The aim is also to support customers in the implementation of SAP archiving projects with bundled expertise.

This combination not only enables companies and public sector organizations to benefit in the short term, but also to position themselves for the future in the area of archiving. The networking of different systems within organizations, but also with external business partners, is becoming more and more common. This makes it all the more important to archive the associated data volumes reliably and efficiently at the same time.”
