Organizations can minimize the impact of large data volumes by upgrading the server and storage environments or deleting data from the system. However, wholesale deletion of data from production does not comply with legal and regulatory requirements for long-term data retention. To maintain performance of archiving in PeopleSoft while ensuring compliance, organizations must assess data volume for each given modules or the sum total of the PeopleSoft Application database.
Test data management is a strategy for organizations to manage their test and development processes to meet application development and testing requirements, streamline cloning processes and secure data so organizations are equipped to deliver the clones needed to meet upgrade and patch cycles and maintain data security.
Information Lifecycle Management solutions are designed to help enterprises manage data growth by providing the tools classify, archive and migrate data to improve application performance and reduce administrative overhead and infrastructure costs.
Data that has been relocated after classification is protected from redundant searches or data addition. This helps in maintaining integrity and reduces the strain on database servers. When a quarterly or yearly trend analysis is performed, it allows for convenient data purging also. Automation of archiving and purging is available as data archiving solutions. They can be used by multiple projects at the same time and data retrieval is very convenient.

Enterprise class business applications require multiple copies be made to support test data management processes such as patch, test, QA, and training. Most companies make 6-8 full size clones for every production application, not only wasting storage and time in cloning but potentially exposing sensitive application data to the test environment. Database masking provides companies with a centralized solution to manage the test data management process for clone creation, productivity and data security.
Enterprise data management provides the data management framework for all enterprise applications and databases including database cloning, sub setting and data masking to allow organizations to protect data in non-production environments while reducing infrastructure costs and improving development cycles.
Data archiving ensures database performance is optimized for the business need while creating savings in storage and data maintenance activities. Users of Oracle E-Business Suite, Baan, Oracle JD Edwards, Oracle PeopleSoft, Siebel and more benefit a great deal by enterprise data archiving.
Test data management tool manages multiple applications and data types across at hardware platforms through a unified policy manager. Application retirement is the best solution for doing away with disused applications as they expend a lot of resources, storage etc while benefiting the organization very little.
Data auditing provides enterprises with the tools to classify data based on its sensitivity, define policies at the database level that determine how that data should be managed, and automatically monitors and logs any changes to application data.

Application sunsetting and migration tool utilizes an archive engine of enterprise data management instead of traditional ETL tools. This allows faster, seamless, and controlled data migration while implementing information lifecycle management by storing current data on high availability storage tiers, historical data on cheaper storage tiers and the data that is no longer needed to be accessed online, is stored in offline storage such as optical, magnetic, and similar media.
Data migration is a metadata based tool that allows companies to map metadata between applications and create conversion rules for faster and seamless data migration. It acts as an efficient project accelerator for migrations of any nature.
