Use Our Application Retirement Service
- Save on management, software, and hardware costs by retiring legacy applications and archiving the data within them, while enabling easy access to the data without using the legacy application
- By relocating the application data and metadata while maintaining transactional and referential integrity
- Make the best use of IT infrastructure by repurposing servers and storage allocated to legacy applications to more business-critical IT projects
- Quickly respond to audit requests by using the Informatica data discovery portal to search for and retrieve archived data in an application-independent interface or alternatively by using standard reporting or BI tools
