2016 Spring Seminar

Is your old data gathering dust in outdated systems? Does your organization own archaic systems and applications that need to be kept running because of the data that’s kept within? When compliance reasons require access old data, the overhead cost to keep disks of outdated systems spinning is often significant. At the same time, the business value of retaining the data is often low. Learn about decommissioning old systems – turning the lights off and saving cost or reducing risks. Understand the risks for keeping archaic systems and data beyond their required limits. Find out approaches to archiving and extraction of data required for retention while setting sunset dates for archaic applications and obsolete data. A clean, complaint data footprint can be very refreshing!
