Burdens of archiving

Maintaining legacy systems is challenging and risky

Only the right archiving partner can help you retire legacy systems safely, efficiently and cost effectively.

Legacy operating system footprints continue to grow—and healthcare IT experts say they are an area of rising risk. Security patches and upgrades for older systems often don’t exist; when they do, they take significant time and effort to apply. The results? Increased cybersecurity risks, strain on IT resources, reputation threats and M&A challenges.

3 key burdens

Despite this, healthcare leaders are often slow to retire legacy systems due to the 3 burdens of archiving

Risk

Does the vendor have deep experience with our systems and size?
Does it have proven methodology that shortens time and minimizes mistakes?
Will we be trading security risks you control for risks we can’t?
Will we receive guidance that makes our team smarter?

Cost

Why do we have to incur upfront charges?
Will we have to pay for things we don’t need?
Does archiving a legacy system make economic sense?

Hassle

Do we have to spend time making our data conform to your application & process?
Will our people have to learn another new system?

At LDA, we unburden the risk of healthcare data archiving with expertise you can trust and guidance that makes your team smarter.

Every size. Every geography. From small community hospitals to large, integrated systems, we know the operating systems these organizations rely on and how to eliminate pain points at every turn.
Intuitive product architecture Data is extracted from your platform in any form and transfer it to a system that is easy to navigate—no matter how complex the application.
Battle-tested methodology Our process includes well-defined phases that we manage to and track with your team and a nuanced approach that complements both the operating system and retirement type, with deliverables you can count on.
A safe and secure relationship With monthly standardized patching, weekly security scans and regular security and risk assessments and audits, we protect your data and your reputation.
Making your team smarter Lack of familiarity with internal systems heightens risk, like when IT leaders aren’t sure who owns the data or how complicated it is to access. We share this knowledge with IT leaders and teams at every turn, eliminating uncertainty and empowering action.

LDA removes the mystery from healthcare data archiving, providing your team with a set of flexible, transparent cost options.

AgilePrice: 3 Ways to pay

You choose the plan that is right for you:

Legacy—Standard upfront project fees, monthly pricing and term length, with monthly or annual billing
Hybrid—50% discount on upfront project fees, one-year extension of normal term length, annual billing
Flex—Upfront project fees fully waived, three-year extension of normal term length, annual billing

Fair and transparent pricing
With LDA, you’ll understand the terms, the contract length and the price from the start.
Extras only when you need them
From simple requests like updating fields on screens to creation of ad hoc reports—our options for extras ensure you get the right solution at the right time.

Conforming data is one of the biggest headaches of the archiving process. Not only does it increase the risk for data loss or errors, but it also means your teams have to learn new systems when accessing data archiving. LDA gets that and has a proven process that eases the hassles:

No data mapping. LDA delivers the data in the format you need. This not only frees up bandwidth for your team, but also avoids inevitable data loss that occurs during significant field mapping, which insulates your health system from future risk.
No new systems. We present your data in a screen sequence that emulates the way a user would navigate through the native site. Your team determines the fields they want to see during a consultative session at the start of the project. This avoids wasted time related to training, errors and lack of familiarity with a new application.

Eliminate common archiving mistakes & delays

Mistakes often happen when health systems aren’t sure who owns the data, how complicated it will be to access, and how difficult it will be to extract. Delays stem from uncertainty—about the cutover date to the new system, the actions required before an incumbent vendor will release the data, and more.

At LDA, we put this knowledge to work for you by anticipating these challenges and solving them in partnership with you.
