Background Definitions

Legacy applications • Obsolete • Redundant • Necessary

Application decommissioning • Turn off old technology • Preserve the data for use • Shared platform for all decommissioned applications • Repeatable

Facts about legacy applications

SOURCE: NCC survey of companies with over 50 IT staff


IT Budget Challenges The burden of legacy applications

• No competitive advantage to be gained, table stakes

• Minimize spend to achieve “acceptable” service levels • Most infrastructure and maintenance of application spend falls into this category • Ever increasing spend


Application Decommissioning Redefine the Pie

Technology investments that lead to or support new products / services that lead to sustainable competitive advantage

Technology investments that lead to or support new products / services that lead to sustainable competitive advantage • Make good investment (ROI) decisions • Can lead to competitive advantage – but often targeted at parity with competitors • Reduce and Shift the spend


Getting Started If you meet one or more of these criteria you may be a very good candidate for application decommissioning.

(for Banks)

Need to Support FDIC

Requirements (e.g. Insurance, Consumer Packaged

Goods, etc.)

Litigation Prone

(e.g. Financial Services Pharmaceutical, and

Government)

Application Data


Business Value Determine the business impact and value

• Talk to the business and SME’s • Determine how the application is currently used • What is the type and nature of data? • Discuss governance climate

Plan for the Data How should the data be managed?

• How can you get the data out of the application? • Determine how to model the data (in xml) • Understand the size and magnitude of the data • Identify retention policies and desires


Consider the Technology

• “To Be” Application Requirements – search, drilldown views and reporting • Production environment • Architecture • Non-functional requirements

What is the current IT landscape?


The Big Question

• Make a short list of candidate applications based on data state and business value

• Determine the costs to: – Establish the environment – Extract, Transform and Load the data – Configure and develop the

application to meet requirements

• Evaluate cost to maintain vs cost to decommission

• Proof of concept

Is the cost to decommission worth it?

Application Decommissioning for InfoArchive

XML is vendor-neutral, self-describing, ubiquitous, future proof.

Schema-less noSQL XML database vastly simplifies ETL. No target schema, ultimate flexibility.

SQL Gateway enables access by BI applications.

Archive structured and unstructured with a single solution.

Iterative approach facilitates EMC training your team

to own archiving process in future. Low-cost, low-risk, simple,

extremely fast to implement.

ARCHITECTED FOR VALUE

• Don’t simply architect the past, re-draw the boundaries

• Make the data available to more people, with full control

• Put the data to work in new ways: make accessible to other applications, analysis, historical context

• Re-envision application data by user, unhook from function

• Big Data Lake ready
