A drop-in replacement for legacy content servers. Fully compliant, cloud-native, and dramatically cheaper.
Complete implementation of the SAP ArchiveLink HTTP interface. Store, retrieve, search, and manage documents — every operation SAP expects, fully supported.
Store documents on Google Cloud, AWS, Azure, or your own servers. Use your existing cloud infrastructure — no vendor lock-in.
Built-in OCR, full-text indexing, and invoice field extraction. Turn scanned documents into searchable, structured SAP data — automatically, using your cloud provider's AI services.
Certificate-based authentication and cryptographic signature verification. The same enterprise-grade security model SAP uses natively.
Manage multiple document repositories from a single server. Each repository can use a different cloud provider and serve a different SAP system.
Intuitive web-based management console. Configure repositories, manage certificates, and monitor your content server — all from the browser.
Run on-premises, in Docker, or on any major cloud platform. Pre-built deployment configurations for Cloud Run, Kubernetes, ECS, and Azure Container Apps.
BDS Content Server connects directly to your SAP systems via the standard ArchiveLink interface. No custom development, no middleware, no changes to SAP.
Point your SAP ArchiveLink configuration to BDS Content Server. It speaks the same protocol SAP expects — your Basis team configures it like any other content server.
Select where documents are stored: Google Cloud, AWS, Azure, or your own infrastructure. Each repository can use a different storage provider.
SAP users continue working as usual. Documents are automatically stored, retrieved, and managed in the cloud. Zero disruption, zero retraining.
Annual subscription. Self-hosted on your cloud. Free dev/test licenses included with every plan.
