Challenges

Legacy Applications Cost Your Business Millions in Unnecessary Overhead

Legacy applications are more than just outdated technology—they drain your resources. These dormant systems lock up critical data, create operational inefficiencies, increase infrastructure and licensing costs, and escalate your exposure to security and regulatory risks (GDPR, CCPA, FINRA). Meanwhile, your business needs agility, cost-efficiency, and easy access to historical data for compliance and analytics.

The pressure to modernize is real—but losing historical data isn’t an option. Solix Application Retirement is architected specifically to eliminate these burdens, secure your critical information, and preserve access—empowering you to modernize fearlessly.

The Solution

Reduce Infrastructure Overhead With Solix Application Retirement

SOLIX Application Retirement and Decommissioning enables organizations to rationalize their application portfolio and streamline operations, reducing infrastructure costs and technical debt. SOLIX application retirement as-a-service helps organizations transition from complex, on-prem legacy applications to a modern SaaS-based approach with centralized data retention, robust connectors, metadata management, and advanced reporting—all on a secure, compliant platform.

The self-funding model: With Solix, every application you retire not only cuts costs and reduces risk but also helps the solution pay for itself. The more applications you retire, the more cost savings and efficiency gains you achieve. Decommissioning legacy systems frees up valuable resources and lowers maintenance expenses, creating a self-funding cycle where ongoing savings cover and even exceed the cost of the platform—turning retirement into a revenue-positive strategy.
