Almatis, a global leader in alumina manufacturing, set out to optimize its SAP landscape for scalable growth. With docuflow for SAP, Almatis moved legacy content to SharePoint Online, reduced its SAP database size by 40%, and improved access to business documents.
Almatis needed a more scalable way to manage historical SAP content while making business documents easier for employees to find and retrieve.
The SAP ECC database carried a growing volume of legacy data and required ongoing maintenance.
Business documents were scattered across local drives and email servers.
Employees experienced delays when retrieving critical business documents.
Almatis implemented docuflow to move historical content out of SAP ECC and into SharePoint Online. The solution supported SAP content archiving, metadata synchronization, centralized document access, and Outlook integration for sending email attachments directly to SAP with the appropriate metadata.
