What should you do with historical and surplus product and change data?

Are you considering a move to Oracle Cloud PLM?

As with any technology migration or implementation, one of your first considerations is data and how you will preserve and move it to a new platform. The same holds true for a migration to a next-generation PLM tool. Moving from one Enterprise PLM platform to another doesn’t require bringing all item and/or change data (i.e., obsolete parts) over nor should it mean losing access to historical product data necessary for audit and data preservation requirements. The balance comes with optimizing and enriching the legacy data carried over to the new platform, while providing access to data not being migrated.

Accelerate your migration with Inspirage’s Agile PLM Archive Utility

The Inspirage Agile PLM Archive Utility does just this with a highly intuitive user interface that’s similarity to Oracle Agile PLM will make it familiar to users. Its easy to navigate user interface allows for minimal training or other non-value-added activities. While addressing concerns around data transfer and archiving, the tool offers the added benefit of eliminating the need to keep and maintain on-premise infrastructure and maintenance expenses for the Agile PLM Platform (i.e., App Server and Database). These time and money saving features make the Agility Archive Utility application one that you will want to leverage for your cloud migration. One of our customers, a leading provider of innovative technology and services for utilities and cities, leveraged Agile PLM Archive Utility for a faster migration to the cloud. They continue to use the tool to save investment in the ongoing management of their Agile PLM infrastructure and have chosen to disable Agile for their end-users.


 

Prepare for your migration to a next-generation PLM platform

It is important to note that often obsolete data is mistakenly moved to new systems resulting in inaccurate and flawed results. So too, excess data can impair your PLM platforms performance, impacting usability, reporting and decision making. If your technology roadmap includes migrating to a next-generation PLM platform, Agile PLM Archive Utility lets you expedite implementation timelines, reduce activities and costs and improve systems performance. By preserving and archiving non-essential product data, Inspirage’s powerful Agile PLM Archive Utility helps you establish the criteria for the data being migrated to your new PLM platform while saving your company money on infrastructure and maintenance.
