- (1888PressRelease) September 23, 2010 - SAN FRANCISCO, CA - Solix EDMS 5.0 enables customers to cost-effectively manage their enterprise application portfolio with advancements that provide end-to-end solution to retire or de-commission legacy applications with quick Return on Investment (ROI).
According to Jim Duggan, Gartner's, Research VP, "Applications often outlive their usefulness, as their functions are duplicated, improved upon or replaced in other applications. Changes in business processes, architectures or operational needs may render an application obsolete. Standardization or modernization efforts may shift users to other solutions. In samples we've examined, up to 10% of the applications have been candidates for immediate retirement. An additional one-third can benefit from migration or rationalization."
