Maximise the value of SAP through efficient data volume management
SAP data growth can be relentless, volatile, and overwhelming. Left unchecked, it can quickly degrade your IT performance, increase costs, and threaten your compliance strategy.
Proceed Archiving for SAP takes control of that growth. By moving inactive SAP data to a secure, accessible repository – this proven, trusted solution reduces your data footprint. The result? Lower IT cost of ownership, optimised IT performance, and confident compliance.
SAP data archiving is a proven, trusted solution to reduce your data footprint. Here are some of the business benefits:
Dramatically reduce hardware, software, and maintenance costs by archiving legacy SAP data to a compressed archive data store. Streamline compliance, retention, and reporting across legacy data sources
Minimise database growth and improve performance. Less data on the active database improves day-to-day operations from faster system response times to reduced downtime during updates and backups
Reducing your data footprint in preparation for your migration to S/4HANA and/or the Cloud can significantly reduce the costs associated with storage as well as simplify the actual migration process
Ensure availability and authenticity of archived data information in accordance with regulatory compliance, governance, and business requirements. Retain data in a format which protects from modification and premature deletion
How much storage space could you save?
Unleash the full potential of archiving with our expert assistance: Whether you are just starting out, have archived previously, or are actively archiving but still seeing growth - we can help!
Here at Proceed, we offer two types of archiving:
Before embarking on a complex, company-wide archiving project, it’s often beneficial to address the sprawl of technical data that accumulates over time. Technical data includes information that supports an organisation’s IT systems, such as system logs and IDocs. Our team of experts can assist you in identifying which technical data can be archived and safely deleted with minimal impact on other business units, helping you to experience the benefits of archiving sooner.
Functional data includes information that supports specific functions or business processes within an organisation, such as financial transactions, customer details, and inventory data. Archiving functional data can be complex, as it often involves collaboration from other business units. With our proven methodology for SAP archiving projects, honed through hundreds of successful implementations, we can help you plan and implement a bespoke archiving solution to achieve your desired outcomes.
Our proven methodology, integrated services portfolio, and team of expert consultants collaborate with you to take the cost, risk, and complexity out of archiving, so you can streamline your SAP environment more quickly and achieve faster time to value. The below approach is focussing on ERP, CRM and SRM. For SAP Business Warehouse systems, learn here how we can help you achieve similar results.
Our complimentary, quick and non-invasive data assessment is based on non-confidential data that you supply to us. We can provide an analysis on the opportunities to reduce the amount of data in your system and the best approach to follow.
In addition to offering a free, high-level assessment, we also typically do a data deepdive. Which provides many insights into the distribution of data, the ability to run multiple “what-if” scenarios and what your optimal HANA sizing looks like.
Our collaborative approach to SAP data archiving allows us to tailor a strategy to meet your unique business requirements, whether you are aiming to achieve compliance, reduce costs, improve performance, or migrate to S/4HANA.
With Proceed Archiving Service, we can not only support your archiving activities, we can also run your daily archiving efforts. This service can also be extended to address growth management and allow for bespoke reporting creation to extract data from the archive.

Before beginning an archiving project, it’s important to obtain buy-in from stakeholders, prepare for project setup and management, and familiarise yourself with best practices and potential pitfalls. To help you get started, we’ve compiled some useful resources for you to reference as you plan your archiving project.
Running a successful archiving project comes with many considerations. A good strategy aligns with the company’s goals, and a detailed plan with clear roles and responsibilities is necessary. The aim is for archiving to become a self-sustaining, routine process with measurable results.
When embarking on your journey to S/4HANA, whether you are opting for a greenfield approach or upgrading an existing system through a brownfield strategy, implementing key data management strategies is crucial to ensuring a seamless, cost-effective, and swift migration process.
We’ve completed hundreds of successful archiving projects for our clients, helping them achieve various goals such as reducing costs, improving performance, and achieving compliance. Our tailored approach and proven track record set us apart. Here are a few examples of our customer successes.
