“With Docbyte’s Application Retirement Solution, we effectively executed our carve out strategy, streamlined our IT systems modernization landscape while ensuring seamless access to retired application data.”

Fritz Defloor, CIO of AZ Alma Hospital

Why application retirement needs a governed archive

Legacy systems are often kept alive because the organisation still needs the data. Docbyte Vault gives that data a governed access layer, so the old application can be retired without losing traceability, context or control.

Retire obsolete systems

Reduce complexity by decommissioning redundant applications while keeping the information they contain searchable, understandable and usable.

secure record retention

Reduce legacy cost and risk

Lower the licence, infrastructure, support and security burden of systems that no longer need to run day to day.

Searchable structured data archive

Keep retired application data available through a governed archive, with enough metadata and context for authorised users to find and interpret it.
