The SEAL Content Library Connector for SAP is designed to integrate seamlessly with SAP systems, providing a robust and scalable solution for content management. By leveraging SEAL's powerful content management capabilities, businesses can streamline their SAP HANA migrations, reduce infrastructure costs, and enhance overall efficiency.

Streamlined SAP HANA Migration

• Mandatory Content Archiving: Prior to migrating to SAP HANA, archiving SAP content is essential. SEAL ensures efficient and secure content archiving, facilitating a smoother migration process.
• Streamlined Migration Process: Utilizing an external content server like SEAL can streamline the migration to SAP S/4HANA, thereby reducing migration costs and risks.
• Reduction in Infrastructure Costs: Utilizing SEAL as an external content server can significantly lower SAP Hana infrastructure costs. This is because, instead of managing content on the more expensive SAP Hana infrastructure, the external content server utilizes "normal" IT infrastructure, leading to cost savings.
• Simplifying and Accelerating Business Processes: The use of a modern content services platform like SEAL, with powerful, low-code document automation features, connected (2-ways) with SAP can help to accelerate document-centric business processes digitalization and automation.

Enhanced Content Accessibility

• Access for Non-SAP Users: SEAL allows non-SAP users to access valuable business content created in SAP (and other enterprise applications), fostering better collaboration and data utilization across departments.
• Simplified Business Processes: With SEAL's low-code document automation features, document-centric business processes are digitized and automated, accelerating workflows.

Improved Performance

• Optimized Application Performance: SEAL helps to manage unstructured content outside of SAP databases, preventing performance degradation as data volumes increase.
• Efficient Active Archiving: SEAL archives old data and offloads documents to an external content repository, keeping SAP table sizes manageable and improving backup and recovery times. Despite being archived externally, this data remains easily accessible for both SAP and non-SAP users.

Unified Content Management

• Single Accessible Repository: SEAL consolidates content from various applications into a single repository, ensuring that data is accessible to both SAP and non-SAP users.
• Cross-System Integration: SEAL creates new objects in SAP Business Object Repository (BOR) and links existing SEAL documents, providing a unified view of content across systems.

Regulatory Compliance

• Comprehensive Information Governance: SEAL supports GDPR compliance, electronic financial audit requirements, and legal hold policies, ensuring that businesses meet all regulatory standards.
• Controlled Access and Retention: SEAL enables the application of retention policies and controlled disposal, maintaining document lifecycle governance.

SEAL provides a secure and scalable external content server for SAP, a Unified Content Repository for SAP and other line of business applications (Salesforce, Microsoft, Oracle, etc.) with powerful but simple user interface for non-IT / business users.

With SEAL Content Library for SAP we deliver a SAP connector using SAP standard technologies (HTTP Content Server & SAP JCO). SEAL uses SAP RFC protocol to call SAP functions and retrieve business objects attributes for each archived/linked document

1. Archive SAP data files (ADK files) from any SAP business suite application - in order to reduce SAP database footprint, improve the overall performance and free up additional disk space on the SAP system;
2. Unstructured Content Offloading – Active Archiving for SAP business documents and associated metadata (business objects attributes for each archived/linked document);
3. Archive SAP Print Lists to reduce SAP footprint while cutting cost;
4. Enable SAP users to easily access and display from SAP user interface documents that are now stored in SEAL repository extending and boosting the value of standard SAP data archiving;
5. Enable non-SAP users to access, view and share documents directly from SEAL user interface for improved user experience.
6. Cross-systems unified content management - create new objects in SAP BOR and link existing SEAL documents to BOR objects using a dedicated SAP client interface (Java API that can be used from SEAL jobs, plugins or BPM workflow service tasks).

1. Support SAP HANA Migration: Streamline migration processes and reduce associated costs.
2. Reduce Costs and SAP Footprint: Optimize storage and performance by offloading content management.
3. Boost Productivity: Enhance user experience by integrating SEAL with familiar SAP interfaces and empowering non-SAP users to utilize existing data.
4. Ensure Compliance: Maintain legal and regulatory compliance with robust information governance.
5. Decrease IT Burden: Improve backup and recovery times, and simplify SAP upgrades.
