Here are today's topics:

9 - Multipurpose your storage arrays: If your IT department acted like many other IT departments, you have strategically invested into a Sarbanes/Oxley compliant long-term storage solution. Whether this is an EMC, HDS, IBM or NetApp device does not matter, important is that the cost of storage is low. These devices are fail-safe and greatly reduce your file server administration effort, but only if you use them! All your SAP® archived documents should be stored on one of these storage arrays for fast, long-term and compliant document access. Get rid of your maintenance intensive jukeboxes.
 
10 - Eliminate data duplication: SAP ArchiveLink™ with its document access directly through SAP® applications makes it unnecessary to maintain an external index database for document access outside SAP®. Duplicating index information requires manual effort or additional software interfaces between SAP® and your storage solution. These interfaces need to be maintained and tested with every SAP® upgrade and therefore add to the complexity of your software environment. Eliminating these superfluous interfaces and eliminating the database to hold the index not only simplify your administrative tasks but immediately save maintenance dollars associated with a full blown database to store and retrieve your external index information.
