Specialty Chemicals Leader Retires Legacy Systems with Structured Archiving
For several years, specialty chemicals company LANXESS has worked with AvenDATA on multiple high-stakes archiving projects. These projects covered several business-critical legacy platforms, including SAP, JD Edwards, OTRS, and SAP Solution Manager. The goal was to keep all historical enterprise data audit-ready and accessible while fully retiring the underlying legacy systems, eliminating high maintenance costs and reducing operational risk.
Navigating Complex IT Landscapes
The projects required rigorous technical execution to handle diverse system architectures, complex data models, and strict archiving requirements. Through structured data extraction, processing, and archiving, AvenDATA ensured that all relevant enterprise data remains accessible over the long term, without the cost of operating the original applications.
Ensuring Long-Term Data Access and Reducing IT Costs
A key focus was long-term data availability and full audit traceability. Even after a complete legacy system retirement, LANXESS needs fast access to historical data to meet regulatory requirements, pass audits, and run operational analyses. AvenDATA’s proven archiving solution, ViewBox, meets these requirements without the expense of keeping legacy platforms running.
At the same time, shutting down the obsolete systems significantly reduced ongoing IT operating costs.
A Strategic Partnership Focused on Results
Throughout these complex projects, AvenDATA has proven to be a reliable strategic partner. The team works pragmatically and keeps a clear focus on successful project delivery. By archiving and fully decommissioning outdated platforms, companies consolidate their IT landscape, reduce operational complexity, and permanently lower their IT costs.
