Call recordings don’t just capture conversations – they capture context, compliance and accountability. In highly regulated sectors, legacy call data supports auditing, dispute resolution, legal defence and even agent training.
But legacy data often means legacy systems. Older systems were never designed to handle modern compliance demands. They’re expensive to maintain, difficult to access and risky to rely on.
That’s why so many organisations are looking to migrate legacy call data to cloud platforms. It’s a smart move for long-term resilience, but one that can raise issues along the way.
In this blog, we’ll cover why migrating to the cloud matters, common migration challenges, and how you can approach it securely, compliantly and with minimal disruptions to your business.
Why move legacy data to the cloud?
Cloud migration isn’t just a tech upgrade. It’s a strategic shift towards better compliance, visibility and control. Here’s what makes the move worthwhile:
Better compliance and access
From GDPR to the Data Protection Act, FCA regulations and more, businesses are under pressure to manage call data responsibly. That means being able to store, locate and delete recordings securely and quickly.
Cloud platforms offer the control and visibility legacy systems lack – reducing your risk, keeping you audit-ready and giving teams a reliable way to meet compliance demands.
Less data sprawl, more control
Over time, recordings spread across systems, formats and vendors. That fragmentation makes it hard to manage, increases risk and slows down your team.
Moving to one centralised cloud system removes that sprawl, replacing siloed systems with one secure platform.
Room to grow
Legacy systems weren’t built to scale. Cloud platforms expand with your business, without adding physical infrastructure or locking you into specific vendors.
Built-in security
Cloud-native storage offers the kinds of security features legacy systems can’t: end-to-end encryption, role-based access, audit trails and automatic backup. That means stronger data protection, with less manual effort.
Lower long-term costs
Legacy storage is expensive to maintain, especially when it involves outdated servers, multiple vendors or manual retrieval. Migrating to a modern platform simplifies your setup and reduces costs over time.
Common migration challenges – and why they’re worth solving
Even when cloud migration makes strategic sense, the process can feel complicated. Here are some typical challenges businesses run into, and why addressing them now pays off.
- Fragmented infrastructure: Multiple recording tools, vendors and file formats make it hard to unify your data. But the longer you delay, the messier it becomes.
- Large volumes of data: Decades of recordings can feel overwhelming to sort and migrate. But leaving them scattered puts you at risk of loss, compliance issues and missed insights.
- Compliance risks: Sensitive data mishandled during migration can lead to breaches or fines. A secure migration approach helps you avoid these pitfalls.
- Limited internal resources: IT teams are stretched thin and migration gets pushed down the list – but doing nothing only leads to the problem growing.
- Fear of disruption: Teams worry about downtime or lost access. But sticking with old systems causes just as much disruption in the long run.
