Key Takeaways

  • Modern archiving solutions should eliminate data silos and create a centralized, audit-compliant information pool.

  • Strategic archiving with modern systems like kgs tia® delivers rapid ROI, significant cost savings, and increased efficiency.

  • Integrating flexible, future-ready archiving solutions is crucial for aligning with evolving business and compliance requirements.

In today’s digital age, modern archiving solutions must do better than just transfer data and documents no longer needed in production to suitable storage systems or store them in an audit-compliant manner in accordance with legal requirements. Companies want to put an end to data silos that only generate high costs and cause frustration in the IT department. Archiving solutions need to be given the attention they deserve. They need to be modernized, adapted to current and future requirements and designed to facilitate your key processes. Required actions include streamlining, adaptation to modern technologies – including the cloud – and investing in an architecture that guarantees a high and, above all, measurable ROI after a short period of time.

Archiving is generally among the less popular IT tasks. In a sense, it is hidden “in the blind spot” of the company, and the common attitude towards archiving is “don’t change a running system.” While there is nothing wrong with this strategy in general, it fails when the remaining corporate environment is undergoing massive change. However, change is happening on a grand scale. Applications, data centers and legal requirements have evolved significantly – and this needs to be taken into account. Archiving has become a strategic component of IT, both from an economic perspective as well as regards business-critical processes.

Archiving is a discipline that companies should use strategically. When applied properly and based on a modern solution like tia® from kgs, this approach delivers immediate insight into the archived data and provides all corporate areas with a lean long-term memory. IT teams and the purchasing department also benefit from a reduction in their administrative work and significant cost reductions (ROI).
