In Q1 2026, SAP modernization strategies are increasingly focused on data reduction, automation optimization, and lifecycle planning. As organizations move deeper into 2026 planning cycles, SAP teams are balancing modernization, automation, and cost control.
This quarter, we’re focused on helping customers modernize strategically — without carrying unnecessary complexity forward.
Below are key areas we’re discussing with customers right now, including S/4HANA preparation, AP automation strategy, Tungsten end-of-support planning, and upcoming industry events.
Smarter S/4HANA Preparation Starts with Archiving
Migrating to S/4HANA is more than a technical upgrade — it’s a strategic opportunity to simplify your landscape. One of the most impactful decisions organizations can make is evaluating what historical data truly needs to move forward.
SAP data archiving before S/4HANA migration can:
Reduce database size and infrastructure costs
Shorten migration timelines
Lower overall project risk
Preserve secure access to historical data for reporting and compliance
We recently published a detailed guide outlining strategy and best practices for approaching archiving before migration.

SAP Data Archiving Before S/4HANA Migration
AP Automation Strategy: Fit Over Complexity
OpenText VIM is powerful — but not every SAP environment requires enterprise-level complexity.
For customers seeking a right-sized solution, our Invoice Tracking Center (ITC) delivers practical AP automation directly inside SAP, without platform bloat.
ITC helps SAP teams:
Streamline invoice workflows
Improve visibility and control
Accelerate user adoption
Reduce long-term maintenance complexity
OpenText VIM Services and Optimization
For customers already running OpenText VIM, 2026 is an ideal time to evaluate optimization opportunities.
We’re helping organizations:
Improve workflow performance
Tighten controls and reporting
Align VIM with evolving business requirements
Support S/4HANA preparation initiatives
If VIM is the right platform for your environment, ensuring it delivers measurable value is key.
Broader SAP Solutions & Modernization Support
Beyond individual products, many of our customer conversations center around broader SAP modernization strategy.
This includes:
Archiving and data reduction
Content repository integration
S/4HANA preparation and migration support
Intelligent document process automation
Modernization succeeds when complexity is reduced — not relocated.
Important Reminder: Tungsten Capture & Transformation End-of-Support
Earlier this year, we notified customers that Tungsten Automation (formerly Kofax) is end-of-supporting certain versions of Capture and Transformation products.
If your organization is currently running these solutions, 2026 becomes a decision window.
Key considerations include:
Maintenance cost increases for EOS versions
Upgrade or “Move Up” options to TotalAgility
Long-term automation roadmap alignment
We encourage customers to review version levels and plan proactively.
