Application Retirement

Sunset obsolete SAP systems without losing access to your legacy data

When moving to SAP S/4HANA or implementing other transformation projects such as carveouts, M&A or system consolidations, companies face the dilemma of how to deal with data and documents that remain in their legacy systems. It goes without saying that tax-relevant data and information which is important for product-related processes and internal company analyses must be retained for a longer period of time. When it comes to system decommissioning, companies need a flexible solution that provides fast data access and auditability while keeping hosting and administration costs to a minimum.

Depending on the transformation scenario and system size, if companies want to shut down obsolete SAP systems, they have to consider application data and linked documents that stem from various SAP modules. On top of that, they often need to deal with multiple systems at the same time, for example when combining an SAP S/4HANA conversion with the consolidation of a system landscape that has grown larger over time.

Our flexible solution for Application Retirement named SNP Datafridge makes it easy to decommission obsolete systems and archive legacy data that is still relevant for auditing and business purposes in a cost-effective, secure and freely accessible manner.
