Top 10 Benefits Of Using DataArchiva For Salesforce Data Archiving
Data holds a position of paramount importance in the modern business landscape.  Even though Salesforce has strict restrictions on how many records are processed, managed, and stored in the org-bound, limited data storage space, keeping the storage optimized does not always require erasing the previous app data from the system. Further, it can draw critical consequences like a violation of data retention rules & compliances, resulting in hefty fines.  According to IDC, organizations expect to experience 30–40% data growth annually1 hence, it’s unavoidable. Therefore, there is always a scope to strategize, plan and set up robust storage management processes like data archiving to exercise good data practices while keeping data accessible yet compliant. Or, by integrating robust data management tools that align your Salesforce with enterprise-led or compliance-driven long-term data retention goals. Let’s try to understand the need for data archiving in Salesforce a little better. The following Salesforce data arching use case will help us to understand; how enterprises like MarthaCaps can benefit from automating Salesforce data archiving processes with DataArchiva and how it helped the organization’s storage management difficulties while operating in Salesforce Service Cloud. Say hello to MarthaCaps. A leading investment banking firm, headed by Martha Brinks, present-day Managing Director, runs cloud consulting services using Salesforce Service Cloud. In the worsening times of financial uncertainty, bringing in new clients is becoming harder than ever, and MarthaCaps is soon to reach the steep. Customers are facing financial hardships and jobs are in jeopardy; so Martha had to step in. She believes that turning an empathic eye to recognize the current financial constraints of her clients will help to recover risk-averse investors while assuring service loyalty for its clients. MarthaCaps difficulties in Salesforce Service Cloud for data growth
As an immediate action, Martha trusted Lisa Raymond, her Salesforce platform manager, to fetch the past 5 years’ Salesforce data on the customer journey. This is to know how often they have interacted or availed of services from MarthaCaps. Lisa soon recalled that she had recently unloaded a chunk of Salesforce records and moved it to ‌ secondary storage. And, the archived records can only be fetched by API calls and would take a long time. While bringing back the archived data into the current production instance will be another task. Business decisions can never go pending if you have your Salesforce data waiting in the wings. So what would MarthaCaps need to overcome their archiving difficulties in Salesforce? Let’s follow it up in bullets – 
  • An archiving app with easy restoration as a feature
  • A search console for their archived data
  • A robust archiving engine that can bring back archived Salesforce data to a live instance, without moving the cheese.
