Archiving of Historical ERP Systems

Get Rid of Old Systems but Keep the Data

Data from ERP systems, which are no longer used as the primary systems, must be maintained for the purpose of services and also due to legislative requirements.  What to do when the ERP system is no longer supported by its manufacturer or when the costs of its operation become unreasonable? A solution can be seen in data archiving, which will ensure compliance with legislation and provide access to historic data for example through the new ERP environment.

Archiving of historic data from ERP systems combines the benefits of long-term archiving and Document Management.  The process of historic ERP data archiving consists of the following main parts:

  • analysis of needs for historic data availability
  • data export, its archiving and validation
  • data classification into defined Document Management structures

If the above-mentioned methodology is utilized, the historic data remains logically sorted and securely archived within the process in accordance with the customer’s needs.  Old ERP systems can be thus disposed of.

Solution Characteristics:

  • master data migration and archiving of selected data from (even multiple) historic ERP systems
  • maintaining access to data in accordance with the requirements specified by the company and by legislation (audits)
  • application architecture and infrastructure unification
  • simplified user access to selected data from historic ERP
  • limited risk of data loss
  • long-term financial savings (salary and operating costs relating to historic systems administration)
