Accelerate your digital transformation by moving to the cloud

ERP modernization means moving from heavily customized, on-premise systems to a cloud platform such as SAP S/4HANA Cloud, and deciding what data, content, and applications come with you. It matters now because SAP mainstream maintenance for SAP ECC 6.0 ends in 2027, with extended maintenance available through 2030 at added cost. Decisions made before the move set migration cost, operating cost, and AI readiness for years. OpenText helps organizations make those decisions with a governed content foundation. Archive what you don't need to move, retire legacy applications, connect content to SAP processes, and prepare information for AI.
Start by reducing what you move. Every terabyte carried into SAP S/4HANA Cloud adds migration effort, testing, and cloud cost. Archiving inactive SAP data before the move shrinks the database and the migration scope, and retiring legacy applications removes systems you would otherwise keep running only for data access. A phased approach, with pilots by business unit or region, limits disruption and proves value early. OpenText Core Archive for SAP Solutions archives historical SAP data while keeping it accessible for audits and business users.
Legacy application decommissioning retires systems that stay live only so people can still find old records. Each one carries license, infrastructure, and security costs long after the business stops using it. Decommissioning moves that historical data into a governed archive, keeps it searchable and compliant with retention rules, and lets you shut the original system down. During an ERP migration, this reduces both what you move and what you maintain afterward. Learn more about legacy application decommissioning.
A clean core keeps SAP S/4HANA close to standard—with fewer modifications and less data in the production system—so upgrades and new capabilities are easier to adopt. SAP data archiving solutions support this by moving historical and inactive data out of the production database while keeping it accessible from within SAP applications for audits, reporting, and business processes. The result is a smaller database, lower infrastructure cost, and less testing and maintenance after go-live. OpenText Core Archive for SAP Solutions is SAP-certified and archives SAP data and documents in the cloud.
OpenText content integrations for SAP Solutions bring documents directly into SAP transactions, so users see contracts, invoices, drawings, and records in context without switching systems. Content is linked to SAP business objects—such as purchase orders, customers, and assets—and document workflows, such as approvals and exceptions run inside processes like procure-to-pay, order-to-cash, and asset management. The same governance rules apply across SAP and non-SAP content, simplifying the integration landscape and reducing manual handoffs.
Retention obligations often outlast the systems that created the records. Governed archiving applies retention rules, legal hold, and access controls to archived SAP data and documents, so records stay compliant and retrievable after the source system is retired. Auditors and business users can find archived records without keeping legacy systems running, and access can be tracked through audit trails. Setting classification and retention rules during SAP S/4HANA migration prep is far easier than retrofitting them after go-live.
AI and agents are only as reliable as the information they can access, and much of the business context they need—such as contracts, correspondence, and records—lives in content rather than structured SAP data. Gartner reports that only 14% of IT leaders say their content and data are governed enough for AI.* Migration is the moment to close that gap because you can classify content, apply retention and access controls, and connect it to SAP processes. Governed content gives AI tools like OpenText Content Aviator and SAP Joule trusted, contextual information to find, summarize, and act on.

Managing data is a critical step in SAP Integrated Toolchain, the execution engine for RISE with SAP. OpenText solutions for SAP are SAP-certified solution extensions, co-engineered with SAP and available through SAP, so archiving, decommissioning, and content management fit into the RISE with SAP plan rather than running as a separate project. Organizations use them to reduce their data footprint before SAP S/4HANA migration, retire legacy applications, and govern the information that powers operations and AI after go-live.
