The “5-fold” advantage of using AvenDATA’s archiving solution
Every organization strives to update and grow by revising or modifying the business processes. But there are certain systems that obstruct the potential of the organization to adapt to the latest technology, fostering avoidable losses. These are the legacy systems that may be outdated but are vital to the daily operations of the organization.
The process of replacing the older setups with the latest ones, supporting advanced technology, is quite a task. Further, this task becomes a challenge when these over-burdened systems show an inability to integrate with advanced technological changes. Organizations suffer from these older systems due to high maintenance costs, formation of data silos, compliance issues, mobile incompatibility, data integration problems, security risks, inefficient and unstable systems, poor customer experience, and eventually decreased business value.
Organizations need to accept and identify these pitfalls to overcome the challenges, thereby navigating towards digital transformation. It is extremely vital to understand that the older solutions were running on much older versions of the legacy hardware. Further, it is highly impractical to run these systems on newer hardware as maintaining such setups is an expensive proposition.
Apart from the high expense incurred, organizations often suffer due to the absence of adequate documentation of the system architecture. This leads to the placement of many patches, which hampers system integration. The lack of proper system integration may lead to vulnerabilities and pose a great risk of being compromised by hackers. Moreover, multi-integration requirements result in insufficient point-to-point integration. In such scenarios, business process continuity fails.
