The Hidden Cost of Outdated SAP Data
Is Outdated SAP Data quietly draining your resources?
Many SAP systems continue to grow year after year — not because of current business activity, but because of historical data that is no longer relevant. This data remains in production “just in case” it’s needed for audit or compliance.
But Outdated SAP Data can hurt your system far more than it helps.
Why Outdated SAP Data Slows You Down
Keeping years of inactive data within your production SAP system leads to:
- 🐌 Slower transaction performance – large tables delay critical business processes.
- 💾 Bloating databases – unnecessary records take up space on high-cost storage.
- 💸 Rising SAP HANA costs – in-memory storage is expensive, especially when filled with outdated data.
- 🕒 Longer backup and restore cycles – backups take more time and more resources.
- ⚠️ Compliance risk – unarchived data complicates retention management and audit trails.
Without a defined strategy for managing Outdated SAP Data, your IT team is stuck scaling infrastructure and delaying critical projects like your S/4HANA transformation.
How Dynamic Data Archiving Solves the Problem
Dynamic Data Archiving by Enterprise Data Insight is an enterprise-grade Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) solution that solves the outdated data dilemma.
It helps you:
- Identify inactive records
- Extract them from your live SAP environment
- Archive them securely to external platforms like Microsoft SharePoint or file systems
All data is encrypted, read-only, and access is managed via role-based security controls — ensuring Outdated SAP Data is still available, but no longer slowing you down.
Designed for SAP S/4HANA Migration
Migrating to SAP S/4HANA? Don’t take Outdated SAP Data with you.
Dynamic Data Archiving helps organisations:
- Reduce migration volume for faster transitions
- Trim project costs and cut downtime
- Retire ECC systems while preserving historical data access
With S/4HANA license costs based on data volume, archiving before migration is a strategic move that saves money and reduces complexity.
Smart Archiving Across SAP Modules
SAP data isn’t one-size-fits-all — and neither is archiving.
Dynamic Data Archiving supports archive objects tailored to specific SAP modules:
- FI (Finance)
- SD (Sales & Distribution)
- MM (Materials Management)
- Others as needed
Each module is handled with intelligence: related records are grouped, clean deletions are ensured, and archive files remain readable and reloadable. This structured approach maintains compliance and audit readiness.
Retire Legacy Systems with Confidence
Many companies keep entire legacy systems online just to access historical SAP data. That’s a huge waste of budget and resources.
With Dynamic Data Archiving, you can:
- Decommission legacy ECC or third-party systems
- Retain full access to archived data
- Stay compliant with audit and legal retention policies
- Free up IT resources and simplify your SAP landscape
This solution supports both SAP and non-SAP data sources — making it perfect for enterprise-wide legacy retirement.
