SAP archiving:
cost-effective & independent

Many companies use a DMS/ECM system for SAP archiving, which is usually oversized for pure storage. Unnecessary functions cause license costs, tie up resources and increase maintenance costs. With the kgs tia® archive, you can concentrate on the core task — filing directly in SAP. Additional systems become superfluous, costs are reduced and administration is significantly easier.

When it comes to SAP archiving, companies encounter large volumes of documents and data and topics such as cloud archiving, migration or interfaces such as ArchiveLink® and CMIS. It's easy with the right archive: The tia® Content Server is lean, powerful and meets all requirements — from legally compliant archiving and print lists to support ArchiveLink®, CMIS and ILM. Of course, also in conjunction with SAP S/4HANA.

The transformation to S/4HANA can only be achieved with a clean database. If you clean up your inventory in advance, you reduce complexity and make the transition significantly easier. Many companies still rely on DMS/ECM systems, which are expensive and complex. With the kgs tia® archive, archiving is integrated directly into SAP, additional systems are omitted and a stable basis for S/4HANA is created.

A migration always involves risks of errors or data loss. With tia® Migration, kgs offers a solution developed specifically for SAP that seamlessly monitors and documents the process. This guarantees that all objects are transferred completely and correctly — audit-proof and comprehensible. In a customer project, we were able to successfully migrate around 75 million documents within just three weeks.

The GDPR and other compliance regulations oblige companies to make their databases and access policies legally secure. With ILM, SAP provides a solid basis for this. However, a certified archiving system is required for complete implementation. The tia® content server from kgs has SAP BC ILM 1.0 and 3.1 certification, can be implemented in a very short time and creates the basis for a successful, GDPR-compliant ILM project.

With the relocation of SAP systems to Microsoft Azure, the need for cloud-enabled archiving is growing. Scalability and open standards such as CMIS are crucial. The kgs tia® archive is cloud-native, integrates directly with SAP, supports ArchiveLink® and CMIS, and runs seamlessly on Azure. This gives companies audit-proof archiving that is flexibly scalable and fits perfectly into their cloud strategy.
