This partnership gives SAP-driven organisations the means to measure the carbon impact of their SAP landscape and quantify the tangible savings achieved by TJC Group’s SAP archiving and data and CO2 reduction programmes.
TJC Group is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Avilastar Limited to help organisations reduce both the financial and environmental impact of their SAP systems.
As SAP landscapes continue to grow, so do the associated data volumes, infrastructure costs, and energy consumption. Data is often overlooked in sustainability strategies, yet it represents a significant and growing contributor to CO2 emissions. Left unmanaged, it becomes an invisible polluter and a source of waste, both financially and environmentally.
Through this partnership, TJC Group’s expertise in SAP data archiving, SAP ILM, and legacy system decommissioning is combined with Avilastar Limited’s carbon intelligence framework to deliver measurable outcomes.
What this partnership means for organisations
Together, we will enable organisations to take control of their SAP data footprint and transform it into a lever for both cost optimisation and sustainability. Organisations gain a clear view of both the carbon footprint of their SAP estate and the potential savings achievable with TJC Group’s Data Volume Management programs.
With a joint approach, businesses can now:
- Measure the carbon impact of their SAP landscape
- Quantify the CO2 emissions savings from data archiving and data deletion initiatives
- Reduce data footprint and optimise infrastructure usage
- Support Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) compliance and broader sustainability reporting
- Align with NetZero carbon emissions global targets
- Build a clear roadmap towards a more energy-efficient SAP environment
Incorporating sustainability metrics alongside financial outcomes strengthens the case for action and supports more informed decision-making. It provides a clear view of both TCO and CO2 emissions, helping SAP managers, CIOs, and CFOs make informed, future-ready decisions.
“Through this partnership, businesses will put a clear figure on the savings generated by TJC Group’s data archiving initiatives. Coupled with Avilastar sustainability recommendations, organisations will be able to design more efficient and sustainable SAP architectures”, Thierry Julien, CEO of TJC Group.
Combining expertise in SAP Data Archiving and sustainability
This partnership brings together deep expertise in both SAP and sustainability. Avilastar Limited specialises in measuring and optimising the sustainability credentials of SAP technology, helping organisations to understand and reduce the environmental footprint of their SAP estates, both before, during and after a Cloud ERP migration.
Arwel Owen, founder of Avilastar Limited, is a seasoned SAP and cloud infrastructure specialist with decades of experience delivering and operating complex enterprise landscapes. A passionate advocate for sustainable IT, Arwel champions the integration of carbon as a core KPI alongside cost, performance and availability. He is actively developing solutions to measure and optimise the energy efficiency of SAP environments.
“Thirty years’ experience in operating large SAP systems has taught me that modern SAP platforms, left unchecked, demand an ever-increasing amount of expensive compute resource — and every byte has an energy cost that, at scale, results in a material carbon footprint. Partnering with TJC Group gives us the expertise in SAP archiving and DVM to address these challenges where and when it matters most, guiding our clients to more informed, cost-effective and sustainable SAP platform decisions.”

This new joint service gives organisations an estimate of the realistic savings achievable with TJC Group’s SAP data reduction programs and Avilastar’s sustainability playbook. For the first time, clients will have a TCO and CO2 emissions snapshot that also illustrates a more energy-efficient target state, with infrastructure cost savings highlighted.
Why Data Volume Management programs reduce CO2 emissions
For organisations navigating RISE with SAP, S/4HANA migration or CloudERP programmes, data volumes directly shape costs, complexity and carbon impact. SAP systems generate and retain large volumes of data, often growing by 15–20% each year. Without proper management, this drives demand for additional storage, compute power, and memory. By archiving inactive data and deleting that no longer holds legal or business value, organisations can significantly reduce the size of their SAP databases. The result is a smaller infrastructure footprint, requiring fewer servers and less storage capacity, which directly lowers energy consumption and associated CO₂ emissions.
Effective data management is no longer just about performance and cost. It is also about responsibility. By reducing unnecessary data and optimising system usage, organisations can make tangible progress towards their environmental targets while improving operational efficiency.
Take the first step towards a greener SAP estate
Organisations can now obtain a clear estimate of the potential cost savings and CO2 reductions achievable across their SAP landscape, along with actionable recommendations to reach a more sustainable target state.
