Prepare for SAP S/4HANA with Smart Data Archiving
Whether You’re on S/4HANA, ECC, or Planning a Migration—Data Archiving Matters
Is your company already running on SAP S/4HANA, planning a migration, or staying on SAP ECC for the foreseeable future? No matter your SAP path, Verbella offers solutions tailored to your system and business needs.
One critical and often overlooked step in any SAP journey is data archiving. It helps control data growth, reduce database size, and maintain compliance. But did you know that SAP recommends archiving data before migrating to S/4HANA?
Why Archive Before Moving to S/4HANA?
Data volume plays a huge role in your S/4HANA migration. The larger your database, the higher the cost—especially with SAP’s new licensing model, which considers database size.
By archiving data before and after your migration, you can:
-
Reduce your S/4HANA licensing costs
-
Minimize downtime during migration
-
Improve system performance
-
Simplify backups, reorgs, and recovery tasks

SAP System Evaluation – Know Where Your Data Lives
Verbella’s SAP Archiving consultants provide a free system evaluation of your ECC or S/4HANA environment. We identify where large volumes of data and documents are stored—and whether they’re being handled properly.
Many users unknowingly store documents in the SAP database using KPro instead of archiving. Our evaluation highlights:
-
System trouble spots
-
Improper data storage
-
Opportunities for space optimization
We also consider your legal and compliance requirements, helping you choose between SAP ILM, data archiving, or a combination of both.
You’ll receive a detailed report with actionable recommendations tailored to your business goals.
