S/4HANA data decisions

Apply shared governance criteria to decide what should migrate, archive, remain independently accessible or be destroyed after authorization.

Governed SAP ECC data decisions for an S/4HANA transformation ECC data cohorts pass through one shared set of operational, process, retention, hold, access and disposition criteria. Evidence supports four possible outcomes: migrate, archive, preserve independently or destroy after authorization.

Your S/4HANA program needs a decision about history.

Carrying the full ECC footprint forward can increase transformation scope. Leaving history behind without a usable access strategy can preserve dependency on ECC.

ArchiveHub creates a third path: an operational future in S/4HANA and an independently governed home for required business history.

S/4HANA for today.
ArchiveHub for everything that came before.

Selective scope

Separate operational migration requirements from long-term historical-access needs.

Custom history

Preserve agreed custom tables, fields, reports, documents and attachments.

Modern access

Give users a modern historical experience and reduce reliance on ECC for historical lookup, subject to agreed scope and business validation.

What belongs in S/4HANA—and what belongs in history?

Define the operating, historical, governance and validation requirements before migration scope becomes destiny.
