Arcana Solutions
The Complete Native Cloud Data Archive Solution

A seismic shift in SAP® has reshaped the DNA of business operations, centralizing data management and facilitating the transition of on-premise models to cloud-based architecture. Bound by hardware limitations and hefty maintenance costs, companies seek solutions where data subject to retention can be stored easily and securely.

Arcana Solutions empowers businesses with an easy-to-use, cloud-native archiving solution that streamlines document archiving and retrieval.

Arcana specializes in audit-proof data archiving using Arcana Cloud Archive. This solution is the first complete native cloud archive on the market that stores data and documents subject to retention requirements securely in the cloud.

“Our solution enables clients to move in both directions, upscaling during peak hours and downscaling to minimum resources when required,” says Bernard Morell, founder and CEO.

Leveraging the scalability of cloud infrastructure, the solution offers clients the flexibility to run operations at any preferred capacity, in contrast to most solutions that only permit upscaling. By adjusting resources according to demand during peak times, Arcana sustainably optimizes the cost structure and generates the smallest IT footprint in the market. Using the SAP ArchiveLink® and Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) interface, businesses can seamlessly incorporate the Arcana Cloud Archive into their current or prospective IT infrastructure.

It also addresses the intricate challenges of SAP implementation. Clients often have concerns about integrating solutions into their SAP system. Previously, inclusion with SAP systems involved a single core product, S/4HANA®. The introduction of the middleware component—Business Technology Platform (BTP)—has changed the way integrations are implemented across different SAP products.

The real-world impact of Arcana Cloud Archive echoes across diverse industries, transcending vertical barriers. From public sector entities to retail giants, Arcana’s clientele encompasses a broad spectrum, underlining the universal demand for robust archiving solutions in the digital age. Arcana solution, is at the moment, the only archiving vendor for SAP S/4HANA public cloud edition in Germany, securing several contracts with S/4HANA public cloud edition clients.

To integrate the Arcana Cloud Archive into client applications, Arcana follows a simple onboarding process. Users can begin by configuring the cloud archive according to their specific needs, including the storage size, performance, location, service and additional options such as security add-ons. Next, the REST API specification is integrated into the master application, allowing for standalone integration. Once the cloud archive is linked to the application, data and documents are archived automatically based on user-defined rules.

An example that showcases the platform’s impact involves a client previously spending a significant amount of money to operate their archiving solution on-premise. Through Arcana’s cloud-native model, the client transitioned to a pay-per-use framework, where they had to pay fewer euros annually. The usage of minimum IT resources in the cloud infrastructure resulted in additional efficiency.
