OpenText™ Archive Center has been the cornerstone of on-premises enterprise information management (EIM) deployments for SAP solutions since the late 1990s. While these systems offer great business value, they can be complex and costly to run and maintain, requiring specialized knowledge and upgrades every three years. Moving to the cloud and a software-as-a-service (SaaS) model can reduce costs (including operational costs, service fees and maintenance) and shift the burden away from internal IT resources. It also delivers benefits like system security, regular software updates and operational agility.
Yes, it can be daunting to think about moving massive amounts of data to the cloud. And it’s essential to have a team of experienced and qualified experts following best practices to ensure a successful migration. This provides:
- Faster implementation time
- Reduced administration resource consumption
- Lower risk
- Validated migration approach
- Maximum adoption
