Application Retirement and Decommissioning

The economic downturn has battered the shareprice of nearly every company. As a result, large, financially stable corporations are pursuing aggresive acquisition strategies and snapping up smaller industry peers at attractive prices.

When two companies merge only one organization's IT systems typically become the system of record for customer data and transactions. The other systems are frequently maintained in a non-production capacity for reporting purposes. To maintain them the organization must incur the costs necessary to support the application including hardware, licensing and technical staff. These costs not only add up quickly, but recur year after year.

To eliminate these costs yet preserve access to the data; organization's need an Application Retirement Strategy. We can help you design, develop and implement an application retirement strategy by leveraging the capabilities of IBM's Optim™ product.

We've helped a wide variety of organizations reduce or completely eliminate the costs associated with non-production systems by performing a complete data archiving project. Optim™ archives complete business objects, maintainging the referential integrity of the data. BTRG then delivers the reporting capabilities required to access this data indefinitely.
