Reducing Infrastructure Costs with Application Decommissioning: A Financial Data Warehouse Perspective

As a tech enthusiast and writer, I’m always excited to explore innovative solutions that can help organizations streamline their operations and reduce costs. One such solution is application decommissioning, which can have a significant impact on infrastructure costs. In this blog post, I’ll discuss how financial data warehouses can benefit from application decommissioning, and how Solix.com can help make it happen.

The Challenge of Financial Data Warehouses

When it comes to financial data warehouses, managing large amounts of data is a significant challenge. Financial institutions, in particular, have to deal with complex regulatory requirements, high transaction volumes, and the need to store data for extended periods. This can lead to a proliferation of applications, databases, and infrastructure, resulting in increased costs and complexity.

The Role of Application Decommissioning

That’s where application decommissioning comes in. By identifying and retiring unused or underutilized applications, organizations can reduce their infrastructure costs, simplify their IT landscape, and improve overall efficiency. But how does this relate to financial data warehouses?

Let’s take an example. Suppose a financial institution has a legacy application that was used for a specific business function but is no longer needed. By decommissioning this application, the institution can eliminate the associated infrastructure costs, such as hardware, software, and maintenance expenses. This can result in significant cost savings, which can be redirected to more strategic initiatives.

How Solix Can Help

Solix.com can help organizations like this achieve application decommissioning through its suite of products, including EDMS (Enterprise Data Management Suite) and CDP (Cloud Data Platform). EDMS provides tools for Information Lifecycle Management (ILM), including database archiving, application retirement, and data masking, which can help organizations optimize their infrastructure, improve application performance, and ensure regulatory compliance.

For instance, Solix’s EDMS can help a financial institution like Santander, which is a Solix customer, identify and retire unused applications, reducing its infrastructure costs and improving overall efficiency. By leveraging Solix’s technology, Santander can focus on more strategic initiatives, such as developing new products and services, while reducing its IT costs.

In addition to application decommissioning, Solix.com offers a range of other solutions that can help financial institutions like GE, Juniper, and Unilever reduce their infrastructure costs and improve their overall operations. For example, Solix’s data governance solution can help organizations like Citigroup and Molson Coors protect consumer data and comply with regulations, while its data masking solution can help organizations like AIG and BAE Systems secure sensitive data in non-production environments.
