Data Archiving

With such long-term products like pensions and annuities, data can build up quickly. It can hold you back as you need to retain certain data for compliance with regulations but storing it all can be costly and can slow you down.

This is especially true when you’re making changes to existing systems or migrating to a new one. When your data isn’t used on a day-to-day basis it’s likely to be inefficient to migrate all records and history on to a new platform or software. You can be left wondering what to do with your legacy data, or perhaps even continuing expensive maintenance of an unused legacy system just to maintain records.

Of course, you need to have access to these records going forward, particularly with the increase in subject access request following the introduction of General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

We’ve created eArchive to help. It’s designed to be a faithful representation of legacy source systems, enabling you to access your data through a web-based system. It comes with a standard reporting suite making it easy for you to see what data you hold.

We can extract legacy data from multiple systems and archive it all in the one place, so that when you get a subject access request, you can get to the data easily. Our software, eArchive, gives administrators the ability to view data through custom reports, and importantly to only view the data they should see thanks to inbuilt access controls.

The software runs on modern commodity architecture, providing a low-cost and compliant alternative as the data structure is determined by the original system.

Using our eArchive software consolidates historic HR and Payroll data from different sources into one central system. It removes the cost and burden of maintaining obsolete legacy platforms while allowing you to continue to meet legal obligations for data retention.
