Legacy archives drain budgets, stall cloud momentum, and heighten compliance risk. Executives need a defensible, policy‑driven approach that consolidates historical data, preserves business context, and streamlines access for audit, eDiscovery, and analytics—without keeping costly systems alive or purging critical records. By standardizing retention and decommissioning legacy apps, you cut operational overhead, reduce legal exposure, and accelerate transformation—keeping governance tight while freeing teams to focus on growth.
1. What Is a Compliant Archive and Why It Matters Now
A clear, practical breakdown of what defines a truly compliant archive in today’s regulatory landscape, including retention, immutability, auditability, and defensible governance. Understand how modern financial institutions ensure their archived data meets both operational and regulatory expectations.
2. Application Decommissioning vs. Active Archiving: What’s the Difference?
We unpack the misconceptions and clearly define:
- How to reduce risk, cost, and technical debt with the right approach
- When to retire legacy applications (and safely extract their data)
- When to move to an active, compliant archive that continues to deliver live access
3. The Hidden Costs, Risks & Access Challenges Without a Compliant Archive
Explore the real‑world consequences of outdated or informal archiving practices, including:
- Challenges during audits, eDiscovery, and internal investigations
- Regulatory exposure and fines
- Rising storage and infrastructure costs
- The operational drag of inaccessible or siloed data
4. How a Compliant Archive Supports Key Regulations (Including DORA)
A practical look at how modern archiving supports core financial regulations such as:
- DORA (resilience, recoverability, ICT governance)
- FCA/SOX/MiFID II/SEC rules on record‑keeping and communications retention
- Audit readiness, transparency, and long‑term data integrity
You’ll see how compliant archiving underpins both operational resilience and regulatory alignment.
5. Deployment in the Real World: How Organisations Implement This Technology
Walk through the architectures and deployment models used by leading financial institutions, including:
- Ensuring security, scalability, and future‑proofing
- Cloud, hybrid, and on‑prem options
- Migrating from legacy archives
- Integration into existing systems & workflows
6. Live End‑to‑End Demo (Including ETL Process)
A guided demonstration showing how data flows from source systems through ETL into a compliant archive, including:
- Governance and audit features
- Data ingestion and mapping
- Policy application and retention
- Search, access, and reporting
7. Financial Services Case Study
A real example of a financial institution that transformed risk management, reduced cost, and improved audit performance through compliant archiving. We’ll highlight challenges, deployment approach, benefits realised, and lessons learned.
8. Live Q&A
Bring your specific challenges, our experts will answer questions on compliance, deployment, integration, and best practices for the financial services sector
Why Attend
1. Reduce Regulatory & Operational Risk Across the Business
Financial institutions face unprecedented scrutiny and rapidly evolving requirements (FCA, DORA, MiFID II, SEC). This session shows how compliant archiving directly strengthens organisational resilience, reduces exposure to fines, and ensures audit readiness without adding operational burden.
2. Unlock Significant Cost Savings by Retiring Legacy Systems
Most FS organisations overspend on maintaining outdated applications and scattered data silos. Learn how compliant archiving enables safe decommissioning, consolidates data, and cuts infrastructure and storage costs while improving access and control.
3. Improve Decision‑Making Through Better Access to Trusted Data
Executives need fast, reliable access to historical data for investigations, governance, and strategic planning. Discover how a modern archive turns locked‑away data into a compliant, searchable asset that supports transformation, innovation, and long‑term business value.
