The benefits of Document Archiving for SAP .

Lower HANA and storage costs

Move documents and historical data out of SAP tables into a scalable archive, reducing your HANA footprint and infrastructure spend.

Improved SAP performance

A leaner database significantly speeds up document-heavy processes in FI, MM, SD, HR, and logistics.

Better audit readiness and compliance

Tamper-proof storage, legal retention rules, and audit-proof document access help you meet GDPR and regulatory requirements.

Simpler upgrades and S/4HANA or RISE migrations

Legacy content, KPRO repositories, and SOFFCONT1 attachments are controlled before your transition, lowering risk and effort.

Less operational burden for IT

A standardised, supported SAP archiving solution eliminates manual clean-up, custom scripts, and recurring incidents.

Document access directly in SAP

Users continue to work in their familiar SAP transactions, and documents are automatically sent to the right place via ArchiveLink.

Future-proof archiving landscape

A stable, scalable archive ready for S/4HANA, RISE, and long-term legal retention requirements.

A committed X-Center team at your side

Consultants who understand your SAP processes, stay involved after go-live, and support your roadmap in the long term.

Document Archiving for SAP, the solution explained.

X-Center delivers a complete, end-to-end SAP document archiving solution based on OpenText Archiving and Document Access for SAP, Archive Center, and Core Archive.

Together, we define which documents must be archived, how long they must be kept, and how users should find them in SAP. Based on this, we design an SAP–OpenText architecture that fits your landscape, whether on-premises, in a private cloud, or hybrid.

After go-live, X-Center can also operate and monitor your archiving platform. We keep track of performance, job health, storage usage, and interfaces, ensuring your SAP landscape remains fast, compliant, and predictable.

Challenges with legal retention management for SAP documents .

Degrading SAP performance and rising costs

Growing tables and large attachments slow down SAP performance while HANA and storage costs continue to increase without a clear data growth strategy.

Blocked S/4HANA and SAP RISE transitions

Legacy documents, KPRO content and SOFFCONT1 data make migrations more complex, risky and time-consuming.

Unreliable legal retention and audit readiness

Legal retention rules and audit requirements are difficult to enforce due to inconsistent storage locations and access controls.

High operational load on IT teams

IT teams spend too much time on manual clean-up and incident resolution instead of structural improvements and optimisation.

Why you need a SAP document archiving partner for implementation

SAP is at the core of finance, logistics, HR, procurement and sales. Over time, large volumes of documents and attachments accumulate in the system, increasing complexity and operational pressure. Without a clear document archiving strategy, system performance declines, storage costs rise and upgrades or migrations become more risky. A specialised partner helps you regain control and turn document archiving into a stable, structural capability instead of an ongoing issue.

A partner helps move documents and attachments out of the SAP database into a secure archive, reducing database load, improving performance and keeping SAP HANA growth under control.

With a clean and consistent document archiving setup, upgrades, system copies and SAP S/4HANA or SAP RISE migrations become simpler, faster and far less risky.

Retention rules, legal requirements and audit access are implemented correctly, reducing compliance risk and eliminating time-consuming manual clean-up and incident handling by IT teams.
