Legacy
Archiving System
We offer professional archiving and migration services for your legacy systems, file systems, and documents. “Legacy systems” encompass outdated or unused software applications, databases, IT systems, and file systems that may contain important historical data but are only occasionally or rarely used in your organization.
We not only archive software applications and databases but also various document types such as PDFs, Excel spreadsheets, Word documents and other important records.
For over 15 years
We have been providing these services for over 15 years and have successfully archived entire data centers with various applications for reputable corporations in the process. Through our experience and expertise, these companies have been able to manage their decommissioned systems efficiently and cost-effectively.
The management of these archived systems and documents is handled through our proprietary software, ViewBox, which functions as a retrieval system. ViewBox allows for easy and efficient access to the archived data and offers comprehensive management and search functionalities.

Successful
Decommissioning
Hundreds of Systems
Across Various Types
With our profound understanding of the architecture and functionality of these versions, we can provide you with a professional and seamless decommissioning process. Successful legacy system archiving is also based on extensive experience.
Legacy
System Analysis
Our application retirement process begins with a thorough analysis of your legacy system. This analysis is crucial for estimating the timeframe and costs associated with archiving your legacy system, whether it’s SAP or another type of legacy system. The results of the system analysis will be presented to you as a fixed-price offer, which you can accept or decline. The system analysis covers technical and business aspects such as system access, database type and size, required reports, and more.
Legacy System
Project Archiving
Upon completion of the system analysis, you decide to proceed with the project with us. A kick-off meeting marks the beginning of the project, where your team will meet our experienced project manager. We take on the archiving tasks of your legacy system, relieving your resources. The project includes various milestones such as system access, data export, data transfer and documentation of all processes. The project duration typically ranges from 3 to 6 months, depending on the complexity of your legacy system. Throughout the process, our teams and project managers are available for support.
At the end of the project, we conduct testing and acceptance phases to ensure that all data has been successfully transferred. We accompany these phases to require minimal resource allocation and ensure that all requirements are met before the project’s completion.
Legacy System
Archiving Result
As a result of migrating to a proprietary software solution called ViewBox, all essential tables and documents are migrated there to be ready for future inquiries. ViewBox, a retrieval system, allows for easy and efficient access to the archived data. Additionally, we reconstruct all essential reports to ensure that crucial information remains available even after the original system has been decommissioned. After the implementation of ViewBox, the original system can be shut down.
At the end of each project, you will receive comprehensive documentation so that even years
later an expert third party can see how the archiving was carried out and, above all, how it
was tested. In addition, we store all individual tests and individual archiving steps in a Jira
ticket system until the archiving system is deleted.

As a cutting-edge reading and research system, AvenDATA’s ViewBox software enables you to search, analyze, and authorize data swiftly and efficiently. ViewBox also offers a highly automated feature for data deletion after a defined period. Utilizing a dependable cloud infrastructure, ViewBox ensures secure access to your data through an intuitively operable web application.
