Prepare your migration to S/4HANA by reducing data volume now. We identify archiving opportunities, establish the top 10 critical objects for migration success, including those with the greatest impact on conversion times, and implement the initial archiving phases.
Result: a simplified migration, lower costs, and a faster transition to RISE with SAP.
Executive Summary
The “Archive Before RISE” Fast Track prepares organizations for a successful transition to RISE with SAP by reducing data volume prior to migration. It ensures that only relevant, compliant, and necessary data is moved to the new environment.
Business Context
Migrating to RISE with SAP without prior data reduction significantly increases costs, risks, and project complexity. Large datasets slow down migrations, increase infrastructure requirements, and may carry obsolete or non-compliant data into the new system.
Objectives
- Reduce data footprint before migration
- Minimize RISE subscription and infrastructure costs
- Accelerate migration timelines
- Ensure compliance with retention policies
Methodology
- Pre-Migration Assessment (Fast Track DVMS)
Identification of data eligible for archiving - Archiving Strategy Definition
Top 10 Archive object become the scope - Archiving Execution
Archiving of up to 10 archive objects in a FAST TRACK process.
Target Clients
- Organizations planning RISE with SAP
- S/4HANA migration programs
- Companies with large ECC systems
