Decommissioning Drivers Information from legacy systems (structured / unstructured) can be archived and made

accessible to the business.

•  Data Center Consolidation / Migration

•  Reduce Complexity and costs of running legacy or duplication systems (resulting from M&A)

EMC InfoArchive: Qualifiers for Decommissioning

What to Look For Consolidation events

•  Merger, acquisition, or business shutdowns •  Decommission applications •  Consolidate or virtualize data centres

Application stress

•  Slow application response times due to data overload

Compliance sensitivity

•  Alternative Investment Fund Managers Directive (AIFMD), Europe

•  Basel III, International •  Dodd-Frank, U.S. and International •  Volcker Rule, U.S. and International

Intellectual Property Concerns

•  Litigation, infringement, M&A, ongoing development

What to Avoid •  Complete focus on unstructured archiving - no

element of structured data •  No archiving strategy: Require only occasional

archiving, possibly for historical reasons •  Lack significant compliance or regulatory

pressures / data lake conversations •  Need to archive email only:

•  SourceOne is the better choice •  Need to archive SAP only:

•  Document-based solution is the better choice
