Archive Consolidation

"Enterprises today are often faced with multiple content platforms and repositories without a unifying strategy or technology to make the data actionable," said Kenneth Chin, Gartner Research Vice President. "They need the ability to quickly and easily access and repurpose information and make it available through self-service channels."

Managing multiple, disparate archives is a common problem faced by many companies. Archive consolidation is one of the solutions to this problem.

Based on our extensive experience architecting, managing and implementing successful electronic content management projects, Xenos has formed an
Information Architecture Practice, which has implemented many successful archive consolidation projects.

Our archive consolidation projects are staffed by content management subject-matter experts. Our archive consolidation projects typically consist of several stages; developing content management models to repurpose information assets locked in disparate, incompatible archives, transforming them to a common format, as selected by you to meet your business requirements, loading these assets into a common archive and building your consolidated archive.

One of the subject-matter areas of expertise is helping companies to decide whether to consolidate archives into a single new repository, consolidate archives into one of your existing repositories or to leave all of your archives in place but to provide a single federated view into these multiple archives, giving the appearance of a single, consolidated archive.

Actual Successful Archive Consolidation Project

Through various mergers and acquisitions a large US Bank had accumulated numerous disparate archives. The CSR's wanted a single place to be able to view the exact information needed to service their customers instead of having to access each different archive.

The bank chose an archive consolidation solution, whereby all assets from the multiple archives were stored in a single Oracle archive. Xenos provided best practices approaches for this successful archive consolidation project; normalizing document content, storing and versioning resources, dynamic transformation of content to a Web viewable format.
