What Cella Information Lifecycle Management is
Cella Information Lifecycle Management extracts selected or complete data from legacy SAP and non-SAP systems into a secure, reportable store, so organizations can retire source systems while keeping their information accessible. Supported sources include SAP ECC and earlier releases, SAP archive files, Oracle E-Business Suite and Fusion, PeopleSoft, JD Edwards, Infor, Baan, Microsoft Dynamics, mainframes and other legacy systems. Reporting options include pre-built reports across SAP modules, a table browser, an SQL command line, and custom and self-service reporting. Users can search decommissioned systems and live systems such as SAP S/4HANA, filtering by module, table and transaction code. Retention features include rules, legal hold, GDPR disposal and deletion approval with dual 4-eye verification. Security features include end-to-end encryption, audit logging, granular access controls and single sign-on. Cella Cloud is a managed microservices service built on SAP HANA; on-premise delivery is available if required. Data can be held across databases and countries, including through federated storage. Pricing is scoped per project based on data volumes. Cella describes its customers as enterprises with legacy data obligations, including organizations in energy, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing and government.
