The Challenge
TTI encountered difficulties in managing their unoptimized database as their company grew over the years. The lack of archiving on their existing database led to increasing issues. Recognizing the need to address the growing size and implement effective governance strategies, the team sought to streamline their database and future-proof the company.
However, concerns arose regarding the potential impact of the data archiving process on the daily report extraction conducted by employees using the production system.
