How to deal with legacy systems and where to put the data
Mar 10, '25
The situation is all too familiar: IT systems grow and thrive, and users become hunters and gatherers of data. Sooner or later, you inevitably must keep pace with technological progress and say goodbye to your old system. A transformation is on the horizon. But where does the data go, and what happens to the legacy system? Simple: Natuvion Intelligent Data Store (IDS). Gerrit Weingartner, Product Enabler for Natuvion IDS, explains exactly what Natuvion IDS can do for you.
During a transformation or carve-out, the natural focus is on the task of transferring your data to the new system. Decisions about handling the legacy systems often take a back seat. When the confetti settles after a successful transformation, many find themselves stumbling over the fact that the legacy system still exists and that its data still requires attention. You might suddenly wonder: “Delete or archive it?” or “Continue operating it or shut it down?” The cost factor also quickly returns to the forefront.
Delete vs. Archive
The first question that arises in this situation is whether you still need the data. Even if you don't, it's essential to ensure compliance with legal deadlines regarding retention and deletion here. In many cases, deletion is not the right choice. So if the data is still required, where should you store it? Do you want to bear the cost of running the legacy system in parallel just to keep the data accessible in a limited manner? If not, where can you put the data to meet your obligations in a cost-effective and simple way? One question leads to many more.
The Answer: Natuvion IDS
The Natuvion Intelligent Data Store provides a simple and cost-effective way to decommission a system. The data that is subject to retention requirements is transferred one-to-one into a secure cloud database, providing full access for a designated group of employees. The intuitive web frontend allows for quick and convenient access to the data, if needed. Our broad and ever-growing catalog of standard views, modeled on standard SAP transactions, refines and simplifies your data queries even further. Don’t see a view for your specific requirement? No problem! We’ll work with you to create it, and for tech-savvy customers, we'll even enable you to create your own views. To that end, we provide a low-code View Editor right out of the box. Additional functionalities, such as continuous deletion runs to meet legal requirements, are also available.
Our standardized project approach and attractive licensing model enable fast and cost-effective project implementation. Supported by our Natuvion IDS assessment, we work with you to define the individual scope and content of your Natuvion IDS project.
