63 Customer References. One Strong Message.
From international corporations to mid-sized businesses, a growing number of companies are trusting AvenDATA to archive their legacy systems in an audit-proof way. Our website now features 63 customer references across a wide range of industries, including well-known names such as Zurich, Symrise, Versuni, Landis+Gyr, Neue Zürcher Zeitung (NZZ), and Paulig.
These companies share a common challenge: historical business data must remain accessible for years to come, while outdated IT systems need to be decommissioned securely, cost-effectively, and in compliance with legal requirements. This is exactly where AvenDATA’s ViewBox archiving solution comes in.
Legacy Systems Cost Money. Decommissioning Them Saves.
Archiving is no longer just an IT task; it has become a strategic business decision. Whether it involves SAP ECC, other ERP systems, or complex legacy applications, keeping outdated systems running indefinitely generates significant costs, ties up IT resources, and adds technical complexity.
Our client stories show how varied the starting points can be and how successfully these challenges can be solved. Landis+Gyr, for example, describes the audit-proof archiving of several SAP ECC systems, while Symrise highlights the professional, solution-oriented collaboration in particular. Versuni, meanwhile, values the pragmatic implementation and close partnership. What all these projects share is the goal of keeping historical data accessible for the long term while simplifying the IT landscape for good.
A Future Without Legacy IT Burdens.
As companies modernize their IT landscapes, roll out cloud strategies, and move to new ERP platforms such as SAP S/4HANA, the structured decommissioning of legacy systems is becoming increasingly important. After all, a legacy system does not need to stay operational simply because its data is still required. With ViewBox, AvenDATA enables companies to separate data retention from system operations. This allows them to streamline IT structures that have grown over many years, reduce ongoing operating and licensing costs, and maintain access to archived business data. As our customers’ experiences show, cost efficiency, compliance, and technological modernization can go hand in hand.
600 Systems. 30 Countries. And counting.
For us, 63 customer references are not a destination but another milestone. With more than 600 systems archived in more than 30 countries, archiving and decommissioning complex enterprise applications is at the core of our business. Our projects range from individual legacy applications to extensive IT landscapes that span multiple countries. The fact that more and more customers are willing to share their experiences publicly is a special mark of trust for us and a strong signal to companies facing similar challenges. We will be publishing additional case studies shortly. We warmly invite existing customers, prospective clients, and IT decision-makers to explore our projects and learn first-hand about our customers’ experiences.
