Maintaining live data and applications in old or legacy systems can be an expensive excercise. For one thing, old systems or old versions of systems are rarely supported by providers. The cost of internally supporting these systems 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 quite costly and a burden to an organisations IT department.

Archiving is the obvious solution. But what about the value hidden inside that data, and how will that disrupt operations and productivity across the organisation? Sometimes organisations have inflexible security or maintenance protocols forcing legacy systems to never be decommissioned. 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.
