Cost Savings Opportunities from Decommissioning Inactive Applications
Decommissioning inactive IT applications offers significant cost savings, often amounting to millions annually for large organizations. While identifying potential savings is straightforward, challenges arise in managing data and user dependencies. Efficient strategies are required to address these challenges and realize the financial benefits.
Mitigating Risk from Database Volume Growth
As data volume increases, database efficiency declines, leading to higher maintenance costs and reduced productivity. Many organizations overlook this issue, resulting in surprise expenses. Solix advocates for Database Active Archiving, an aspect of Information Lifecycle Management (ILM), to prevent database growth and manage data bloat effectively.
