Oracle System Decommissioning: Retire NetSuite, JD Edwards, and PeopleSoft
Safeguard your data. Retain critical analytics. Stay compliant.
Retire every Oracle legacy system in your landscape, from JD Edwards to NetSuite, with a proven and structured decommissioning approach. TSX-listed companies and other Canadian enterprises rely on AvenDATA to permanently secure their critical enterprise data. You reduce maintenance and licence costs while meeting CRA record-keeping requirements across even your most complex financial and manufacturing processes.
The Challenge
You face a difficult dilemma: your obsolete Oracle legacy systems (including NetSuite, JD Edwards World, JD Edwards OneWorld, Oracle Financials, Oracle Retail, and PeopleSoft) continue to consume large budgets while delivering no operational value.
The root cause: you have to keep these environments running solely to meet CRA record-keeping requirements, comply with statutory data retention rules, and pass internal and external audits.
This legacy system trap leads to a series of operational problems:
- Cloud Contract Bleed: expensive, mandatory renewals for cloud services you no longer use
- On-Premises Paralysis: aging infrastructure and a heavy maintenance burden
- Ghost Licensing: ongoing licence fees for systems that are no longer in active use
- Tied Up IT Resources: skilled internal staff stuck on dead end maintenance instead of strategic projects
- Escalating Security Threats: unsupported software versions that expose your organization to significant risk
- Operational Bottlenecks: complex administration of historical data environments that limits your scalability
- Migration Roadblocks: extensive custom developments that complicate the retirement of your legacy systems
The Ultimate Result: TSX-listed companies and global enterprises lose significant capital year after year maintaining platforms that exist solely for legal compliance, slowing their digital transformation and eroding enterprise value.

Your Oracle Analytics Live On as Actionable Reports
in ViewBox
We do more than simply extract data from your NetSuite, JD Edwards, Oracle Financials, PeopleSoft, or Oracle Retail environments. We make sure you can continue to use and trace this critical information in ViewBox, our industry-standard platform.
Our capabilities include:
- Accurate replication of essential Oracle standard reports and business analytics
- Custom implementation of bespoke reports, including NetSuite Saved Searches and JD Edwards Universal Batch Engine (UBE) reports
- Complete archiving of all relevant source documents (invoices, orders, accounting records, etc.) to ensure full report traceability
Well before your decommissioning project begins, we work with you to identify the exact reports you need to meet CRA requirements, support business analyses, and comply with legal data retention obligations. You benefit from our extensive experience retiring legacy systems across diverse Oracle architectures and industry solutions.
In ViewBox, you can search, analyze, and evaluate these interactive reports for years after your legacy system has been retired, completely independent of your former Oracle environment.
Whether you are facing CRA audits, internal investigations, or legal disputes, you stay in control with clearly structured, filterable reports available 24/7, without the need for expensive Oracle licences or ongoing maintenance of the original system.
Rapid Execution & Massive Economic Value
(Measurable ROI)
even for large scale Oracle systems
Decommissioning your Oracle legacy system typically takes one to six months, depending on architectural complexity and data volume. We use a highly standardized methodology to archive even the largest enterprise Oracle environments efficiently and securely.
For example, we have successfully migrated Oracle environments exceeding 15 terabytes (TB) into ViewBox, our industry-standard platform. Throughout the transition, all critical analytics, bespoke reports, and documentation were fully preserved, ensuring lasting audit readiness and CRA compliance.
With this proven approach, TSX-listed companies and global enterprises achieve immediate and significant financial benefits. You reduce maintenance costs by eliminating licence fees for Oracle (including NetSuite and JD Edwards), ECM systems, databases, and operating systems, while significantly lowering infrastructure costs and the workload on your internal staff.

System Analysis
The first step in retiring any Oracle legacy system, whether NetSuite, JD Edwards, or PeopleSoft, is a thorough analysis of your existing architecture.
This analysis forms the basis of your decommissioning roadmap. It gives you full transparency on project timelines, the scope of data involved, and the exact investment required to permanently secure your Oracle landscape.
We carefully evaluate your technical and operational architecture, including:
- Access Options for your current Oracle environment
- Database Architecture, including the type, structure, and size of your core records
- Scope and Relevance of your existing reports (including custom Saved Searches and UBE reports)
- System Customizations, such as user-defined queries, specialized interfaces, and organization-specific configurations
To give you full decision-making authority and planning certainty during this critical transition, we deliver our findings as a binding fixed-price proposal. TSX-listed companies and global enterprises rely on this approach to reduce litigation risk and support CRA compliance from the very start of their Oracle decommissioning.

Decommissioning Project Execution
Following the system analysis, we launch your decommissioning project, driven by a clear structure and defined milestones.
We start with a kickoff meeting to align your team on all organizational and technical requirements. From that point on, our experts take over operational responsibility:
- Set up secure access to your legacy Oracle environment
- Extract and migrate all relevant enterprise records
- Replicate your essential standard reports and custom queries (including complex Saved Searches and UBE reports)
- Produce complete, audit-ready documentation to support long term CRA compliance
Our senior project managers lead the transition from start to finish, so you can stay focused on your core business objectives while significantly reducing the workload on your internal IT team.
To complete the project, we carry out structured testing and formal sign-off phases. This ensures every enterprise record is permanently secured, fully usable, and audit-ready, while helping you lower maintenance costs and reduce litigation risk.

Decommissioning Outcomes
On project completion, we migrate all relevant tables, legal documents, and key enterprise reports from your NetSuite or JD Edwards environment into ViewBox, our industry-standard platform.
ViewBox is a web-based data discovery platform. It gives your authorized personnel fast, secure, and fully traceable access to your archived enterprise information for decades after your Oracle legacy system has been retired. Data is protected by secure encryption and role-based permissions.
Your key advantage: we rebuild all critical standard analytics and individual custom reports (including complex Saved Searches and UBE reports). This means you can continue to run essential analyses and maintain CRA compliance while eliminating Oracle licence fees entirely.
Once ViewBox has been successfully deployed and formally signed off, you can permanently decommission your Oracle environment and eliminate its maintenance costs.
At project closure, we deliver a complete, audit-ready documentation package. It records every phase of the project to provide full transparency on:
- The architecture and methodology of your data migration
- The mapping of all archived content within ViewBox
- The structured testing and final acceptance phases
In addition, we log every project milestone in our secure Jira ticketing system. From the initial data export through final sign-off to the deletion of your source system, we maintain a complete, unbroken audit trail. This gives TSX-listed companies and global enterprises lasting audit readiness and full transparency for internal and third-party auditors.
