ESCC - RP - MBOS Data Archiving Solution

Tender description

East Sussex County Council (ESCC) mobilised the Modernising Back Office Systems (MBOS) programme to replace the existing SAP ERP system at ESCC, which is hosted in the Council's data centres. That procurement activity has now completed and go-live of the replacement Oracle ERP system is planned for April 2023. As part of the Modernising Back Office Systems (MBOS) programme ESCC is considering options for the archiving of historic data held in the existing SAP ERP system, which will be retained but not migrated to the new Oracle ERP system. An archiving solution will be required for a one-off migration of this data in advance of the decommissioning of the existing SAP ERP system. The archived data will then be required to be fully accessible to the Council for reporting purposes and deleted over time in line with Council data retention policies. The purpose of this RFI is to seek information about suppliers' available solutions to meet this SAP data archiving requirement, their indicative costs, implementation approaches and required timescales to inform the Council's planning.
