Protecting Dynamics 365 Performance with an External Document Archive

Generated documents can consume a large amount of premium Dynamics 365 database capacity. Moving that archive outside the operational application can reduce storage costs while still giving users convenient access to every document they need.

The Challenge: Premium ERP Storage Is an Expensive Place for an Archive

Invoices, statements, attachments and historic outputs accumulate quickly. Keeping them inside Dynamics 365 increases paid database consumption and can place additional pressure on an environment that should be focused on transactions rather than long-term document storage.

The Lasernet Approach: External Archiving with Lasernet Keep

Lasernet Keep stores the final documents outside Dynamics 365 and links them back to the relevant customer, account or transaction. Users can continue to find and retrieve documents through familiar Dynamics 365 processes, while the high-volume archive grows in storage designed for document retention rather than premium ERP database capacity.

Why It Matters

The benefits are clear:

  • Cost saving: document growth is moved away from expensive Dynamics 365 application storage
  • Performance: the operational database carries less archive overhead as volumes increase
  • Continuity: users retain access to archived documents from their normal Dynamics 365 context

Keep Premium Dynamics Storage for Operational Data

An external Lasernet Keep archive helps organisations control the cost of document growth and protect Dynamics 365 performance without making documents harder for users to retrieve.
