Most organizations accumulate archive technologies over time. Tape, disk, cloud buckets, and legacy platforms coexist, but rarely work together. This fragmentation increases operational risk, inflates costs, and leaves valuable content effectively stranded.

WorkflowConnect unifies these environments into one continuous archive workflow. Content moves automatically from production to nearline to archive based on defined policies. Cloud platforms are used strategically rather than reflexively. Legacy systems remain searchable and accessible while modernization happens on your timeline—not a vendor’s.

The result is lower archive storage costs, reduced cloud egress fees, and dramatically less risk of lost or inaccessible content. Archives shift from passive storage liabilities to active, searchable, creative, and business assets.

Modernizing data protection and archive workflows does not need to be a one-way expense. As organizations transition to more efficient systems, aging or underutilized infrastructure often continues to consume power, space, and maintenance budgets.

Scale Service’s IT Asset Disposition (ITAD) offering helps studios recover value from legacy equipment through responsible resale, recycling, and secure data destruction. Recovered value offsets new investments. Secure disposition reduces operational and compliance risk. Environmentally responsible recycling supports sustainability and ESG goals.

In many cases, ITAD transforms modernization from a purely cost-center function into a partially self-funded initiative.
