Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate are these savings estimates?
These figures are based on industry averages (typically 40-60% data reduction) observed across hundreds of TJC Group projects. However, actual results depend on your specific module usage (FI, CO, SD, MM) and retention policies. A detailed analysis is recommended for a precise business case.

Will data archiving affect my S/4HANA migration?
Yes, positively. Archiving before migration significantly reduces the data volume that needs to be converted and loaded into the HANA in-memory database. This lowers your hardware licensing costs and shortens the migration downtime window.

Is archived data still accessible to users?
Absolutely. Archived data can be accessed seamlessly from within the SAP interface just like live data. Users typically do not notice a difference in retrieval time for archived documents.

What are the main benefits of data archiving in SAP S/4HANA?
Data archiving in SAP S/4HANA helps organisations control database growth, reduce HANA memory requirements and avoid unnecessary jumps into higher T-shirt sizes. This is especially important because HANA scalability comes at a cost, including ongoing infrastructure costs, even in RISE with SAP environments. It also supports better system performance, cleaner housekeeping, lower infrastructure costs and a reduced data carbon footprint.

Why automating data archiving in SAP?
Data archiving in SAP can involve many manual steps, which makes it time-consuming and more likely to go wrong. Automation helps SAP teams run archiving processes more consistently, reduce manual effort and handle larger data volumes. Without automation, it can be difficult to archive enough data to control database growth, HANA memory needs and compliance requirements.
