India’s updated financial record-keeping requirements under the Companies (Accounts) Rules have created new data residency obligations for global organizations operating in the country. These regulations require financial data to be backed up daily and stored on servers physically located within India, a challenge for companies whose SAP landscapes are hosted in Europe or the United States. In this session, HARMAN shares how it met these requirements without re-architecting its global SAP environment or relying on costly full-system backups. With a large, globally distributed SAP footprint, HARMAN needed a way to isolate and store only the India-relevant financial data required for compliance while avoiding excessive storage growth, network strain, and production impact. Using EPI-USE Labs’ Data Sync Manager, HARMAN implemented a selective, automated approach that extracts only the required company code data and stores it locally in India. This approach delivered massive storage savings, significantly shrinking the compliance-related backup footprint while also cutting backup runtimes by nearly 90% and eliminating manual effort, all within a secure and auditable process. Attendees will gain insight into how HARMAN turned a regulatory requirement into a scalable SAP data strategy that balances compliance, cost control, and operational stability.
