A logistics company has a fleet of 500 handheld scanners used by warehouse staff. The company needs to monitor these devices to prevent theft, track their location, and ensure they are returned at the end of each shift. Which technology is most suitable for this requirement?

Negotiate a contract that includes a service-level agreement (SLA) for uptime and support response times.

Verify that the software vendor supports integration with the company's existing single sign-on (SSO) provider.

Keep the legacy system running in read-only mode for a period of time, and then decommission it without migrating data.

Archive the legacy system's database to a separate storage system, then revoke access and decommission the legacy system.
