The company used docuflow for SAP to connect SAP ECC and Ariba with Microsoft 365 SharePoint Online, migrate nearly eight million documents, and replace a legacy OpenText archive without disrupting business operations.
The company had relied on an on-premises OpenText archive for millions of documents generated by SAP ECC finance and billing processes and Ariba procure-to-pay workflows. As the platform approached decommissioning, the organization needed a cloud-native replacement without disrupting business-critical SAP operations.
Manual processes and fragmented repositories made finance and procurement content harder to govern and maintain.
The OpenText environment carried infrastructure and licensing dependencies the company wanted to retire.
Metadata, retention, and content-routing practices needed to become more consistent across SAP ECC and Ariba.
The replacement had to preserve familiar SAP workflows while creating a foundation aligned with future SAP S/4HANA modernization.
docuflow connected SAP ECC and Ariba directly with Microsoft 365 SharePoint Online. SAP-generated content now routes automatically into governed cloud storage, where metadata, version control, and lifecycle policies can be applied consistently while users continue working from familiar SAP interfaces.
Finance and procurement users create and access business content.
SAP content is stored in one governed Microsoft 365 repository.
SAP ECC and Ariba content was brought into a single governed SharePoint Online repository.
SAP-generated documents began routing automatically into Microsoft 365 with standardized metadata.
Nearly eight million OpenText-managed documents were transferred with 99.9% accuracy.
Existing SAP user workflows remained intact throughout the migration, with zero business disruption.
The company retired its OpenText dependency and established a Microsoft 365 content architecture that connects directly with SAP ECC and Ariba while supporting governance, automation, and future SAP modernization.
SAP ECC and Ariba content now resides in one governed SharePoint Online repository.
Users continue to create, retrieve, and manage documents from familiar ECC and Ariba interfaces.
Routing, metadata enrichment, version control, and lifecycle management replaced manual content-management tasks.
Retiring OpenText reduced licensing, infrastructure, and maintenance complexity.
The SAP and Microsoft 365 architecture provides a scalable content foundation for continued modernization.
See how docuflow can help replace legacy content platforms, connect SAP with SharePoint Online, automate metadata and routing, and establish a scalable foundation for SAP modernization.
