Most projects have some attributes that you consider to be key for success. Archiving projects have some unique characteristics compared with traditional ERP projects.

Identify Measurable Benefits

    • Consider Business Risks such as litigation along with technical benefits.
    • Estimate gains in back-up and recovery times and improvements and decrease in risk.
    • Evaluate cost saving by moving older data less expensive hardware.

Evaluate Baseline Data Integrity

    • Are there data continuity issues today?
    • Will the removal of older data resolve or improve integrity issues?
    • Do standard Integrity Reports run without issue?
    • Have multiple data conversions taken place over time?

Think about data in Business Terms:

    • Think about transactions and not just the largest tables
    • Procure to Pay
    • Order to Cash
    • For example, Invoices should not be archived without considering the status of a Sales Order

Consider current and future purging requirements

    • Create virtual bank boxes of data today that may be easily disposed of in the future
    • Can some of the data be purged directly today?

Make the data easily accessible

  • Allow users to access the data via the native platform, such as JDE
  • Keep archived data in the same format as production for easier use by native and third-party reports
