YOUR IT NEEDS

Migrate and enhance your data reliability

Background

Migrating data is transferring it from an old environment to a new system based on entirely different management rules and data model.

In limited time and budget, you shall have to populate the new structures in accordance with their own integrity rules.

Migrating data to a new system or software package without interrupting operations is a real, complex often under-estimated project.

  • Only a few staff know how to handle the source system and most of the time they are very busy working on the target system
  • You have a moving target as changes can be made to the target data model to reduce functional gaps

New systems are usually less permissive. They require high quality data and information that may not be managed ―or were mismanaged― in the source system, making it necessary to enrich and scrub data, while having a strong commitment from [project] management.

Thanks to our experience in migration projects, we developed a high value-added offer for our customers. It relies on a well honed methodology, powerful migration tools (migration-oriented ETLs and CASE tools) and expertise, which help us meet our commitments in price, time and data quality. It is now a proven methodology on many large-scale projects.

The most advanced on the market, our technology was selected in the latest tenders for data migration after a fierce competition.

Methodology and data migration tools

It is very difficult and expensive to get migration and data scrubbing rules right the first time, especially if:

  • The target data model evolves during the project
  • Key resources are not available enough
  • You have forgotten management rules
  • You have to learn about the target system at the same time
  • Migration rules depend on settings that are not entirely completed
  • Etc.

We therefore built our technology to make it easy, reliable and cost-effective to change migration rules. Our iterative approach can take into account the developments of the source and the target systems and use the first results of the data transfer to hone and enrich the specification repository.

A migration-oriented ETL and engineering environment, our software suite carries out several tasks in an integrated way. It:

  • Controls the data repository (migration and data scrubbing rules)
  • Generates multi-platform programs
  • Controls returns to assess and monitor data transfer

Specifications are based on business rules and help identify and cleanse source data that do not match the rules. Data transformation programmes are generated by our suite. The code is compatible with many efficient environments (7 to 10 times faster than programs or ETLs based on SQL).

You can monitor operations in real time thanks to the progress indicators from our suite and the functional and technical meters we put at your disposal to assess the migration.

Applications

You are migrating data, integrating software packages, implementing an ERP system (SAP, PeopleSoft, etc.), populating a data warehouse or a web platform. Choose our migration offer to automate operations and make them safe.
Data scrubbing is integrated or can be done any time in an independent project. Our offer is tailored to projects such as:

  • Data migration in banking: see references
  • Data migration in insurance: see details
  • Data migration to SAP
  • Data migration to People Soft, Oracle or other ERPs
