Page History

...

• Our database has approximately 141k documents which were last modified between 2009 and 2025.
  (If no later modification occurred, the creation time of a document is the last modification time)
  
  
• We set a retention policy of 4 years (starting at the current date), for which documents have to be retained
  
  
• That results in a retention cutoff date of September 23, 2021 (assuming the current date is September 23, 2025)
  
  
  
• Looking at that history, iDNA summarizes that approximately 115k of documents (~82%) are still inside the retention period
  
  
  
• Customer Organizations benefit immediately by understanding which databases are ready for archiving immediately. Other applications, where not a all of the documents are out of retention obligation, but are nearing 100% may be good candidates to be set to read-only mode. Thereby assuring that no new modifications "reset" the earliest archiving date.
  
  On the flip-side an organization can get insights quickly and transparently as to which applications are still active elements in their business processes from the content angle, rather than iDNA's usual user activity recording. This provides great value in scenarios where iDNA has been running for a shorter period of time and no extensive usage history may be available.
  It also shows which applications may be a challenge when considering migration scenarios. Re-developing an existing application in a new target system is one thing; making sure a decade's worth of data is migrated flawlessly is quite another. Not only has the data to be available in the application itself, it needs to be available to other elements of the business process in a lossless fashion.
