Why archiving is the critical success factor for S/4HANA migration
The clock is ticking: for ERP managers and DMS experts, the pressure to migrate to SAP S/4HANA is no longer a theoretical option, but a daily operational reality. Yet, when planning these transformation projects, one crucial factor is often criminally neglected: the volume of historical data and documents.
Anyone who, true to the mottoAll-in, attempts to lift database structures that have evolved over decades one-to-one into the new S/4HANA world puts the entire migration project at risk. Archiving is not an IT project to be deferred to quieter times—it is the foundation and the critical success factor for a seamless S/4HANA migration.
