Yes! If you’re planning a migration to S/4HANA and/or the cloud, then archiving should be a key part of the project.
Right-sizing your data in readiness for S/4HANA will dramatically reduce TCO
The Benefits include:
- Manage and streamline your data effectively
 - Access data quickly regardless of where it is stored
 - Lower appliance costs significantly
 - Minimise resources required for migration
 - Reduce SAP HANA total cost of ownership (TCO)
 - Increase SAP HANA return on investment (ROI)
 
Even a simple ‘housekeeping exercise’ can reduce the S/4HANA appliance requirement. We have a number of customers who had over 5TB of non-business technical data, that could be deleted with no interaction from other business areas!
