Thanks for checking in!
I am Colin Cecil, an IT professional with 30+ years of experience. Grew up in England but have been living in the New Jersey for over 25 years. I’ve worked for Merck & Co. in the IT division since moving to New Jersey and have supported many different business functions over the years.
The blog focuses on the work that I have been doing for the last 8 years which relates to the retirement of IT applications and the archiving of their data.
Managing Data from a Retiring Application
Any time data needs to be archived there is a failure of data governance.
Running Out The Clock
When does it make sense to let a legacy application continue to run in the production landscape?
The Backup Fallacy
Why database backups are not a sustainable substitute for an archiving process.
Accessing the Data Archives
Should a Product Owner retain direct access to archived data? Centralized archived data management versus broad access.
