Archive SAP Carve-Outs
Safeguard your data. Retain critical analytics. Guarantee compliance with AvenDATA.
From SAP R/3 through ECC 6.0 to SAP HANA, we help you secure SAP carve-out data across every system generation and industry vertical, from Bank Analyzer to IS-U modules.
The Challenge
You must secure critical SAP data from your divested business units before you lose access to the original legacy system.
During corporate carve-out projects such as mergers, acquisitions, spin-offs, or major restructurings, TSX-listed companies face a strategic dilemma.
You need permanent data traceability to meet Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) record keeping requirements and to mitigate litigation risks. At the same time, keeping the old SAP environment running means absorbing substantial infrastructure, licensing, and maintenance costs.
AvenDATA resolves this dilemma. Our industry-standard platform gives you a secure, structured way to archive SAP carve-out data and retire the legacy system with confidence.

Your SAP Analytics Live On
Even after your carve-out
We do more than extract your data during a corporate carve-out. We help you preserve the business logic and critical reporting functions of your divested business units.
- With our solution, your carve-out data remains actionable and fully traceable long after the legacy system is retired.
- Continue to run vital SAP standard reports and your custom Z reports
- Instantly retrieve supporting documents, including invoices, accounting vouchers, and purchase orders
- Filter, analyze, and export data with no dependence on your original SAP environment
Before your IT modernization project begins, we work with you to identify the exact analytics you need for CRA compliance, audit readiness, and internal financial controlling.
Decades after your carve-out, ViewBox gives your team uninterrupted access to these insights, completely independent of your retired SAP system.
Whether your team is facing CRA audits, complex litigation, or internal investigations, ViewBox delivers clearly structured, highly filterable reports. TSX-listed companies use our platform to keep full control of their historical data while reducing maintenance costs and eliminating SAP licensing fees for the retired system.
Rapid Execution & Measurable ROI
Even for complex SAP carve-outs
Retiring an SAP legacy system typically takes one to six months, depending on technical complexity and data volume. We follow a structured, standardized methodology to archive even the largest and most complex SAP landscapes efficiently.
For example, we have migrated enterprise SAP environments with more than 30 terabytes (TB) of data directly into our platform. This transition preserves all critical reports, custom Z reports, and complete documentation, ensuring permanent audit readiness and CRA compliance.
With this approach, TSX-listed companies and global enterprises realize immediate, measurable savings. You eliminate licensing fees for SAP, ECM systems, and operating systems, while significantly reducing infrastructure costs and the strain on your internal resources.

System Analysis for Carve-Outs
The first step of your SAP carve-out is a thorough audit of your existing legacy environment, focused specifically on the data from your divested business units. This analysis shapes your IT modernization roadmap and gives you full transparency on project timelines, required effort, and overall costs.
We evaluate your technical and organizational setup, including:
- Access protocols: how your current SAP landscape is accessed
- Database architecture: the type, structure, and size of your databases
- Reporting scope: the scope and strategic relevance of your existing SAP reports
- System customizations: custom Z reports, specialized interfaces, and unique configurations
- Organizational demarcation: depending on how your divested units are mapped, we segregate and archive your data at both the client and company code levels
To give you full decision-making authority and planning certainty, we deliver these findings as a binding fixed-price proposal. This lets you mitigate litigation risks and maintain CRA compliance throughout the retirement of your legacy system.
SAP
Carve-Out Execution and Legal Compliance
Following the system analysis, we launch your IT modernization and carve-out project. A kickoff meeting aligns your team on all technical and organizational requirements. From that point forward, our experts take full operational responsibility to:
- Establish secure access to your legacy SAP environment
- Extract and isolate all critical carve-out data
- Replicate essential standard reports and your custom Z reports
- Produce complete, audit-ready documentation for every workflow step
- Carry out structured testing and final acceptance phases
Our senior project managers lead the entire transition, so you can stay focused on your core business objectives while keeping the demand on your internal resources to a minimum.
Final Outcomes: SAP Data
Fully Secured and Permanently Actionable
Upon project completion, we migrate all critical tables, legal documents, and key reports from your divested business units directly into ViewBox, our industry-standard platform. You receive:
- Unrestricted data discovery with no dependence on your retired SAP environment
- Secure access for authorized internal staff and external CRA auditors
- Full traceability for all complex reporting, including your core business logic
- Complete, audit-ready documentation covering every project phase
We also log every milestone of your legacy system retirement in our secure Jira ticketing system. From the initial data export to final executive sign-off and the deletion of your source system, we maintain a complete audit trail. This gives you a documented basis for mitigating litigation risks, maintaining CRA compliance, and reducing maintenance costs.
Seamless Integration of ADK Archives
and DART Extracts
When you retire your legacy system, we also secure your specialized historical formats:
- ADK Archives: We ingest historical ADK data into our platform, so you keep permanent access to it for audits and litigation.
- DART Extracts: Our solution natively processes DART extracts, so you can run critical financial evaluations and meet CRA requirements.
ViewBox Enterprise
Use archived data from legacy systems securely and quickly
With ViewBox Enterprise, AvenDATA offers a powerful platform for secure access to data from decommissioned ERP systems and other legacy systems. The solution combines modern search and analysis functions with high performance, comprehensive security mechanisms and intelligent features developed entirely with the help of artificial intelligence.
ViewBox Enterprise ensures that your archived data:
- remains understandable and usable many years after a system has been shut down

- is available in an audit-proof, traceable form for both internal and external audits

One standout feature is automated, rule-based data deletion.

Your historical company data stays available for as long as you need it.
