ECC to S/4HANA Migration: The Strategic Role of Archiving

Many ECC to S/4HANA migrations slow down because large volumes of historical data are moved without a clear archival plan. This webinar will show how structured archiving helps reduce costs, retire ECC faster, and keep compliance access intact.

In this webinar, we’ll break down how a structured archival approach will help reduce the S/4HANA data footprint, support ECC decommissioning, and preserve compliant access to historical data without overpaying for storage.

Enterprises moving from SAP ECC to S/4HANA often assume technology is the hardest part. In reality, data becomes the biggest bottleneck.

ECC systems hold decades of finance, payroll, supply chain, and compliance data. Much of it must remain accessible for audits and regulatory needs, but very little belongs in an expensive in-memory S/4HANA environment.

Migrating everything increases cost. Leaving data behind delays ECC decommissioning. This is where archiving becomes critical.

In this session, we'll cover

  • Why ECC to S/4HANA programs slow down without a clear data strategy
  • How archiving reduces S/4HANA cost and complexity
  • What data should move forward and what should remain archived
  • How to retire ECC without losing access to historical data
  • How Archon Data Store supports compliant data retention and retrieval

What You Will Take Away

  • A clear view of why archiving is essential in S/4HANA migrations
  • A practical approach to deciding what data to migrate
  • How to maintain audit and regulatory access without increasing costs
  • A realistic path to ECC decommissioning using Archon Data Store
