Solix application retirement as-a-service helps organizations transition from complex, on-prem legacy applications to a modern SaaS-based approach with centralized data retention, robust connectors, metadata management, and advanced reporting all on a secure, compliant platform.<\/p>\n      <p>The self-funding model: With Solix, every application you retire not only cuts costs and reduces risk but also helps the solution pay for itself. The more applications you retire, the more cost savings and efficiency gains you achieve. Decommissioning legacy systems frees up valuable resources and lowers maintenance expenses, creating a self funding cycle where ongoing savings cover and even exceed the cost of the platform turning retirement into a revenue positive strategy.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"cols image\">\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solix.com\/wp-content\/themes\/vantage-child\/images\/application-retirement-diagram-v3.png\" alt=\"Solix Application Retirement Solution, Retire Legacy Apps and Reduce Costs\" title=\"Solix Application Retirement Solution\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-568-3\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" ><div id=\"pgc-568-3-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-568-3-0-0\" class=\"widget_text so-panel widget widget_custom_html panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"3\" ><div class=\"textwidget custom-html-widget\"><div class=\"full-width center sticky-features-container\">\n    <span class=\"secSmTitle\">Key Capabilities<\/span>\n    <h3>Core Capabilities and Business Benefits of Application Retirement<\/h3>\n    <p>Discover essential features for secure, compliant, and efficient application retirement, ensuring data integrity, regulatory adherence, and seamless legacy system decommissioning<\/p>\n    <div class=\"sticky-features-wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"sticky-features-content\">\n            <div class=\"sticky-features_item\" data-video_control=\"1\">\n                <div id=\"optimize-1\"  class=\"sticky-features_item-content\">\n                    <div class=\"sticky-features_item-content-card\">\n                        <span><i class=\"fa fa-circle\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>Retire Legacy Applications<\/span>\n                        <h4>Simplified Application Decommissioning<\/h4>\n                        <p>Solix Application Retirement enables secure and compliant decommissioning of legacy applications by archiving application data into a central repository preserving access for audit, compliance, or business use.<\/p>\n                        <ul class=\"cbpoints\">\n                            <li>Simplify the IT landscape and reduce legacy system maintenance<\/li>\n                            <li>Ensure long-term access to retired application data<\/li>\n                            <li>Lower storage and licensing costs<\/li>\n                            <li>Maintain compliance with legal and regulatory mandates<\/li>\n                            <li>Supports retiring ERP, CRM, Custom Apps, Mainframes, and industry-specific applications<\/li>\n                        <\/ul>\n                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"sticky-features_item\" data-video_control=\"2\">\n                <div id=\"optimize-2\" class=\"sticky-features_item-content\">\n                    <div class=\"sticky-features_item-content-card\">\n                        <span><i class=\"fa fa-circle\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>Data Retention<\/span>\n                        <h4>Unified Data Governance<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Solix Application Retirement is a unified platform for managing data from all legacy enterprise systems, streamlining regulatory compliance and lifecycle management through the discovery and governance of sensitive data.

Retirement<\/h3>\n  <div class=\"faqblk\">\n    <div id=\"faqAccord\">\n      <h3><p class=\"hinner\">What is application retirement, and how is it different from backups or simple data archiving?<\/p><\/h3>\n        <div class=\"faq-cont\">\n          <p>Application retirement is the structured process of permanently shutting down an application while moving its business-critical data into a dedicated, accessible archive for audit, compliance, analytics, and AI. With Solix, that data is preserved as Enterprise Business Records (EBRs) with full context, governed by retention\/legal-hold policies, and accessed through search, SQL, APIs, and reports.<\/p>\n        <\/div>\n      <h3><p class=\"hinner\">Why not just keep legacy applications in read-only mode?<\/p><\/h3>\n      <div class=\"faq-cont\">\n        <p>Keeping legacy apps in \u201cread-only\u201d mode still incurs licenses, infrastructure, admin effort, security vulnerabilities, and dependence on niche skills. Solix lets you safely switch them off by moving all required data attachments, reports, logs into a secure, governed archive on Solix CDP, reducing OPEX and technical debt while meeting retention, eDiscovery, and audit needs.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n      <h3><p class=\"hinner\">When is the right time to retire an application?<\/p><\/h3>\n      <div class=\"faq-cont\">\n        <p>You should consider retiring an application when it\u2019s been replaced by a modern system, its maintenance and license costs exceed its value, the tech stack is unsupported, or it\u2019s kept only for historical lookups. Solix helps score apps by business value, cost, risk, and compliance so you retire the highest-impact systems first.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n      <h3><p class=\"hinner\">What happens to my data when I retire an application with Solix? Will auditors and business users still get what they need?<\/p><\/h3>\n      <div class=\"faq-cont\">\n        <p>With Solix, your data doesn\u2019t disappear\u2014it\u2019s standardized, validated, and centralized into Solix CDP with full metadata. We create Enterprise Business Records (EBRs) that bundle all related tables, files, and documents per transaction, accessible via web portal, search, reports, SQL, and APIs, so auditors and business users still get everything they need.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n      <h3><p class=\"hinner\">Can retired data still be used for reporting, analytics, and AI (including GenAI & RAG)?<\/p><\/h3>\n      <div class=\"faq-cont\">\n        <p>Yes. With Solix, retired data lands in a governed platform (Solix CDP) that preserves full metadata and context, so it can still be queried via SQL, BI, search, and APIs, fed into data lakes and lakehouses, and used as trusted historical context for GenAI\/RAG\u2014turning legacy data into AI-ready fuel.<\/p>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Challenges Legacy Applications Cost Your Business Millions in Unnecessary Overhead Legacy applications are more than just outdated technology they drain your resources.
