While ships and soldiers are often decommissioned after serving their countries, the same can be said for outdated IT and software applications. As innovations in the technological world occur on the daily, programmes often need to be enhanced and replaced on the regular. As a consequence of this, most businesses are storing a great deal of redundant software, often unbeknown to them. While legacy data is often needed for regulation and audits, it can and should be accessed by alternative and more straightforward means.
An IT decommission service can ultimately enhance security, so that old data does not get into the wrong hands, and as an added bonus, can reduce running and service costs and save you a great deal of money in the long run. An IT decommission, when conducted by professionals, ensures the safety of your data and aims to rid servers of unnecessary or redundant software, without deleting it altogether.
When it comes to an IT decommission, you want to ensure that you are choosing a reliable and knowledgeable technician who will not mistakenly delete important data or documents or allow it to be accessed by third parties. This is why you should choose the experts at Fourier IT.

- Relocate said data to a safe and secure data archive, which can be independently and securely accessed with ease

- Erase software from devices and systems so that confidential information does not
