Legacy Computer Systems
Legacy computer systems have been a persistent challenge for many organizations, including the ever-evolving Acme Corporation. As technology continues to advance at a rapid pace, these outdated systems can hinder progress, leading to inefficiencies and bottlenecks in daily operations. For Sandeep, a guest blogger with a passion for AI and machine learning, finding solutions to legacy computer systems has been a top priority.
In a world where digital transformation is key to staying competitive, legacy computer systems can hold businesses back. Imagine the frustration of trying to integrate new technologies or processes into an outdated system that simply can’t keep up. This is where Solix comes in as a game-changer, offering massive cost-saving solutions for businesses big and small.
One scenario where Solix’s approach could be beneficial is in the decommissioning of legacy applications. Cost savings from decommissioning inactive applications could be as easy as walking through the data center and picking up one-hundred-dollar bills. A study by the Compliance, Governance, and Oversight Council revealed that the average annual savings for such decommissioning efforts could be significant, reaching up to $120,000 for larger enterprise-class applications.
By leveraging Solix’s SolixCloud Application Retirement and Decommissioning Service, organizations can rationalize their application portfolio and reduce infrastructure costs. Legacy applications not only consume valuable data center resources but also pose data governance and compliance risks. SolixCloud’s modern, SaaS-based approach helps transition away from complex legacy application management to more efficient alternatives, providing universal access to retired data through text search, legacy reports, and ad-hoc query.
- Ability to retire and decommission legacy applications at a low, fixed monthly cost
- Support for structured, unstructured, and semi-structured data
- Compliance with policy-based data retention and legal hold requirements
- Application-specific accelerators and connectors for various platforms
- Elimination of maintenance, infrastructure, and licensing costs associated with legacy applications
In addition to application retirement, Solix offers enterprise archiving services that provide fully managed, compliant archive repositories for less-active enterprise data and retirement of legacy applications. This centralized data governance and administration solution helps improve application performance, optimize infrastructure, manage data growth, and meet compliance objectives.
Through advanced Information Lifecycle Management (ILM), organizations can handle the complex regulatory landscape, retain data only as long as required by law, and achieve compliance objectives with ease. Solix’s eDiscovery and legal hold features enable compliance and legal professionals to quickly identify and retrieve records for regulatory requests, as well as place legal holds on records of interest to comply with legal proceedings.
With Solix’s metadata management framework, organizations can explore their enterprise data landscape, understand the data lifecycle, establish consistent descriptions and business context for data, and generate comprehensive reports for all structured data. Solix also offers connectivity options through ODBC, JDBC, SQL access, REST API, legacy reports, and custom and ad-hoc reports, making data management and analysis seamless and efficient.
