Build a Leaner, Faster, and Compliant SAP Landscape with Archon ArchiveLink

Modernize your SAP data landscape with Archon ArchiveLink, a scalable, cost-efficient, and compliant solution designed to archive historical SAP ECC data and documents while enabling secure access, long-term retention, and complete legacy system decommissioning.

Archon ArchiveLink Is Now Available on SAP Store

Explore our trusted SAP solution for secure data archiving, historical access, and SAP system decommissioning.

Overview

Archon ArchiveLink helps organizations archive historical SAP ECC data and documents from live production databases to a scalable, lakehouse-based archive. This reduces database growth, infrastructure and licensing costs, improves system performance, and creates a leaner foundation for SAP S/4HANA or Cloud ERP transformation.

It also enables the retirement of legacy SAP ECC systems while preserving secure, on-demand access to historical purchase orders, invoices, HR records, financial postings, and other business documents. With Archon ArchiveLink’s SAP compatibility, role-based access, document linking, and policy-driven retention, organizations can meet long-term compliance requirements without keeping legacy SAP systems operational solely for audits or historical data access.

Features

Similar Interface, zero disruption, even after ECC is gone

Even after the legacy SAP ECC is decommissioned, Archon mirrors its data structure, folder hierarchy, and navigation. Finance, audit, and compliance teams keep working the way they always have, no retraining, no workflow changes. 

  • Retire legacy SAP ECC systems without losing access to critical business records. 
  • Keep historical documents available for audits, reporting, and compliance reviews. 
  • Eliminate the cost and operational overhead of legacy applications solely for historical queries.

One dashboard for every retention obligation

A compliance dashboard gives governance teams full visibility into retention policies, legal holds, and regulatory obligations in one place, built for information lifecycle management, not spreadsheets. 

  • View retention policies, legal holds, and compliance requirements from a centralized dashboard. 
  • Improve visibility across information lifecycle management activities. 
  • Monitor retention obligations without relying on disconnected spreadsheets or manual tracking. 
  • Strengthen governance with a consolidated view of archived information. 

Historical access through familiar SAP ECC transaction screens

Predefined ECC transaction screens keep archived data accessible after decommissioning or migrating SAP applications, so nobody has to keep a legacy application alive just to look something up. 

  • Preserve familiar navigation and access experiences after SAP system decommissioning 
  • Reduce user retraining and minimize disruption to established workflows 
  • Keep finance, audit, and compliance teams productive independent of the old environment

Search and Retrieve archived data with Query Visualizer

Metadata-driven search, dashboards, and reporting let business users query, visualize, and report on archived SAP ECC and non-SAP data through the Query Visualizer, no trip back to the source application required. 

  • Query, retrieve and analyze archived SAP and non-SAP data through Query Visualizer  
  • Support business reporting and analysis without the source application 
  • Quick and timely access to historical data for audit requests
