Archive SAP GTS:
Safeguard your data. Retain critical analytics. Guarantee compliance with AvenDATA.
We help you secure vital global trade records after the end of regular maintenance on December 31, 2025, and throughout your SAP GTS edition for SAP HANA migration. TSX-listed companies rely on this proven solution to significantly reduce maintenance costs and ensure strict CRA regulatory compliance.
The SAP GTS Challenge
You face a critical problem: your outdated SAP GTS environment continues to consume large budgets while delivering little operational value. With regular maintenance having officially ended on December 31, 2025, this situation is rapidly escalating. Starting in 2026, SAP restricts support to customer-specific maintenance only.
As a result, you are forced to keep these outdated environments running purely to ensure strict CRA regulatory compliance, cut off from vital security patches, legislative updates, and technical modernization.
This legacy system trap leads to cascading operational problems:
- Aging infrastructure: you must continually maintain or replace outdated hardware.
- External vendor costs: you are locked into expensive ongoing maintenance contracts.
- Tied-up IT resources: your internal specialists are stuck on dead end maintenance instead of strategic IT modernization.
- Growing security threats: your enterprise is exposed to greater risk now that regular maintenance has ended.
- Operational bottlenecks: highly complex, outdated system administration limits your scalability.
The result: TSX-listed companies and global enterprises spend significant capital year after year sustaining platforms that deliver no strategic value. These costs are high and entirely avoidable.

Rapid Execution and Measurable ROI,
Even for Complex SAP GTS Systems
Retiring your SAP GTS legacy system typically takes one to six months, depending on system complexity, data volume, and your custom foreign trade workflows. We use a highly standardized IT modernization methodology to archive even the largest enterprise GTS environments efficiently and securely.
For example, we have successfully migrated SAP GTS systems with more than 30 TB of data into our industry-standard platform. This transition secures all critical analytics, custom Z reports, and foreign trade documentation, ensuring audit readiness, strict CRA regulatory compliance, and full traceability for your complex customs workflows.
With this proven solution, TSX-listed companies and global enterprises achieve significant financial savings. You reduce maintenance costs by eliminating licence fees for SAP, databases, and operating systems, as well as external vendor fees, while reducing infrastructure costs and the workload on internal staff.
In most of our IT modernization projects, clients achieve a return on investment (ROI) in under one year. We help you realize these savings by eliminating outdated licences, retiring aging infrastructure, and freeing up your internal IT resources.
