Avoiding operational disruption when archiving
The cost of maintaining live data and applications in old or legacy systems needs to be continually assessed. The continued support and hardware costs need to be weighed against the ongoing value of keeping those systems alive. Unnecessarily maintaining data, software licenses and hardware costs for multiple systems for long retention periods can be a burden to an organisation.
Archiving is the obvious solution. But when and how you take that step ofen raises concerns over disruption to operations and productivity. Sometimes organisations have inflexible security or maintenance protocols to deal with. Other times, leadership or IT will continually raise flags that force you to continue to use these obsolete systems indefinitely. As a result, data often remains online in expensive and obsolete applications, or worse, is taken completely offline where its only value is in retention compliance or legal hold.
There is another option.
