This includes data handback, destruction of data (if required) and de-commissioning of all servers and resources.
End-of-contract process
EviFile offer an off-boarding service. The data in the eviFile environment belongs to the customer. Customers' data is extracted from the eviFile Data warehouse and is securely available for the customer.

An alternative to off-boarding, at the end of a project, is Archiving. eviFile offer an archiving solution for clients who may need reporting access to their data for a period of time after a project has finished.

The data is migrated from the production environment into a lower maintenance environment in the same data centre, where a limited number of named users have reporting access via a browser based application to the data. Due to varying requirements and legal constraints the length of time that data needs to be held for varies.

Typically, this is 7-11 years. eviFile will liaise with the client company to ascertain the length of time that reporting access to archive data will be needed. The costs for archiving can be provided if required.
