Efficient archiving of
legacy Mainframe Systems
Legacy mainframe systems are obsolete or unused software applications, databases, IT systems and file systems that run on mainframe platforms and contain important historical data but are only occasionally or rarely used in the company.
Over 15 years in
Mainframe Archiving
We have been providing specialized archiving and migration services for mainframe systems for over 15 years and have
successfully archived entire data centers with various mainframe applications for well-known companies (primarily banks
and insurance companies). Thanks to our many years of experience and in-depth expertise.

and insurance companies). Thanks to our many years of experience and in-depth expertise.
These companies have been able to archive their decommissioned mainframe systems efficiently and cost-effectively.
These archived mainframe systems and documents are managed using our proprietary ViewBox software, which acts as a
retrieval system. ViewBox enables easy and efficient access to the archived data and offers comprehensive management
and search functions that are specifically tailored to the requirements of mainframe environments.

Analysis of the
legacy mainframe
system
Our mainframe system decommissioning process begins with a thorough analysis of the legacy mainframe system. This analysis is critical to estimating the timeframe and costs associated with archiving the mainframe system, regardless of the type of system. The results of the system analysis are presented in the form of a fixed price quotation, which you can accept or reject. The system analysis covers both technical and business aspects such as system access, database type and size, required reports and reporting and much more to ensure accurate and efficient archiving.
Project to Archiving
legacy mainframe system
After completing the system analysis, you decide to carry out the project with us. The project begins with a kick-off meeting at which your team discusses the project with our experienced project manager. We take over the archiving tasks for your legacy mainframe system, thereby relieving your internal capacities. The project includes various milestones such as system access, data export, data transfer and the documentation of all processes. The project duration is usually between 3 and 6 months, depending on the complexity of your mainframe system.
Our team, including the project manager, will be at your side throughout the entire process. At the end of the project, we carry out test and acceptance phases to ensure that all data has been successfully transferred. We support these phases with minimal resources and ensure that all requirements are fully met before the project is completed.
Result of Archiving
legacy mainframe
system
By switching to our specially developed ViewBox software solution, all important tables and documents from the legacy mainframe system are transferred there in order to be prepared for future queries. ViewBox, a powerful search system, enables simple and efficient access to the archived data and documents. In addition, we reconstruct all relevant reports and reports to ensure that important information remains available even after the original mainframe system has been decommissioned.
Once ViewBox has been successfully implemented, the original mainframe system can be safely decommissioned. At the end of each project, you will receive comprehensive documentation that enables an expert third party to understand how the archiving was carried out and how the tests were performed, even years later. In addition, all individual tests and individual archiving steps are documented and stored in our Jira ticket system until the archive system is deleted.
World of ViewBox
As a modern read and search system, AvenDATA’s ViewBox software enables data to be searched, analyzed and shared quickly and efficiently. ViewBox also offers an automated function for deleting data after a certain period of time, which simplifies the management of archived information. Utilizing a reliable cloud infrastructure, ViewBox ensures secure access to your data via an intuitive web application.
ViewBox undergoes regular security audits and is already successfully used in hundreds of organizations to retrieve historical data from decommissioned legacy systems. As a proven solution, ViewBox provides a reliable way to access and effectively utilize historical data, allowing organizations to optimally manage their archived data.
Flexible Deployment
Options & Fast ROI
By migrating mainframe systems to our solution, customers can typically achieve a return on investment within twelve months of implementation. This migration enables significant cost savings in several areas, including maintenance, license fees, infrastructure, personnel, compliance and operating costs. The rapid ROI makes our solution not only a strategic choice for long-term efficiency and compliance, but also a financially sensible decision in the short term.
