SAP systems are increasingly used to support company’s core business processes. These systems have to deal not only with data, but also with large number of documents that have traditionally been processed physically and filed in binders. Modern organizations, however, can greatly benefit from processing these documents electronically.
Creating and managing documents electronically brings along new challenges. To be efficient, the documents must indeed be fully integrated and managed as a part of the business process and not kept separate from it. To do so, companies need to manage their documents within their SAP environments.
This is best achieved by using an archiving system which is linked to SAP using the official SAP ArchiveLink interface. By linking efficiently to the SAP system it becomes possible to archive documents in cost effective and tamper-proof external storage systems, to link documents to their corresponding business objects and to then use that link to work with the documents within the context of the particular business process.
The key benefits are:
- Completely integrated into customer’s existing SAP landscape
- Archive certified according to latest SAP guidelines
- Full support of all types of SAP archiving (documents, print lists and data)
- Full support of all document-related archiving scenarios (early archiving, late archiving with or without barcodes, simultaneous archiving)
- Legally compliant storage of all SAP archiving objects
- Support of all SAP releases as of version 3.1
- Digital signature support
- Adapts to customer requirements from On-Demand SAP Archiving to local archiving in the customer’s environment
- The system meets the highest performance requirements with regards to the volume of data stored and access speeds
