Connect SAP to Your Enterprise Content Repository
Content Synergy is an SAP ArchiveLink connector that connects SAP with external content repositories such as Microsoft SharePoint Online, Azure Blob Storage, and Amazon S3.
It enables SAP document archiving and retrieval through the ArchiveLink framework while allowing customers to manage their own SAP, repository, infrastructure, and integration environments.
The Role of SAP ArchiveLink
The Standard Connection Between SAP and External Content Repositories
SAP ArchiveLink provides the standard framework for connecting SAP applications with external content repositories.
ArchiveLink does not serve as the physical storage location for the document. Instead, it provides the connection that allows SAP to communicate with the configured external repository.
