An enterprise management system includes transaction/analytic applications and an archiving system in which data object lifecycles are pre-computed when the data object is created by the transaction application or analytic application. Having pre-computed the data lifecycle via the transaction/analytic applications, an archiving system need not re-determine whether the criteria for archiving are met. When the archiving system is initiated, the archiving system may identify the data objects having lifecycle dates that match the current date and archive them directly.
