Case Study: Leading Global Specialty Chemicals Company achieves streamlined SAP document management and reduced SAP server memory usage with Gimmal Link Enterprise (Gimmal)

Streamlining Document Management with Gimmal Link Enterprise for a Leading Specialty Chemicals Company

Leading Global Company, a multinational specialty chemicals firm, was modernizing its IT landscape with an SAP S/4HANA rollout and needed to ensure compliant, efficient document management across global sites. Their challenges included avoiding large document volumes on the SAP HANA database, integrating with their Microsoft Azure/SharePoint environment, supporting SAP Fiori workflows, and securing a reliable post‑implementation support model. They selected Gimmal and its Gimmal Link Enterprise solution to address these needs.

Gimmal implemented Link Enterprise to centralize capture and storage of 8–10 key document types, automatically transfer metadata from SAP to SharePoint, offload documents from the SAP system, and adapt the solution to SAP Fiori workflows. As a result, Gimmal helped the company archive many documents per day to SharePoint (including billing records and certificates of analysis), significantly reduce SAP database consumption, improve audit compliance and retrieval, and streamline document workflows—with Gimmal providing structured project management and flexible, ongoing support.
