The Hidden Costs of Legacy Archiving
For IT leaders, managing archives has never been more complex—or more expensive. As businesses generate vast amounts of data across email, collaboration tools, and messaging apps, legacy archive solutions often struggle to keep up. What’s worse, they come with skyrocketing costs, unpredictable pricing models, and operational inefficiencies that drain IT budgets.
We regularly hear from IT teams facing challenges like:
✅ Unpredictable storage expenses – Many legacy platforms use rigid, volume-based pricing models, leading to unexpected costs as data volumes grow.
✅ High operational overhead – IT teams spend countless hours managing and maintaining outdated systems instead of focusing on innovation.
✅ Managing multiple archives – Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) often leave businesses juggling multiple archiving platforms, creating inefficiencies and security risks.
✅ Complex migrations and vendor lock-in – Many vendors charge hefty exit fees or make it difficult to migrate data, leaving organizations feeling trapped.
These issues don’t just impact the IT team—they create financial and compliance risks for the entire organization. So why continue paying for a system that no longer serves your needs?

A Modern Archive Becomes a Strategic Asset

🔹 Scalable – Adapts to your evolving data needs without massive infrastructure investments.
🔹 Cost-Predictable – Provides transparent pricing models, so you can budget effectively without worrying about storage overages or hidden fees.
🔹 Effortless to Manage – Reduces IT overhead by automating governance, retention policies, and compliance workflows.
🔹 Unified and Flexible – Allows you to consolidate multiple archives, eliminating redundancies while ensuring all business communications—emails, Teams, Slack, WhatsApp, and more—are captured in one place.
🔹 AI-Ready and Data-Driven – Acts as a trusted source of data for AI and analytics tools, enabling seamless integration with Microsoft Power BI, Apache Superset, Tableau, Snowflake, and Databricks.
