database

Enterprise class business applications require multiple copies be made to support test data management processes such as patch, test, QA, and training. Most companies make 6-8 full size clones for every production application, not only wasting storage and time in cloning but potentially exposing sensitive application data to the test environment.

Application retirement reduces the number of applications within the IT infrastructure; DBAs can concentrate on maintaining critical business applications with the highest value to the organization instead of compiling data from disparate sources.

Application retirement allows organizations to implement Data migration projects across applications: Legacy, Mainframe, BaaN, JDE, PeopleSoft, Siebel Oracle, SAP, etc. while allowing changes to chart of accounts, organization structure, costing methods, etc.

Information Lifecycle Management solutions are designed to help enterprises manage data growth by providing the tools classify, archive and migrate data to improve application performance and reduce administrative overhead and infrastructure costs.
