Why Database Licenses Drive IT Costs Up in the Manufacturing Industry

Digital transformation in the manufacturing industry presents a significant challenge: Data volumes are growing rapidly, and with this growth, costs are increasing as well. In particular, the long-term archiving of quality data stored in database systems places a heavy burden on the IT budgets of many companies.

Rising Costs Due to Database Licenses

Databases that store historical production data not only incur high licensing costs but also server, maintenance, and administration expenses. This becomes especially problematic as many of these data must be retained for compliance reasons but are rarely used actively. However, these expenses cannot be avoided since the data must continue to be stored in the databases.

Inefficient Access to Archived Data

Another issue is accessing archived data: When needed for audits or product liability cases, retrieving the data is often cumbersome and resource-intensive. Although the data is available, querying it consumes valuable IT resources and generates additional costs.
