ERP Data Archive System

Introduction

With organizations transitioning from ERP systems like Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS), SAP, etc to Oracle Fusion, there is a significant need to manage legacy data efficiently. This transition often leaves a large amount of valuable historical data in ERP, which can be cumbersome and costly to access if left in the original environment.

Problem

ERP contains critical historical data that businesses rely on for compliance, reporting, and operational analysis. However, maintaining a big ERP environment solely for data access is not cost-effective. Moreover, Oracle Fusion does not automatically incorporate historical data from ERP, creating a gap in data continuity and accessibility.

Solution

To address these challenges, our solution involves migrating historical data from ERP system to a more cost-effective environment, ensuring that it remains accessible and usable through a modern frontend. This allows users to access legacy data seamlessly without maintaining the full ERP system/infrastructure.

Benefits

1. Cost Efficiency: Reduces costs by eliminating the need to maintain complete ERP system just for accessing historical data.
2. Data Accessibility: Provides easy access to historical data through a modern, intuitive interface.
3. Seamless Integration: Ensures that legacy data can be viewed alongside new data in Oracle Fusion without complex integrations.
4. Compliance and Reporting: Supports compliance and reporting requirements by retaining access to historical data.
5. Scalability: Leverages the scalability of light weight and latest technologies to handle large volumes of data and user requests efficiently.

Data Transition to Oracle Fusion with Data Archive System:

Many of our clients, having accumulated substantial amounts of data in ERP system, are transitioning to Oracle Fusion. They require the migration of all historical data from ERP system to a Data Archive System, which will be accessed via a modern web interface. This migration not only facilitates the phasing out of the older ERP system but also ensures that all historical data remains accessible in a cost-effective and efficient manner.

Enhancing Performance by Offloading Historical Data:

For clients who have been using ERP for extended periods, there is a significant need to enhance system performance by offloading older transaction data. This involves migrating & purging a substantial portion of transaction data to a Data Archive System, which will reduce the load on the current ERP system, thereby improving its performance. The archived data will be stored in different database and made accessible through a web application, ensuring that it can still be viewed and analysed without maintaining the full operational costs of the older system.

Recovering Large Volumes of Data by Moving Attachments to Object Storage

Handling large volumes of attachments within an application can lead to performance bottlenecks, increased storage costs, and complex database management. Object storage offers a scalable, cost-effective, and efficient way to manage this data. Below are the few Object storage solution that are available.
