Simplify SAP Application Retirement / Decommissioning

Applications outlive their usefulness and turn into "legacy apps" as organizations expand, merge, consolidate and modernize. Legacy SAP applications often contain valuable data required for future business reporting, audit, or compliance purposes and cannot be deleted. However, such legacy SAP applications consume a sizable portion of IT budgets in the form of expensive infrastructure, software licenses, personnel, and maintenance resources. SOLIXCloud and Solix Retirement Factory services offer a potent alternative in the form of SAP Application decommissioning. By decommissioning legacy SAP applications to low-cost cloud archive, organizations can realize significant savings and maintain self-service access to archived data, along with data retention and compliance benefits.

Key Reasons to Decommission Legacy SAP® Systems

Cost Savings and Better Resource Utilization

Cost Savings and Better Resource Utilization

Retiring legacy applications help free up expensive SAP hardware resources and software licenses, allowing organizations to allocate these resources to more strategic initiatives. It also helps eliminate costs associated with backups, disaster recovery, security patching, and support, all of which contribute to significant cost savings.

Improved Compliance & Security

Improved Compliance & Security

Legacy applications often run on unsupported hardware, software, and database components and may contain vulnerabilities that can be exploited by cybercriminals. Additionally, dependency on unreliable software that lacks IT support and expertise creates data integrity, reliability, and compliance challenges. SOLIXCloud application retirement helps by moving the data to a reliable, secure, and always-on archival environment with advanced data retention, legal hold, and privacy capabilities, eliminating all security and compliance risks associated with legacy applications.

Improved Compliance & Security
Application Portfolio Rationalization

Application Portfolio Rationalization

Application modernization, consolidation, and mergers and acquisitions often lead to multiple applications that are either redundant or obsolete. With SOLIXCloud, organizations can rationalize their application portfolio by retiring legacy and redundant SAP and non-SAP applications to a low-cost cloud archive. The benefits include cost savings, improved compliance, agility & flexibility, reduced complexity, and better alignment with business goals.

Continued Access to Archived SAP Data

Continued Access to Legacy Data

Active access to archive data throughout its existence is essential for business and compliance teams. SOLIXCloud provides authorized users real-time access to the archived data independent of the source system via powerful text search, custom reports, forms, and print report archiving, enables critical application reports to be tagged, indexed, and made searchable in SOLIXCloud. Additionally, archived data is available for access from third-party BI tools for analysis and reporting.

Continued Access to Archived SAP Data

Key Capabilities

  • Cloud data management to archive all data and legacy applications

    SOLIXCloud Enterprise Archiving provides a fully managed, cloud-scale, compliant archive repository for less-active enterprise data (structured, semi-structured and unstructured) and retirement of legacy applications

    • Centralized data governance and administration
    • Improve application performance and optimize infrastructure
    • Manage data growth and reduce costs
    • Meet compliance objectives
    • Supports ERP, CRM, Custom Apps, Mainframes, File servers, IOT, Email, Documents, Social and Log data
  • Achieve compliance objectives with policy-based data retention

    Through advanced Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) organizations handle the complex regulatory landscape and minimizes risks of accidental data deletion from the archive.

    • Retain data only as long as required by law
    • Automatic or manual purge with prior notification
    • Custom rules engine
    • Standard retention plans including Fair Labor Standards Act, Bank Secrecy Act, Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA), General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA)
  • eDiscovery & Legal Hold

    Compliance and legal professionals can quickly identify and retrieve records to meet data requests from regulatory agencies and law enforcement. Further, they can place legal holds on records of interest to ensure such data is retained beyond the pre-defined data retention periods to comply with legal proceedings.

    • Supports multiple cases
    • Robust text search
    • Structured and Adhoc reporting
  • Print Report Archiving

    The Solix Virtual Printer feature enables users to print important legacy application reports and have them ingested into SOLIXCloud Enterprise Archiving. These reports are denormalized, indexed and tagged for easy text search and retrieval by end-users.

  • Solix Search provides comprehensive text search, structured reports and adhoc queries

    Text search provides simplified user access to enterprise business records (EBR) which are denormalized views of a specific business function such as invoicing. EBR's organize data into templates (i.e. invoices, customer data, spreadsheets, and other documents) for easy self-service access to complex business processes.

  • Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) is a best practice for managing data throughout its lifecycle

    ILM solutions are intended to improve the performance of enterprise applications, reduce infrastructure costs and provide governance, risk and compliance frameworks for enterprise data. With ILM, organizations are able to optimize their infrastructure with a tiered enterprise data management strategy, and establish a control framework for proper data governance and compliance.

    Industry analysts point out that up to 80% of data is not current, and the value of data declines dramatically over time. ILM classifies data at creation and moves data across infrastructure tiers based on business rules and retention policies. ILM ensures that only current, active data is consuming valuable tier one compute and storage resources, and that all data is governed by compliance policy throughout its lifecycle.
