Hyland for SAP S/4HANA

As organizations accelerate their migration to SAP S/4HANA, they face a critical challenge: how to maintain seamless access to business-critical documents while modernizing systems and preparing for AI-powered automation. Hyland for SAP S/4HANA delivers a Fiori-native, OData-compliant integration that connects SAP processes with secure, scalable content services, helping organizations confidently transition from ECC, reduce operational risk and unlock new automation opportunities.

Built on the Hyland Content Innovation Cloud™, this solution gives SAP users the ability to capture, access and manage documents directly within the S/4HANA experience. With cloud-native deployment options, embedded security and support for advanced AI capabilities, including Hyland IDP and Knowledge Discovery, Hyland provides the modern content foundation organizations need to optimize finance, procurement and shared services workflows.

Support for accessing documents stored in Hyland OnBase is planned via Hyland’s Content Federation Service, enabling continuity for existing OnBase customers without disruptive change.

Hyland for SAP S/4HANA integrates intelligent content services directly into the SAP user interface. Users can instantly access documents related to invoices, purchase orders, vendor records, contracts and more without switching screens or relying on external tools.

Key capabilities

• Fiori-native, clean-core-aligned content services integration for a consistent SAP user experience

• OData-compliant and CMIS-supported connectivity for future-proof alignment with SAP architecture

• Direct access, search, capture and attachment of documents stored in Content Innovation Cloud

• End-to-end continuity for critical document-centric processes during ECC-to-S/4HANA migration

This deep, embedded integration helps teams work faster and reduces dependency on legacy SAP GUI and ArchiveLink connections that often break during cloud migrations.

SAP ECC support ends December 31, 2027, driving many organizations to expedite their S/4HANA transitions. Hyland helps reduce migration risks by maintaining continuity for document-driven workflows while eliminating the need for custom workarounds or manual attachments.

Hyland supports your migration by:

• Maintaining access to historical and active documents without rework or disruption

• Providing a modern alternative to legacy ArchiveLink integrations

• Initial support for Content Innovation Cloud, with planned support for accessing documents stored in OnBase via Hyland’s Content Federation Service, for maximum deployment flexibility

• Reducing IT complexity with low-code configuration and rapid deployment options

Once OnBase connectivity is enabled through Content Federation Service, existing OnBase customers will be able to modernize their SAP environment without sacrificing the stability or compliance they rely on. New SAP customers, on the other hand, gain a scalable, SaaS-based content foundation built for long-term growth using Content Innovation Cloud.
