REDWAIRE DATA ARCHIVING: A PROVEN SOLUTION FOR PURGING AND ARCHIVING

Pladis selected Redwaire Data Archiving from Redfaire International after a thorough selection procedure. It was chosen as a proven solution that is already in use at over 500 JD Edwards customers worldwide. Redfaire International also demonstrated their expertise and experience in ERP for the food industry.

The Pladis team considered it easier to use and less complex than other solutions evaluated.

When implementing the solution, specific attention was paid to achieving business buy-in. By communicating business benefits and reassuring users they would not lose any important data, project delay due to end-user resistance was avoided.

A quick and easy project.

The project was executed in stages:

Planning and analysis - to determine the requirements.
Design phase - decide on the order of purging.
Technical Phase - including the installation of the product.
Testing phase - testing and training the product and users.

A simple user interface was developed to allow easy purging and archiving. The application data was reduced by over 50% to 230GB. Tens of millions of records were purged and archived. Data conversion as part of the upgrade project was completed in just one day. A huge success for Pladis and for our Data Management team.

How User Experience Design has become key in your IT strategy
