In preparation for a successful S/4HANA migration, Synergy took a proactive approach to managing their SAP HANA database, saving millions in licensing costs annually by leveraging Data Volume Management (DVM)—one of the most underused features in the SAP standard license. By reducing their SAP HANA database size by 7.5 TB, and deleting 8.6 billion records, Synergy not only optimised their system’s performance but also significantly minimised ongoing licensing fees. For organisations still on ECC or in the process of migrating to S/4HANA, this session highlights Data Volume Management (DVM) as a crucial step to streamline data, reduce costs, and prepare your system for a smoother transition to S/4HANA. This tool, included with your SAP license, can help you manage database growth, securely archive and delete data, and minimise the size of your HANA database—all critical steps for optimizing your environment ahead of migration. Join us to learn how you can leverage DVM to unlock similar savings and efficiency, even before fully transitioning to S/4HANA.
