Case Study: Keeping legacy data safe (REWE Group, an internationally active trading group)
In order to avoid duplicate structures and reduce costs, the SAP system of Supermarkets North, which was taken over into the Group, was no longer to be operated productively. In contrast to the current, operational data, the legacy data was not to be transferred to the REWE SAP system. REWE was nevertheless faced with the challenge of retaining this data as cost-effectively as possible for tax-relevant audits. Since the commercial relationships were also to be retained, the choice for decommissioning the SAP system of Supermarkets North fell on the PBS solution Enterprise Content Store. The PBS ECS is a PC-based solution into which data (e.g. for tax audit purposes) can be easily extracted from the SAP system environment and handed over to the auditing instances for SAP-independent processing.
