input management, the volume of documents will increasingly shift from paper to digital media in the coming years. In the future, companies will completely replace their existing software and hardware equipment or will no longer use it in this form.
