In the world of data management, data archival plays a pivotal role in maintaining and organizing critical information. Data archival, often a complex and time-consuming process, is now revolutionized by the concept of One-Click Archival. This blog will delve into the concept of one-click archival and explore how Archon Suite empowers businesses to achieve seamless data archival.

What Is One-Click Archival?

One-Click Archival, as the name suggests, simplifies the data archival process to a single click. It streamlines the otherwise cumbersome task of preserving and accessing data. Businesses, regardless of their size or industry, can benefit from this innovative approach. This solution is ideal for organizations of all sizes, from small startups to large enterprises. Any entity that deals with data and information management can harness the power of One-Click Archival to enhance efficiency, security, and compliance.

A genuine one-click archival should possess the capability to:

  • Archive all data from the source system with a single click of the button.
  • Create relevant metadata for efficient data management, access, and eventual retirement, all while ensuring compliance.
  • Generate basic views to access the data post-archiving.

Who Needs One-Click Archival?

One-Click archival is a game-changer for various scenarios, including:

  • Truly Legacy Systems: Systems with no Subject Matter Expert (SME) support and minimal knowledge about their functionality
  • Read-Only Systems: Systems that have become read-only and no longer actively queried
  • Compliance Archival: Systems that must be archived for compliance reasons, even when they have little business value
  • Merged Systems: Systems inherited through mergers and acquisitions with unclear data contents

What Are the Advantages of One-Click Archival over Traditional Data Archival?

Embracing One-Click Archival offers numerous benefits, including:

  • Saving more than 90% in implementation time
  • Addressing systems without SMEs to define archiving requirements
  • Managing compliance and reducing infrastructure and legacy maintenance costs
  • Handling data with uncertain future uses

How Does the Archon Suite Help Achieve One-Click Archival?

In the traditional world of data archival, organizations have had to invest significant time and resources into managing their data. The process involves identifying which data needs to be archived, planning the archival process, extracting the data, ensuring its secure storage, and making it accessible when needed. This often cumbersome and lengthy procedure can take up to several months or even years to complete. Such prolonged timelines not only strain resources but also increase the risk of non-compliance with data retention regulations.

Enter Archon Suite, a comprehensive solution that elevates data archival to a whole new level. It seamlessly integrates with existing systems, simplifying the transition from legacy systems and ensuring compliance with data retention requirements.

With Archon Suite, achieving One-Click Archival becomes a reality. The long-drawn process of data archiving is a thing of the past. Organizations can now achieve in a matter of weeks what would typically take months or years to complete. This not only saves time but also reduces the burden on resources and minimizes the risk of compliance issues.
