Our organization was acquired by a much larger company which is moving us onto their systems. We are on Lawson applications v9.0.1 with HR Suite, Financials, and Procurement / Inventory / MSCM. The new company has their own Lawson system onto which we will be moving, we are expecting to move to their accounting system, and we have already moved onto their HR system. Our existing Lawson system is remotely hosted.
What can we do to retain meaningful access to our data for historical retention requirements, auditing, and such things? Just saving the tables is not much of a help because so much of the data is relational, making it complicated at best and impossible at worst to generate information that might be requested. If we were hosted 'in-house' we could just keep the server around and fire it up for any future needs, but we don't have the server. There would be no need for support or upgrades, just the ability to access the data which would be much better via Lawson's reports and screens than a plethora of tables.
I spoke with one vendor whose 'solution' allows some amount of more convenient access but he was talking in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Has anyone been down this road and can share some info? Thanks. Read More
