Decommission SAP. Retain Your Data.
Maintain total data intelligence: with AvenDATA.

From R/3 and ECC 6.0 to HANA: We empower you to execute legacy system retirement for SAP platforms across every generation and industry vertical, including specialized Bank Analyzer and IS U modules. Leverage our proven solution to streamline your IT modernization while ensuring ironclad audit readiness for TSX listed companies and global enterprises.

The Challenge

Many global enterprises face a massive financial drain: legacy SAP systems continue to rack up significant costs long after they have lost their operational value. The reason: You must retain this data to guarantee strict regulatory compliance and permanent audit readiness.
This creates a cycle of critical enterprise risks:
  • Obsolete Infrastructure requiring constant, expensive maintenance or total hardware replacement
  • Escalating Service Contracts with external vendors that eat into your bottom line
  • Stagnant IT Resources trapped in legacy maintenance rather than driving your IT modernization
  • Heightened Security Vulnerabilities triggered by unsupported, end of life software
  • Prohibitive Complexity and zero scalability within your aging system landscape
The result: Year after year, TSX listed companies pay exorbitant fees for systems that deliver zero operational ROI. You are left with one primary outcome: massive, unnecessary overhead.
