SAP Archiving as a Service

Data growth is one of the biggest challenges for businesses. Technology is evolving daily, which means organisations need innovative strategies and improved infrastructure to over-come these challenges.  To keep up with the ever increasing data growth, companies must invest in the necessary tools and skills needed to manage data. With data models becoming more complex, development in big data and cloud make it necessary for structured and unstructured data to be captured and managed. This is why data management is essential.

For a typical Fortune 1000 company, just a 10% increase in data accessibility will result in more than $65 million additional net income.
