Preserve and Transition Data After an Acquisition

Data preservation after an acquisition can become an important consideration when valuable historical and compliance information remains in HCM, payroll and other legacy systems that your organization does not plan to keep. Nine Peaks Solutions can help extract that information, prepare selected data and documents for transfer into your organization’s systems, preserve information that needs to remain accessible, and help connect historical information to the systems your employees use today.

Move It. Preserve It. Connect to It. Or Combine Approaches.

Every acquisition is different. Some information from an acquired organization’s legacy systems may need to move into the acquiring organization’s current systems. Other historical and compliance information may need to remain accessible without being migrated. In some cases, preserving the information separately while connecting it to the new system may provide the best approach. Nine Peaks Solutions can help determine which combination makes sense for your organization.

Move It

Collect and extract selected legacy data, transform it as necessary, and prepare the new vendor’s supplied import templates for loading into the acquiring organization’s system. Where possible, Nine Peaks Solutions can also extract and prepare document attachments for transfer into the new application.

Preserve It

Keep historical and compliance information that doesn’t need to migrate in Laserfiche or another accessible format so the legacy application can eventually be retired. Preserve documents, data and the information needed to find and understand those records when questions arise in the future.

Connect to It

Store appropriate historical information in Laserfiche while providing access from the organization’s active application. Where appropriate, integrations such as Laserfiche^® Connector can allow employees to access related historical information while working in the system they use every day.

Combine Approaches

Move what belongs in the active system, preserve what should remain historical, and connect the systems where that provides the best user experience. An acquisition does not require a one-size-fits-all approach — different types of information can be handled differently based on business, operational and compliance requirements.

Data Preservation After an Acquisition: More Than HCM and Payroll

Acquisitions can leave organizations responsible for information stored across multiple legacy applications. While HCM and payroll systems are common examples, valuable historical information may also exist in document management, expense management, employee medical records and other business systems.

Nine Peaks Solutions can help identify the information that needs to remain available, determine how it can be collected from legacy applications, and prepare the information for the appropriate destination.
