Starting point

An energy group which was planning to transition to SAP S/4HANA intended to carry out – as its first step, in advance of the migration itself – the reliable archiving of its data, in order to reduce the maintenance workload for the DMS system, whilst at the same time enabling PDF documents to be supplemented with graphics and annotations.  

Challenge

It was a specific requirement, as far as the Accounts department was concerned, that the adding of annotations and graphic elements into PDFs should be as straightforward as possible.  

Solution

Thanks to introducing kgs’s tia® H5 Viewer, PDF documents can be supplemented with components and annotations – defined as desired – before their archiving. The results have made life easier for the 1,700 employees regularly working with SAP within STEAG Deutschland.

Outcome

Whereas in the past it was consistently a tricky business to supplement PDF documents with annotations and graphic components, with H5 Viewer it has become child’s play. No complications are experienced when it comes to archiving the correspondingly enriched documents. And they are already in the appropriate format for any subsequent migrations towards SAP S/4HANA.
