Company Data Archive

Company Data Archive, shortened to CDA, is an add-on for Microsoft Dynamics GP. It lets an organisation move historical information out of its live company and into a separate archive company.

Professional Advantage, which builds extensions for Microsoft Dynamics platforms, offers the product. It is aimed at firms whose GP databases have grown large over many years.

What Company Data Archive offers

• Data transfer — shifts old records from the live company to an archive company.
• Smaller live database — improves speed when posting, running reports and doing file maintenance.
• Faster upgrades — a lighter database helps GP upgrades.
• Cleaner reports — removes clutter from enquiries and reports.
• Historical access — old data stays viewable in the archive company.
• Hardware savings — reduces hardware requirements.

Who it works with

Organisations using Microsoft Dynamics GP, including those preparing a move to Business Central who want to archive data first.
