Core questions about DataQwik and data archiving

What is data archiving and why is it important?

Data archiving is the process of securely storing inactive or legacy data while keeping it accessible for compliance, audits, and future use. It reduces costs, ensures compliance, and future-proofs data for analytics.

Yes. By default, we migrate and archive data from your current systems. For clients who need ongoing or near real-time data capture, we offer optional API integrations.

What industries benefit most from DataQwik?
