As part of a global divestiture, with over 32 involved countries across five continents, the SolutionXchg team supported a 8 month long effort to separate all business documents of a global specialty chemical business from its parent company. Under strong restrictions regarding possible performance impacts on an ailing Documentum system that suffered almost daily interruptions and with minimal impact on the business operations of the parent company, we separated 12.1 million documents from a parent company archive of 34.5 million. Moving from an on-premise environment to a Cloud environment with limit performance required precise planning and a 24 hour operation to maximize throughput and keep the project on track, having all document migrated in time for a full big-bang go-live.
“Thank you Jochen! What a big effort! You did really great! What a great job from all of you! We are highly satisfied with the Document Migration. And thanks for checking on again. We believe we captured all documents in our migration – no tickets on missing documents, even 6 months later. Thanks again for all your great work!”
Stefan G., Transformation Manager – Logistics
There are multiple real live application scenarios that can be supported by the ACC to enhance a given SAP archiving landscape or to facilitate specific transitory functions during a migration process.
Typical application scenarios:
The Archive Content Connector (ACC) is an HTTP Servlet that connects one SAP system to several SAP ArchiveLink content repositories. In a round robin schema, it attempts to handle a call by forwarding to real repositories, possibly manufactured by different vendors, in sequence. The first successful response is passed back to the caller (usually an SAP system).
Additional features include:
7 months into a 12 months divestiture project, it became clear to the divesture management team, that archived PDF documents, attached to SAP, had to be included in the scope of the SAP system split efforts. SolutionXchg was contacted by KGS and implementation Partner enowa and tasks to jump onto the running project train steaming at full speed towards a November 1st delivery date, with steep penalties attached to any delays. SolutionXchg developed a phased approach based on a primary migration and several delta migrations, closely following the SAP split cycles 2, 3, and 4. Always on standby and working through nights and on weekends, the SolXchg team managed to deliver the data in time, on budget, and with great accuracy.
“Thank you Jochen, and if I do not speak with you again, now that the project comes to an end, I wanted to say, you have been a wonderful partner to work with! You matched with the team very well! I hope our partner enowa can get you into additional opportunities. Thanks again for all your great work!”

“I was chatting with [our mother company’s] IT Global head today and I expressed how impressed I was with the cost of the KGS solutions and your ability to implement it flawlessly. He asked that I share your contact information.”

Coming in at the eleventh hour, 2 month before the planned completion date of the divestiture, SolutionXchg set up a successful PoC within just two weeks and started the migration process. Working long hours in a continuous 24-hour operation, 7.35 million documents were migrated on time and on budget, utilizing the SolutionXchg ACC Whitelisting Tool to protect the source archive and the KGS Proxy to allow immediate access to all documents even while the migration was in process:
“I wanted to let you know, that we are highly satisfied with your work and with the project over all: we never worried about you, we never checked on you, you completed your job, you completed it on time, way ahead of schedule. You can have a reference any time from us!”
