Is your S/4HANA migration approaching? Then now is the perfect time to thoroughly clean out your SAP database. Because storage space is expensive — especially under S/4HANA.

Less Baggage, More Performance

Before you migrate, only take with you what you really need. itesys helps you develop a smart housekeeping concept:

Which data can you reorganize?

Which can you archive?

Which might you still need later?

Together with you, we find the optimal balance between data availability and system lean-ness. If desired, we also implement PBS Archive Add-ons – for maximum efficiency and secure access to your legacy data.

Transparency: We show you where the bottlenecks are

We analyze your database and identify the objects consuming the most space. Then we decide together:

What can go?

What stays?

What goes into the archive?

With our best practices, you ensure a clean data foundation – without disrupting the daily business of your departments.

Archiving? It can also be automatic.

With itesys’ Savento Tower, your archiving processes run on their own: you benefit from automated archiving runs, seamless documentation, and smart guidance during execution – ideal even for beginners. This reduces manual effort, avoids errors, and makes archiving a relaxed routine process.

Decommission old systems, but keep access

You don’t want to take your legacy data with you into S/4HANA? We have a solution for that too:

Together with our partner PBS, we offer you an intelligent decommissioning concept. The data is securely stored in an SAP IQ database and can later be accessed directly from your new S/4HANA system. Your old system? You can retire it.

Stay clean even after migration

Housekeeping doesn’t stop at go-live. itesys supports you in the new S/4HANA system with a long-term archiving concept that takes all innovations into account.
