What Is Solix PeopleSoft Archiving & Retirement?

Solix provides two integrated offerings for PeopleSoft customers:

Application Retirement

Archive legacy PeopleSoft applications while retaining secure, self-service access. Users access archived data via search, forms, saved queries, reports—even after the legacy environment is retired. Features include PeopleSoft‑specific accelerators, print-report archiving, and compliance controls like retention policies, legal holds, and RBAC—all delivered via cloud-scale governance.

Database Archiving for PeopleSoft

Identify and migrate older, lower-value PeopleSoft transactional data from production into a governed cloud archive. Solix supports EBR templates, custom PeopleSoft modules, and ensures seamless data integrity. It enhances application performance, delays costly upgrades, and reduces database maintenance.
