— How we do it
A whole new way to archive
Archived data is more important now than ever before. Ease of access to archive data has traditionally been overlooked in favor of other data retention rules and policies. That tradition ends now!
With APIX you can maintain intuitive access to your historical data without any compromises. APIX delivers the look and functionality of your application in a read-only, secure and serverless web interface that complies with all your data retention rules.

— What it does
Lawson Application Archive
Most Lawson customers have either moved to Infor CloudSuite or to another application and are finding out that maintaining a legacy Lawson application can be quite costly and cumbersome.
APIX has made it incredibly easy for Lawson customers to archive their entire application within 30 days and completely decommission Lawson forever. We have helped many Lawson version 9 and 10 customers move to APIX and instantly realize hundreds of thousands of dollars in savings.

The Process
APIX application archive is an end-to-end solution. We handle every bit of the archival process for you so you can ensure your data is being handled with best practices in mind.
Step 1
We migrate the client’s data to a cloud database and validate it in every possible dimension.
Step 2
We deploy the APIX serverless solution to the client’s own cloud and secure it with our 30 point security framework.
Step 3
We integrate the solution with the client’s Active Directory so client users can get access with their own enterprise identity.

Use Cases
ERP Change – Most of our customers have changed ERP systems and were only able to take 1-2 years of data to the new system. This is a very typical scenario because taking more than 2 years of history can prove to be very cumbersome. APIX hosts all the history in a lightweight, user accessible cloud environment for as long as necessary.
Sale or divestiture – In many cases, our clients have sold off and separated a part of their company into another entity. The new entity needs access to the historical data but does not necessarily want to take on the heavy cost of the legacy ERP application. APIX stores all the relevant historical data for the new entity without the need for the ERP system itself. Users will continue to have uninterrupted access to the historical data for as long as needed.
Termination – In cases where an entity is terminated, access to historical data may still be required for legal and compliance reasons. APIX is the perfect solution for storing this data in a report ready and inquiry only format. With custom data retention rules, and reliable long term storage plans, APIX is the clear choice for long term ERP archival success.
— Frequently Asked
FAQ
Q: Where does the data get stored?
A: We migrate 100% of your ERP data to your own AWS cloud. The data is stored in a relational database for as long as your business case requires.
Q: Is AWS our only option? Why?
A: Yes, at this time AWS is the only cloud platform for APIX. APIX is built on a serverless stack of technologies only available from AWS. This is why the overall hosting costs of the APIX product is less than $2000/yr.
Q: How do users log into the APIX application?
A: APIX uses SAML integration with the client’s own Azure Active Directory. This means that users use their own network credentials to log into APIX. APIX does not store user information or passwords. This way, when a user leaves your organization, they automatically lose access to the APIX application.
Q: Can we access the data directly?
A: The database is hosted in your own AWS account. By default we limit the access to this data only through the application. However, if a client chooses to, they can provide users with direct database access for reporting and inquiry purposes. This access should be read-only access and may affect application performance.
Q: Can you host custom data within the APIX application?
A: Yes. APIX can host any and all data within your database schema. Ask your APIX representative how APIX can help store your custom data.
Q: How long does the average project take to complete?
A: The APIX team handles all stages of your implementation project. We migrate and validate your data, we set up your cloud environment, and we deploy and configure the APIX application. All you have to do is perform testing to ensure your expectations are met. This project takes 30 days from start to finish provided that all our pre-requisites are met from the start.
