Archiving and Purging

Data management has become increasingly important as businesses face compliance issues in the wake of legislation, such as HIPAA and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, that regulates how organizations must deal with particular types of data. Data management experts stress that data life cycle management is not a product, but a comprehensive approach to managing an organization's data, involving procedures and practices as well as applications.

An effective data lifecycle plan consists of a comprehensive approach of applying policies to effectively manage data from its creation and initial storage to the time when it becomes obsolete and is deleted. SageLogix will work with your team to help you define, collect, and document those business requirements and rules that will determine your data's lifecycle. Using those requirements and rules, SageLogix will implement a plan that leverages Oracle's standard E-business archive and purge programs where possible. SageLogix will also develop code to fill any gaps between your policies and Oracle's standard programs.

SageLogix can also perform an application and database data lifecyle assessment:

Application Assessment:  The goal of this service is to identify areas where the amount of data being produced by your applications can be reduced and to identify additional areas where data lifecycle policies should be defined and executed.

Database Assessment: The goal of this service is to identify optimal storage parameters, to reduce the amount of data being produced by your database, and to identify data that can be immediately archived, purged, re-organized, or compressed.
