ERP data maintenance, understanding what data needs to be stored where and for how long, is becoming a critical skill for system administrators. The cost of ignoring database management is high: unmanaged data growth can lead to slower systems response time, longer operations for system admins and increased costs. Archiving is far more than a technical afterthought; It’s a strategic imperative. This session explores the nuanced world of data maintenance and archiving, drawing on real-world scenarios and lessons learned from large-scale implementations by two Microsoft data practitioners. We’ll demystify the different types of archiving scenarios, from sequential to flexible approaches, and examine why intentional planning is critical for success. Participants will learn how to: - Identify what data truly needs to be retained and why. - Learn that cleanup routines are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to data maintenance and effective storage use - Avoid common pitfalls, such as archiving for the sake of storage savings without considering compliance, reporting, or business continuity. - Visualize and design a holistic archiving strategy that fits both operational and analytical needs. - Understand the impact of archiving on downstream reporting, compliance, and AI-readiness. Whether you’re wrestling with terabytes of legacy data or designing an Agentic ERP, this session will equip you with practical frameworks and actionable insights to “color” your data strategy with clarity and confidence.
