DATA ARCHIVAL
Huge amounts of rarely used and out of date data are consuming your ERP system. You feel like a pack rat. There is no way you can ask management for additional dollars to put towards another system or upgrade the current hardware. There must be an easier way to absolve the data and reduce costs at the same time. Archiving is a great solution but you need help identifying what to archive, strategies for determining how and help achieving this following best practices.
Utopia provides strategy, architecture design and implementation for full historic data archiving solutions. We take into account both functional and technical issues involved in the archiving strategy: database growth technical analysis, business processes and object growth analysis, data retention planning, identification of archiving objects and strategy.
During data migrations, master data, balances and open transactions are moved from legacy systems to new systems. Now that the data has been migrated to its new home what should be done with the legacy system(s)? Keeping it operational is expensive. After the migration takes place it’s time to lay the old legacy system to rest. All too often the question is raised, “What do I do with all the closed transactions?” No one has had a good concrete answer until now. Utopia completes the enterprise data lifecycle by providing the ability to migrate closed transactions as archived files and makes them available to new systems, just as though they had been archived from that system.
Don’t let historical data bog your system down or your budget. Reduce the amount of data that you keep in your system and control the growth of the data for the long term. Get the necessary environment that meets your business needs and satisfies your IT and legal requirements! Let us show you how!
