1 What we do? The next revolution in information technology is migration to what has been labeled as The Third Platform. Following the revolution that was brought about by the introduction of mainframe technology (first platform) and the movement to distributed computing (second platform), the third platform is the convergence and mutual reinforcement of four interdependent trends: social interaction, mobility, cloud, and information (i.e. Big Data? ). Platform 3 Solutions has robust capability that enables organizations to transform their current legacy and distributed technology platforms to this third platform. Our services include: Portfolio Rationalization and Platform Modernization Consulting Enterprise Content Management (ECM) Consulting Application Decommissioning Services

3 Enterprise Content Management (ECM) Consulting 1. Do you have an overall archival strategy for your company s data? Is the strategy current and is it being followed? 2. Is the data within your information systems being archived on a schedule that meets legal and regulatory requirements? 3. Is your archived data being stored on the most inexpensive media possible? 4. Is archived data being purged consistent with company policy? 5. Does the lack of effective archival management cause performance issues for your applications? Enterprise content can be managed to drive specific business value, operational efficiencies and future business objectives. Typically organizations develop IT systems, system architecture and data architecture for current business needs. As business grows, the IT systems lacks flexibility to maintain active data and content effectively. This results in performance and stability issues and an ongoing increase in operational costs. Platform 3 Solutions provides consulting services to develop and implement a comprehensive content management strategy based on our customer s business needs. Our consulting services include: 1. Establishment of an ECM strategy/road map

4 2. Alignment of long-term business growth and scalability requirements 3. Establishment of corporate information governance, architecture and security 4. Focused strategies for the management of structured and unstructured data 5. Identification and leverage of leading ECM products and tools 6. Implementation of ongoing archival solutions to minimize application performance and stability issues and reduce ongoing operational costs Application Decommissioning Services 1. Is the decommissioning of your applications proceeding according to plan? 2. Do you need to maintain systems (infrastructure, products, applications) and subject matter expertise to support decommissioned applications? 3. Do your decommissioned applications support all regulatory and legal compliance requirements? 4. Is your overall company approach for decommissioning the most effective and efficient? 5. Could your company benefit from a capability that allows you to shut down your legacy applications completely while still meeting all legal, regulatory and business needs during the runout period? Many companies are faced with changing technology landscape in the marketplace to accommodate emerging platform 3 technologies such as cloud and mobile and

5 this demands modernization of their existing platform or decommissioning of their legacy platform of applications. Platform 3 Solutions provides an application decommissioning service that delivers a comprehensive solution. Our solution includes working with business partners and IT stakeholders to develop a decommissioning roadmap and an implementation plan includingdelivery of functional and data migration services from source application to target application. Platform 3 Solutions also develops and implements capabilities to perform business runout functions accommodating any business dependency requirements, customer service, legal and audit requirements. Platform 3 Solutions ensures performance of data archival by leveraging market leading products such as EMC s InfoArchive and developing custom solutions to meet customer requirements. In addition, the establishment of process and procedures for accelerated decommissioning of applications and facilitation of hardware decommissioning drives a faster time to market for new products with significant operational cost savings. We understand that every customer s decommissioning requirements are different and we work closely with our customers to develop solutions. Data archival is the most important and critical step in

6 decommissioning as it ensures that the data is safely stored and can be accessed in reduced cost storage while the more expensive legacy systems can be decommissioned and the resources supporting the legacy systems repurposed for more strategic efforts. This is also the most complex step as we have to ensure that the data is transferred in an immutable fashion while all referential integrity is maintained and there is no data loss during the transformation. We also have to consider the type of data archival and the cost associated with the archival during the retention period.
