SAP Content Server Professional Services
We install and configure SAP Content Server and integrate it with Tungsten (formerly Kofax) Capture or TotalAgility for scanning and capturing inbound documents. We then tailor the solution to your business needs, supporting both late (barcode) and early (workflow) archiving. Our services also include upgrades and migrations of existing Content Servers to new hardware, OS, and MaxDB database versions.
SAP Content Server – You Already Own It!
Verbella has been opening the eyes of SAP customers for more than two decades to one of the greatest untapped, unrealized, and certainly one of the most underutilized pieces of software that all SAP customers already own—the SAP Content Server!
Supported by SAP – Included in your Maintenance
The SAP Content Server is completely supported by SAP and available to all SAP customers – ‘Free of charge’. Store ‘Office Attachments’ instead of storing them in their default location – the SAP Database. It can also be used to store outgoing documents, PrintList, DaRT Files, and ADK files without any additional third-party software. However, with the use of Tungsten TotalAgility platform, the SAP Content Server can store Scanned documents or ‘Incoming’ documents. The SAP GUI will display all the documents archived.
The SAP Content Server along with Tungsten TotalAgility or Capture is as reliable and as robust as any expensive main-stream third-party imaging and archiving solution.
Frequently Asked Questions
SAP Content Server
What is the SAP Content Server?
The SAP Content Server is a stand-alone component / server provided by SAP in which documents of any format can be stored. The documents are typically stored in one or more MaxDB, instances, or the file system. The SAP Content Server is usually run on Windows, but it can also be installed on Unix or Linux OS.

How can I use the SAP Content Server to scan documents?
In order to scan in documents, you would need a scanning application with an SAP ArchiveLink interface. Our preference here at Verbella is to use Tungsten (formerly Kofax) Capture with the Verbella Tungsten Automation Export Connector – SAP. Tungsten Capture is used to operate the scanner and capture documents, while the export connector is used to integrate with SAP via SAP ArchiveLink and supports all the standard archiving scenarios out of the box.
How long does a typical imaging project using the SAP Content Server take to complete?
It averages about 2-3 weeks. A typical imaging project will require some analysis work in order to gather the document and scanning requirements. Then the installation of the SAP Content Server, and Tungsten Automation (formerly Kofax) Server/Clients and installation of a scanner with Tungsten VRS. Finally, some SAP configuration is done in order to proto-type document imaging scenario.
Our users are storing attachments using the GOS and storing the files on the SAP Database. Can I store them on the SAP Content Server?
Yes, this is a very common practice by redirecting the attachments from being stored on the SAP database, to the SAP Content Server. By doing so you’re ultimately saving space and increasing performance of the SAP system.
What type of Scanners are supported? Can we use our existing Scanner or MFP Device?
In most case any scanner using ISIS drivers could be used, we recommend and resell Fujitsu scanners. For lower a lower volume of documents, MFP’s (Multi-Functional Printers) could also be used.
