Financial Data Archival
Archon Suite helps financial enterprises migrate, secure, and manage decades of data with full compliance and zero disruption. From airtight archival to audit-ready access, it’s everything your legacy stack isn’t.
Overview
Legacy systems in finance are more than just slow — they’re expensive, risky, and outdated. With over $10 billion in global compliance fines and 40% of banks still using COBOL-era technology, it’s clear that change is needed.
Archon Suite helps financial enterprises modernize by transforming legacy systems into secure, compliant, and scalable data platforms. It streamlines migration, ensures airtight archival, and prepares your data for future needs.
Whether you’re facing audits, retiring old systems, or enabling real-time insights, Archon makes the transition smooth while keeping you compliant and ready to grow.
