Application Retirement

Decommissioning applications - eliminate maintenance fees

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.

But when two companies merge, frequently one organization�s IT systems will become the system of record for customer data and transactions. The other systems, however, are often maintained in a non-production capacity for reporting purposes. To maintain these sysetems 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. BTRG helps organizations to design, develop and implement application retirement strategies 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 and so maintains the referential integrity of the data. BTRG then delivers the reporting capabilities required to access this data indefinitely.
