Improve efficiency of SAP business processes and users by linking relevant content to SAP
Increase end-user productivity with easy retrieval from the archive -- simply and effectively from an SAP GUI interface, even years after the data or content was originally stored.
Establish a scalable and secure back-end archive management repository that offers virtually unlimited growth capabilities, expanding to become an in-place repository for your organization's enterprise content management (ECM) deployment.
Use support for SAP NetWeaver ILM retention for archived SAP data and IBM records management to retain SAP data and related content based on regulatory and legal requirements.
It is part of the IBM Smart Archive strategy. Smart Archive is a comprehensive approach that combines IBM software, systems and service capabilities designed to help you extract value and gain new intelligence from information by collecting, organizing, analyzing and leveraging that information.
