SaaS Archiving: Secure Data,
Retain Reports & Ensure Compliance with AvenDATA
Our battle-tested solution empowers Fortune 500 companies and global enterprises to completely secure data across modern cloud and SaaS platforms of every type and industry. This includes SAP, Oracle, and Salesforce; Microsoft Dynamics 365, Workday, and HubSpot; and ticketing systems like Jira, Zendesk, ServiceNow, and Freshdesk, spanning accounting, CRM, HR, and customer service.
The Challenge
Your SaaS data is mission-critical, yet canceling subscriptions or switching vendors threatens complete loss of access.
During IT Modernization initiatives, vendor transitions, system consolidations, or the aggressive cancellation of bloated SaaS subscriptions, organizations consistently face a critical roadblock.
Your modern SaaS solutions, whether CRMs, ERPs, HR platforms, or ticketing systems, still house vital intelligence you absolutely must retain to mitigate litigation risks, ensure IRS/SEC compliance, and drive business strategy.
However, this data is trapped in a third-party cloud. The moment your subscription ends, your access vanishes. Vendor export deadlines are notoriously tight, and you are often forced to pay exorbitant and ongoing subscription fees just to keep your own historical data accessible at all.
Retrieving your essential intelligence becomes incredibly difficult or completely impossible, even though you must keep it highly available, analyzable, and strictly audit-proof for IRS/Audit readiness.
This is exactly where AvenDATA steps in with our industry-standard platform for SaaS archiving.

(Measurable ROI)
Even for Complex SaaS Solutions
Depending on system complexity and data volume, your Legacy System Retirement typically takes just 1 to 6 months. By leveraging our highly structured and standardized methodology, we empower you to securely and efficiently archive even the most massive SaaS environments.
We have successfully migrated cloud applications containing multiple terabytes of data including complex reports, highly customized internal evaluations, and comprehensive documentation straight into our industry-standard platform.

In the vast majority of our IT Modernization projects, your Return on Investment (ROI) is achieved in under one year. This is driven directly by highly measurable savings across subscriptions, infrastructure, and internal bandwidth.
Comprehensive SaaS
System Analysis
The first step in any Legacy System Retirement is a forensic analysis of your existing SaaS infrastructure. This assessment lays the exact groundwork needed to accurately project timelines and costs for your IT Modernization and SaaS archiving initiative.
We systematically evaluate both the granular technical details and the broader commercial imperatives, including:
- Current access capabilities into your active SaaS platform (like Admin privileges, export rights, or API permissions)
- The architecture and scope of available interfaces and export formats (such as REST API, CSV, XML, and JSON)
- The depth and operational necessity of your active reports, dashboards, and embedded applications
- Unique system quirks, including custom fields, bespoke workflows, specialized API integrations, or supplementary modules
We package these critical insights into a firm and fixed-price proposal. This arms you with ultimate planning certainty and absolute decision-making power to ensure your seamless transition and IRS and audit readiness.
Executing Your SaaS
Archiving Project
Once the system analysis wraps, your core project launches in a highly structured, incredibly efficient manner, mapped to clear milestones to accelerate your IT Modernization.
During a collaborative kickoff session, we align with your stakeholders on all technical and operational parameters. From this moment on, we take the heavy lifting completely off your plate:
- Configuring secure system and API access gateways
- Exporting and migrating all critical intelligence directly through the vendor interfaces
- Rebuilding your high-value reports and bespoke analytics
- Meticulously documenting every action to guarantee uncompromising IRS and audit readiness
Our veteran project leaders steer you through the entire lifecycle, engineering a frictionless transition that demands minimal bandwidth from your internal teams.
To successfully close the project, we partner with you to execute rigorous testing and signoff phases. This verifies that every piece of data is archived flawlessly, comprehensively, and with total traceability to mitigate litigation risks.
The Result of Your
Archiving Initiative
At project wrap-up, every critical table, document, and report from your legacy SaaS solution has been securely transferred into our industry-standard platform, ViewBox.
ViewBox is a powerful web-based research system designed to give you and authorized personnel rapid, secure, and traceable access to archived records years after your IT Modernization is complete.
A massive value driver is that we recreate all vital standard and custom reports so you can seamlessly execute commercial, tax, or legal queries without ever needing access to the original SaaS environment again.
Following the successful deployment and signoff on ViewBox, you can completely cancel your original subscription to drastically slash your ongoing costs.
At completion, we hand over comprehensive procedural documentation that transparently outlines every phase to guarantee absolute IRS and audit readiness, specifically detailing:
- The methodology used for data extraction
- The architectural structure of the archived repository
- The stringent testing and validation phases executed
Furthermore, we meticulously log every granular step of the archiving journey from initial data export to final approval and ultimate deletion of the source system in a fully audit-proof format within our Jira ticketing environment. This ensures that third-party reviewers and auditors can verify exactly how your archiving strategy was executed at any time.
ViewBox Enterprise:
Use archived data from legacy systems securely and quickly
With ViewBox Enterprise, AvenDATA offers a powerful platform for secure access to data from decommissioned ERP and legacy systems. The solution combines modern search and analysis functions with strong performance, comprehensive security mechanisms, and intelligent features developed with the support of artificial intelligence.
ViewBox Enterprise ensures that your archived data:
- remains understandable and usable many years after system decommissioning
- can be searched, filtered, and analyzed quickly and precisely
- is available in an audit-proof, traceable form for internal and external audits
- is protected against unauthorized access through role-based permissions
- can be evaluated more efficiently with intelligent functions
- remains available independently of the original application
One notable feature is automated, rule-based data deletion. Based on statutory, contractual, or company-internal retention periods, data can be deleted in a controlled, traceable, and documented way once the relevant period expires. This helps companies meet their data protection and compliance requirements with ViewBox Enterprise.
Historical company data therefore stays available for the long term.
