InfoArchive is unique to our archiving product line because it has the ability to ingest any type of electronic information. This includes any record, file, email, image, or other information type, including:
- Structured—e.g. data from ERP systems represented in columns and rows
- Semi-Structured—e.g. content that has metadata providing classification information
- Unstructured—e.g. content that does not have a pre-defined data model or is not organized in a pre-defined manner; text files and documents, sensor data, images, emails, social media data, server, website, and application logs, and more
Other Differentiators for InfoArchive
- Being application and system neutral, providing the customer with the advantage of not having to maintain or use the source application to access or analyze the information.
- Not replicating the information silos of the IT architecture that it ingests. For the customer, this eliminates the barriers of consolidating information as well as delivering critical visibility and analytics capabilities across all information on a single platform.
- Providing regulatory and governance controls applicable to all industries. InfoArchive customers can trust that all their compliance needs—such as multiple retention, disposition, holds, etc.—are met.
These unique differentiators make InfoArchive ideal for use cases such as Application Retirement and Active Archiving of business-complete data. When used in these scenarios, InfoArchive significantly reduces risk by improving compliance and access to legacy and business-complete data, all while offering significant IT infrastructure cost savings, particularly with the retirement of legacy applications.
The new release of InfoArchive greatly enhances its key differentiators and strengthens its main use cases. The enhancements for EP4 are delivered in two categories: New features to the InfoArchive platform, and Solution Accelerators in the form of connected OpenText technologies.
