63 Customer References. One Strong Message.
From international corporations to midsize businesses, a growing number of companies trust AvenDATA for the audit-proof archiving of their legacy systems. Our website now features 63 customer references for legacy system archiving across a wide range of industries, including well-known companies such as Zurich, Symrise, Versuni, Landis+Gyr, Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ), and Paulig.
They all face the same challenge: historical business data must remain accessible over the long term, while outdated IT systems must be decommissioned securely, cost-effectively, and in compliance with legal requirements.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 It
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 Whether it involves SAP ECC, other ERP systems, or complex legacy applications, keeping outdated systems running indefinitely creates significant costs, ties up IT resources, and increases technical complexity.
Our customer references show how varied the starting points are and how successfully these challenges can be solved. Landis+Gyr, for example, describes the audit-proof archiving of multiple SAP ECC systems, while Symrise highlights the professional, solution-oriented collaboration. Versuni 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 simplifying the IT landscape for the long term.
A Future Without Legacy IT Burdens
As companies modernize their IT landscapes, implement cloud strategies, and move to new ERP platforms such as SAP S/4HANA, the structured decommissioning of legacy systems is becoming increasingly important. After all, a legacy system does not need to stay in operation simply because its data is still required. With ViewBox, AvenDATA enables companies to separate data retention from system operations. This allows them to streamline their existing IT structures, reduce ongoing operating and licensing costs, and retain full access to archived business data. Our customer references show that cost efficiency, compliance, and technological modernization can go hand in hand.
600+ Systems. 30+ Countries. And Counting.
For us, 63 customer references are not a destination but another milestone. We have archived more than 600 systems in more than 30 countries, and archiving and decommissioning complex enterprise applications is at the core of our business. Our projects range from individual legacy applications to extensive IT landscapes that span multiple countries. The growing number of customers 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 publish additional customer references soon. We invite existing customers, prospective customers, and IT decision-makers to explore our projects and see what our customers have experienced.
