Effective data management in SAP S/4HANA is no longer optional. With every gigabyte of data multiplying across backups, non-production systems and disaster recovery copies, the cost of poor practices can be staggering. This blog explores how housekeeping, Data Aging and Data Tiering—combined with robust governance frameworks—help organisations in Australia and New Zealand balance performance, cost, and compliance.

Migrating to SAP S/4HANA via Greenfield or Selective Data Transition often leaves critical legacy data in ECC systems. This blog explores three practical strategies for archiving that data: maintaining ECC in the cloud, using SAP ILM Retention Warehouse, or adopting a third-party solution like SNP Data Fridge. Each option is assessed for cost, compliance, access, and complexity—helping you choose the right long-term data retention strategy.

As SAP customers prepare for the inevitable transition from ECC to S/4HANA, data archiving has emerged as a strategic necessity rather than an optional exercise. With in-memory computing costs significantly higher and global data volumes growing exponentially, reducing and optimising data prior to migration can streamline the brownfield conversion process, minimise downtime, and lower long-term operational costs. Beyond migration, embedding robust data lifecycle management in
