Why Do We Use SAP Information
Lifecycle Management (ILM)?

Affordable, Cost-Efficient Archiving

ADS automates the archival of non-critical and inactive data based on retention policies. It intelligently compresses and tiers of data into cost-efficient storage layers, minimizing reliance on expensive systems like SAP.

Benefits

  • Minimizes long-term storage expenses without compromising data accessibility
  • Reduces IT overhead through automated, policy-driven archiving
  • Frees up high-cost infrastructure like SAP by offloading inactive data
  • Streamlines cloud migration by archiving non-essential data upfront

Pre-Migration Data Discovery & Application Insight

Archon Analyzer intelligently scans and classifies your SAP data based on compliance and actual usage, revealing inactive, redundant, and non-compliant records to enable a regulation-ready migration.

Benefits

  • Identifies compliance-sensitive data (e.g., PII, PHI, financials)
  • Classifies data based on retention, usage, and business value
  • Increases visibility into data usage and retention gaps to support audit-readiness
  • Integrates with ADS for automated handoff of analyzed data

Secure, Compliant, and Accessible Data Archival

ADS ensures SAP ILM that archived data remains protected, regulation-ready, and easily retrievable at all times. It provides enterprise-grade encryption, Role-Based Access Control (RBAC), and seamless integration with identity providers to support zero-trust architectures. Archived data remains fully searchable and accessible, ensuring usability without compromising governance or security.

Benefits

  • “Data bunker” safeguards prevent breaches and unauthorized access
  • Role-based access provides secure, auditable control over sensitive data
  • Supports decommissioned SAP systems while remaining audit-ready
  • Reduces risk with Zero Trust-aligned identity verification and SSO integration

Access & Fast Data Retrieval

ADS integrates deeply with SAP ILM to deliver rapid, reliable access to archived data across all storage tiers. It leverages advanced metadata indexing and AI-enhanced search to provide instant retrieval of both structured SAP objects and unstructured content like documents and images.

Benefits

  • Prebuilt screens replicate transaction codes for seamless usability
  • Native SAP interface support for seamless user experience
  • Accelerates decision-making with near-instant access to critical archived data
  • Supports SAP object types, logs, and attachments including unstructured formats (PDFs, scans, images)
