Our expertise in decommissioning legacy systems
Archiving
legacy systems
We offer professional archiving and migration services for your legacy systems, filing systems and documents. Legacy systems are outdated or unused software applications, databases, IT systems and filing systems that contain important historical data but are only occasionally or rarely used in the company.
We not only archive software applications and databases, but also various types of documents, such as PDFs, Excel spreadsheets, Word documents and other important documents.
For over 15 years
We have been offering these services for over 15 years and have already successfully archived entire data centres using various applications for well-known companies. Thanks to our experience and expertise, these companies have been able to archive their decommissioned systems efficiently and cost-effectively.
These archived systems and documents are managed using our proprietary ViewBox software, which then acts as a retrieval system. ViewBox enables simple and efficient access to the archived data and offers comprehensive management and search functions.

Successfully
decommissioning
hundreds of systems
of various types
With our in-depth knowledge of the system structure and functionality of hundreds of IT systems and their various versions, we can guarantee you a professional and smooth decommissioning process. Our successful archiving of legacy systems is also based on extensive experience.
Analysing
the
legacy system
Our system decommissioning process begins by thoroughly analysing of the legacy system. This analysis is crucial for estimating the timeframe and costs associated with archiving the legacy system, regardless of the type of system. The results of this analysis are presented in the form of a fixed price offer, which you can accept or reject. The system analysis covers technical and business aspects, such as system access, database type and size, required reports and much more.
Project:

legacy system
After we have conducted the system analysis, you can decide whether or not to carry out the project with us. Every project begins with a kick-off meeting, where your team meets with one of our experienced project managers. We take over the archiving tasks for your legacy system and thus relieve your capacities. The project includes various milestones, such as system access, data export, data transfer and documentation of all processes. Each project usually takes between 3 and 6 months, depending on the complexity of your legacy system. Our team and project manager will be at your side throughout the entire process.
At the end of the project, we conduct test and acceptance phases to ensure that all data has been successfully transferred. We conduct these phases using minimal resources and ensure that all requirements are met before the project is completed.

By switching to our specially developed ViewBox software solution, all important tables and documents are transferred there in preparation for future requests. ViewBox, a search system, enables easy and efficient access to archived data and documents. In addition, we reconstruct all important reports to ensure that important information remains available even after the original system has been decommissioned.
Once ViewBox has been implemented, the original system can be decommissioned.
Once ViewBox has been implemented, the original system can be decommissioned.
At the end of each project, you receive comprehensive documentation so that, even years later, an expert third party can see how the archiving was conducted 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.

ViewBox also offers an automated function for deleting data after a certain period of time.
