Analysts agree that most organisations are continuing to maintain applications whose function has been replaced or superseded in order to provide access to data in case it is needed again. Application Retirement offers a better approach replacing the ongoing costs of legacy hardware, Software & Support with a monthly service fee to manage, maintain and provide ongoing access to business data.
Holding more data than needed to meet the legal & business requirements is now seen as an increased security risk. Our Application Retirement solution includes the option to use the leading JD Edwards archiving software Redwaire Data Archiving* to ensure only the required data is being kept with the reassurance of full data integrity.
*Redwaire Data Archiving is configured for JD Edwards using the Redwaire JDE Module and the ARCTOOLS® Module for JD Edwards.
