With strategic help from SolutionXchg and the use of the KGS Migration Tool for SAP Archives, Wells Fargo moved over 2.8 million documents onto an IBM FileNet P8 target document archiving solution. The solutionXchg team moved all documents from an outdated IXOS/OpenText archive server and an ailing SAP ContentServer to the target system in a seamless operation, with ZERO impact on end-users and existing business processes. Using the unique proxy functionality of the KGS Migration4ArchiveLink tool, end users started archiving new documents onto the target system from day one and retrieving documents from both the source and target systems simultaneously – all this while legacy documents migrated at high speed in the background. The actual migration of documents took all but 15 work days – completely risk free and revision proof. Wells Fargo team members praised the migration a “non-event, with stakeholders extremely happy”!

The City of Edmonton (CoE) IT department in Canada successfully completed a cost saving archive migration this week. CoE choose to utilize the KGS Migration Tool to migrate over 800 thousand data files from a legacy SAP-linked archiving solution to a new target archiving solution. The migration happened seamlessly in the background without noticeable impact for the business community. Certain instabilities with the ailing legacy system required to prop-up the legacy system before beginning with the production migration. Once the legacy system was stabilized and the migration procedure was established, the actual production migration took less than 10 business days.
While being a low cost entry level solution, many companies reach the limit of the SAP Content Server’s abilities in full production use. Whether scalability is an issue or support levels are not sufficient, IT departments quote a variety of reasons for having outgrown their SAP Content Server installations. Replace your existing SAP content archive and migrate your documents with our high performance migration tool to a revision-proof and future-proof archiving solution from KGS Software.
Content management systems for SAP require an underlying compliant and secure storage layer to prevent documents and data from untimely deletion and manipulation. iTernity iCAS is such a storage layer. Learn how you can build a flexible and cost-effective WORM compliant storage by leveraging your existing NAS/SAN environment.
IT server rooms inevitably grow in size as businesses add applications and new hardware constantly gets integrated into system landscapes. As a result, the need for administration, power, cooling, and space increases dramatically. Many companies therefore run initiatives to reduce their IT costs; some through outsourcing and others through hosting, but most companies realize that constant adaptation is the only path to success. So when it is time to overhaul your IT infrastructure, also minimize your SAP imaging and archiving IT infrastructure needs.
