Leveraging SAP Information Lifecycle Management - Latest Insights and Applications

Abstract:

In our data-driven era, managing information efficiently throughout its lifecycle is crucial. Applications like SAP store enterprise information that must be retained due to regulatory and statutory requirements, particularly with SAP ERP. As SAP S/4 HANA emerges, many organizations are upgrading from their legacy SAP ERP system to SAP S/4 HANA. Keeping retired applications like SAP ECC incurs hardware and software costs. SAP Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) provides a structured approach to data retention, compliance, and cost management. This article examines the need, functionality, and benefits of SAP ILM, featuring a literature review, comparative analysis, and case studies of real companies leveraging this technology.
