63 Customer References. One Strong Message.

From international corporations to mid-sized businesses, more companies are trusting AvenDATA to ensure the audit-proof archiving of their legacy systems. Our website now features 63 customer references spanning a wide range of industries. They include well-known companies such as Zurich, Symrise, Versuni, Landis+Gyr, Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ), and Paulig.
They all face a common challenge: historical business data must remain accessible over the long term, while outdated IT systems need to be decommissioned securely, cost-effectively, and in compliance with legal requirements. This is exactly where AvenDATA’s ViewBox archiving solution comes in.

Legacy Systems Cost Money. Decommissioning Them Saves.

Archiving is no longer just an IT task. It has become a strategic business decision. Whether it involves SAP ECC, other ERP systems, or complex legacy applications, keeping outdated systems running indefinitely incurs significant costs, ties up IT resources, and increases technical complexity.
Our customer references illustrate the wide range of starting points and demonstrate how successfully these challenges can be addressed. Landis+Gyr, for example, reports on the audit-proof archiving of multiple SAP ECC systems, while Symrise particularly highlights the professional, solution-oriented collaboration. Versuni, in turn, values the pragmatic implementation and close partnership. What all these projects have in common is the goal of keeping historical data accessible over the long term while sustainably simplifying the IT landscape.

A Future Without Legacy IT Burdens.

As companies modernize their IT landscapes, implement cloud strategies, and transition to new ERP platforms such as SAP S/4HANA, the structured decommissioning of legacy systems is becoming increasingly important. After all, a historical system does not need to remain operational simply because its data is still required. With ViewBox, AvenDATA enables companies to separate data retention from system operations. Companies can simplify their established IT structures, reduce ongoing operating and licensing costs, and ensure continued access to archived business data. Our customer references demonstrate that cost efficiency, compliance, and technological modernization can be successfully achieved together.

600 Systems. 30 Countries. And counting.

For us, 63 customer references are not a destination, but another milestone. With more than 600 archived systems across over 30 countries, archiving and decommissioning complex enterprise applications is at the core of our business. Our projects range from individual legacy applications to the archiving of extensive, internationally developed IT landscapes. The fact that more customers are willing to share their experiences publicly is a special sign of trust for us and a strong signal to companies facing similar challenges. We will be publishing additional customer references shortly. We warmly invite existing customers, prospective clients, and IT decision-makers to explore our projects and learn firsthand about our customers’ experiences.
