The Business Challenge
__________________________________
When you manage hundreds of data types and processes through multiple business systems, at some point you are going to need an archiving solution, especially when industry regulations require you keep that information for years. But what if those business systems are a mix of homegrown and off the shelf solutions? And what if you need to manage not only terabytes of database records but millions of unstructured documents as well?
The Everteam Solution
__________________________________
With Everteam’s application archiving solution, MGEN can archive and manage its information through a centralized archive that can be quickly searched by business users. Authorized users can search across repositories with a federated search capability, to deliver results incredibly quickly. In addition, they leverage content analytics built into the solution to do deep dives into the archived content to investigate and assess trends and relationships across the enterprise.
Built on industry standards, Everteam’s archiving solution is independent of storage media, allowing the use of tiered storage to lower costs while ensuring the sustainable storage of data and documents in standard formats and the ability to reverse that storage if necessary.
Benefits Using everteam.archive

The company realized immediate benefits upon full rollout of the production environment:
Security
The archiving process validates the data on secure servers. This helps ensure that not only is the data safe, it’s correct. If and when it needs to be retrieved, company staff has confidence in the accuracy of produced records.
Compliance
Application archiving meets all legal and best practices standards for retention, security, organization, and data access.
Lower Storage Costs
Moving data out of native applications into lower cost tiered storage environments is more cost effective than leaving the data in native applications. With a lower cost per byte and better searchability, moving the data is more efficient than leaving it alone.
Improved Analytics
The ability to apply Everteam’s advanced data analytics to the tables of structured data enables the company to not only store legacy data, but also use it as a knowledge source for future decision making. Intelligent analytics allows staff to evaluate the data in new and different ways, identify trends, and apply that knowledge to strategic decision making.
Scalability
As the business evolves, the company can add more types of flows to the archive process, and thus more tables to everteam.archive, further taking advantage of storage cost savings and leveraging its confidence in the archiving process.
Search
If anything, the company archived data is more accessible than it was in native applications. Consistent data tables and format in everteam.archive allows the data to be searched faster and smarter, and allows for connections to be made between data that originally was from different systems.
