System decommissioning
Our expertise in decommissioning SAP systems
Historical milestones:
From SAP R/2 to
SAP ERP 5.0
Our experience in decommissioning SAP systems spans a wide range of versions, including historical milestones such as SAP R/2 and SAP R/3 and subsequent versions such as SAP ERP 4.6 and SAP ERP 5.0. These versions have shaped the development of SAP ERP and serve as the foundation for today’s modern systems.
Ready for the Future:
expertise in SAP ERP 6.0 and HANA
We offer additional expertise in archiving modern versions, such as SAP ERP 6.0 and HANA, thereby increasing the long-term retrievability of SAP systems in our ViewBox archiving solution. In addition, we can also archive all personnel management (HR) versions of SAP.
Supporting the
Data Retention Tool (DART)
in our archiving
solution
The SAP Data Retention Tool (DART) is a software solution developed by SAP specifically for archiving and storing data in SAP systems. DART enables companies to store, manage and retain data in accordance with legal requirements or internal guidelines.
Our ViewBox solution also supports the SAP Data Retention Tool (DART) and allows you to export data in the right format for tax authorities and regulators. This is particularly important as many tax authorities in different countries favour this format for reporting purposes.

SAP
system analysis
Our system decommissioning process begins with a thorough analysis of the SAP system. This analysis is crucial for estimating the timeframe and costs associated with archiving the legacy SAP system. The results of the system analysis are presented in the form of a fixed price offer, which you can accept or reject. The analysis includes technical and business aspects, such as access to the SAP system, the type and size of the SAP database, the SAP reports required and much more.
Project: SAP
archiving
After we have conducted the SAP system analysis, you can decide whether or not to carry out the project with us. Every project begins with a kick-off meeting, where your team meets with one of our experienced project managers. We take over archiving your SAP system and thus relieve your capacities. The SAP project includes various milestones, such as access to the SAP system, data export, SAP data transfer and documentation of all processes.
Each project usually takes between 3 and 6 months, depending on the complexity of your SAP system. Our team and project manager will be at your side throughout the entire process.
At the end of the SAP project, we conduct SAP test and acceptance phases to ensure that all data has been successfully transferred. We support these phases using minimal resources and ensure that all SAP requirements are met before finalising the SAP project.
Results: SAP
archiving
By switching to our specially developed ViewBox software solution, all important tables and documents are transferred there in preparation for future requests. ViewBox, a search system, enables easy and efficient access to archived data and documents. In addition, we reconstruct all important reports to ensure that important information remains available even after the original system has been decommissioned.
Once ViewBox has been implemented, the original system can be decommissioned.
At the end of the project, you receive comprehensive documentation so that, even years later, an expert third party can see how the archiving was conducted and, above all, how it was tested. In addition, we store all individual tests and individual archiving steps in a Jira ticket system until the archiving system is dissolved.
The World of ViewBox
As a modern scan and search system, AvenDATA’s ViewBox software enables data to be searched, analysed and shared quickly and efficiently. ViewBox also offers an automated function for deleting data after a certain period of time. Using reliable cloud infrastructure, ViewBox ensures secure access to your data via an intuitive web application.
ViewBox undergoes regular security audits and is already used in hundreds of organisations to retrieve historical data from decommissioned legacy systems. As a proven solution, ViewBox provides a reliable way to access and use historical data effectively.
