Retiring of legacy systems

Retiring of legacy systems

Organizations often face high operational costs when maintaining legacy systems, which can be expensive to support because of outdated hardware, limited vendor support, and increasing security vulnerabilities. These systems may also rely on platforms that no longer meet modern security and compliance standards.

However, legal retention periods for business data often delay the retirement of these systems, forcing companies to maintain them longer than desired.

Archive Central provides a modern data management platform designed to address these challenges. By securely archiving critical business data in the cloud, organizations can decommission legacy systems without losing access to important records. Our platform ensures compliance with data retention regulations, offers advanced search and retrieval capabilities, and reduces the risks associated with obsolete technologies. This leads to significant cost savings, improved data governance and enhanced operational efficiency.

Right-sizing of ERP systems

Right-sizing of ERP systems

As businesses grow, their Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems accumulate vast amounts of data, leading to performance degradation, an increase in storage costs, and complex data management challenges. Organizations need solutions to control and limit data growth, ensuring their ERP environments remain agile and cost-effective.

Archive Central addresses these needs by providing a secure, scalable repository where businesses can offload historical data and documents that are no longer required for daily operations. This data archiving process helps optimize ERP performance, reduce infrastructure costs, and simplify system upgrades or migrations as part of broader digital transformation initiatives. With Archive Central, businesses can maintain compliance and streamline data management, while focusing on leveraging their ERP systems for strategic growth.

Business transformation

Business transformation

Mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures often result in complex data management requirements. Organizations involved in these transactions must retain specific datasets for regulatory compliance, legal obligations, and governance purposes. Ensuring secure, controlled access to this data across different entities can be challenging.

Archive Central offers a robust solution for managing data during business transformations. Our platform enables organizations to securely archive and share relevant master and transactional data with authorized parties, ensuring compliance with industry regulations and corporate governance policies. With granular access controls, audit trails, and advanced data protection features, Archive Central supports seamless data transitions while maintaining the integrity and security of sensitive information.

Data privacy compliance

Compliance with data privacy laws, and data sovereignty

In today's regulatory landscape, businesses face increasing requirements to comply with  global and local data privacy laws, which often mandate that certain data must reside within specific geographic boundaries.

For example, Indian financial regulations require that financial data be stored and processed on servers located within India, with daily data synchronization to ensure compliance.

Archive Central is designed to support these data sovereignty requirements effectively. Our platform can be hosted in specific geographic regions, including India, to meet local compliance mandates. This flexibility allows organizations to archive sensitive data securely while ensuring adherence to regional data residency laws. Archive Central facilitates seamless data synchronization, robust security measures, and comprehensive compliance reporting, making it an ideal solution for businesses operating in multiple jurisdictions with stringent data localization requirements.

For organizations using SAP systems, Archive Central simplifies the data archiving process through seamless integration with the SAP Archive Extractor. This extractor leverages the robust Data Sync Manager™ SAP object model, meticulously mapped by EPI-USE Labs over the past 25+ years. This ensures that data is coherently exported, maintaining the integrity of relationships and links between complex data structures, including the de-clustering of tables and extraction of related unstructured data that was uploaded as attachments.

Our automated analysis tools scan your SAP environment, identifying the optimal data sets for archiving, while ensuring compliance with data retention policies. This process reduces manual effort, minimizes errors, and accelerates data extraction.
