SAP migration requires enterprise archiving, so we take responsibility for your legacy system.
Partner with AvenDATA to secure, analyze, and use your corporate data.
Migrating to SAP HANA forces a complete legacy system shutdown. We securely archive your obsolete SAP environments, including SAP ECC 6.0 and Bank Analyzer. You ensure regulatory compliance and permanent data access, independent of SAP ILM.
Overcome the challenge during your SAP HANA migration.
Transitioning to SAP HANA forces your enterprise to face a critical secondary challenge. Your organization must retire your legacy SAP systems, including SAP R/3 and SAP ECC 6.0. However, you cannot simply power down these obsolete servers due to strict legal retention mandates. Ensuring full regulatory compliance requires a sound archiving strategy that keeps your data permanently accessible and audit-ready.
Your global enterprise faces several common operational threats when managing legacy SAP environments.
- You incur high operational costs, because even inactive legacy systems generate ongoing licensing fees and infrastructure expenses.
- You expose your architecture to security risks, as obsolete hardware and outdated SAP versions create vulnerabilities.
- You drain internal resources, as maintaining legacy operations ties up your IT engineering capacity.
- You slow modernization, because legacy SAP environments lack scalability and hold back your broader cloud strategy.
- You risk legal liability unless your historical data remains accessible for regulatory compliance audits.
AvenDATA delivers a proven solution. Our proprietary web-based platform lets your enterprise decommission its legacy SAP environment immediately after your SAP HANA migration. You reduce compliance risk and avoid data loss. The archiving system keeps your historical SAP data transparent and readable without ongoing SAP operations.

SAP environments
Retiring your legacy SAP architecture typically requires one to six months depending on your specific system complexity and total data volume. Our standardized methodology lets your organization archive large enterprise systems securely and efficiently, without disrupting daily operations.
We have transitioned SAP environments exceeding 30 TB of active data into our archiving platform. This includes migration of your standard business analytics, proprietary Z-reports, and procedural documentation.
Your enterprise realizes financial savings soon after our IT modernization process. You reduce ongoing licensing fees for legacy SAP environments, content management databases, and obsolete operating systems, while eliminating hardware maintenance costs.
The vast majority of our global enterprise clients achieve a complete return on investment in under twelve months. You achieve this through measurable reductions in software licenses, server infrastructure, and internal engineering resources.
