Case Study: Delphi achieves rapid self-service SAP data retrieval and storage cost savings with OpenText Data Archiving for SAP Solutions

Automotive Parts Manufacturer Transforms Data Archiving with OpenText

Delphi, a global automotive parts manufacturer, was struggling with rapidly growing SAP data volumes that outpaced its file-system/SQL archiving approach. Manual, multi-team retrievals often took weeks, degrading system performance, increasing IT overhead, and discouraging business users from archiving—causing the live database to balloon.

Delphi implemented OpenText Data Archiving for SAP Solutions (with Archive Server and SAP’s DaRT), enabling integrated, secure long-term storage and direct retrieval from the SAP UI. The result: business users access archived data in minutes without IT intervention, faster archiving and compression that shrinks Tier‑1 storage and costs, improved audit responsiveness and compliance, and the ability to reduce online retention windows.
