## Application Retirement

### Decommission Legacy & End-of-Life Systems

Retire unsupported workforce management and HCM applications while maintaining secure access to historical employee, payroll, document, report, and workforce data - reducing infrastructure costs, minimizing security risks, and ensuring long-term compliance.

Instead of maintaining aging applications simply to access historical records, organizations can securely retire legacy systems, reduce infrastructure costs, eliminate software licensing, and simplify ongoing IT operations, all while preserving the historical information their business depends on.

## Transitioning to a New Workforce Management or HCM Platform

### Preserve Historical Data During Workforce System Implementation

Every workforce platform implementation is different. You may be replacing an end-of-life application, switching software vendors, modernizing your workforce technology, or retiring a legacy system following a merger or acquisition.

We understand that offboarding your previous system is often one of the final and most time-sensitive steps of implementation. primeARCHIVE helps organizations quickly preserve historical workforce data so legacy applications can be retired on schedule without compromising access to critical records. Perfect for implementation partners and organizations completing workforce technology modernization projects.
