ERP Modernisation - SAP ECC to S/4HANA & Oracle to Cloud

Challenge

Legacy ERP platforms must remain operational throughout and after system migration projects because historical financial records, production data, and procurement histories continue to be required for audits, reconciliation, and operational reference. This dual-system maintenance significantly increases cost and complexity.

Solution

SMARCK archives ERP tables, financial postings, materials management data, batch histories, and associated documents in a centralised, compliant repository - enabling complete retirement of legacy ERP environments post-migration.

Business Value

Organisations achieve full ERP decommissioning on schedule, eliminating dual-system maintenance costs and licensing fees while retaining structured, searchable access to all historical records throughout and beyond the migration period.

Compliance & Quality Record Retention

Challenge

Manufacturers are required to retain quality assurance, safety, and production records for extended periods to meet compliance obligations under ISO standards, SOX, FDA regulations, and OSHA requirements. Maintaining these records in active operational systems imposes unnecessary performance and cost burdens.

Solution

SMARCK stores quality and compliance records with end-to-end audit trails, immutable storage, and structured access controls - ensuring records are preserved accurately and remain readily retrievable for internal and external audits.

Business Value

Audit response times are significantly reduced, compliance risk is lowered, and the risk of non-compliance penalties is mitigated. Quality teams can retrieve historical records on demand with full traceability and version integrity.

Product & Engineering Data Archival

01

Challenge

Product Lifecycle Management systems accumulate years of engineering designs, bill of materials, change logs, and ECO/ECN records that cannot be deleted but degrade system performance and increase storage costs over time.

02

Solution

SMARCK archives engineering documents, CAD files, technical specifications, and ECO/ECN records with rich metadata and full-text search - offloading historical data from active PLM environments without compromising accessibility.

03

Business Value

Engineers can retrieve historical designs and change records instantly without burdening production PLM systems. Storage costs are reduced, system performance improves, and intellectual property is preserved in a secure, structured archive.
