Many of the tools that exist to assist with data migration fail to provide the required level of customization when dealing with legacy data sources and are unable to accommodate bespoke databases that differ considerably from commercial off the shelf data solutions.
Therefore we are proud to announce
the Legacy Data Bridge tool.
Our invaluable tool
addresses these issues by delivering an automated solution to data migration
and provides a unique synchronization capability that ensures consistency
between legacy data sources and their replacement. Adopting our solution
provides you with the confidence to switch over to the new system, secure in
the knowledge that your legacy system is there as a safety net in case of
catastrophe.
The Legacy Data Bridge is a state-of-the-art, model
driven automated solution for migrating and synchronizing heterogeneous data
sources. At its heart are a set of highly configurable synchronization rules
that are automatically generated from our modern, model based design
technology. These rules provide an error free, unambiguous data migration
solution that is easy to understand and maintain.
Interfacing to the data sources is achieved through
a set of adapters that can be plugged into any data technology. These adapters
are specifically developed to meet the needs of your data migration needs and
can be configured to access data either directly or via the data source
Application Programming Interface (API).
Input data, accessed through the adapters, is then
processed by a data source analyser in order to produce a list of elements to
which the rules must be applied. Built on our proven parsing technology, the
data source analyser is specifically developed for each customer engagement and
provides an agile, easy to understand and highly maintainable solution. The
rules engine is then executed on the analyser output; the data can be cleansed,
duplicates removed and generated into the target data source through the output
adapters. Each time the engine applies a rule the system records an in-depth
journal, of all actions performed, providing both a complete audit history as
well as the capability to undo any action in the event of an error in the rules
being discovered after the synchronization process has been applied.
Rules are developed in a modelling environment in order to abstract the purpose of a rule from its implementation. This approach allows experts in the problem domain to create and change rules, using familiar terminology, without needing to understand the implementation technology.
Data
synchronization rules can be a mixture of both real-time and periodic,
depending on the desired synchronization strategy.
As rules are developed and evolved the Legacy Data Bridge‘s
sandpit feature allows them to be fully tested, in a safe environment, prior to deployment
on the production system.
Whatever
your data migration needs are, our Legacy Data Bridge provides, a rapid, risk
free reliable solution.
The Benefits:
- Accelerates the data migration activities to deploy your new system sooner
- Reduce the risk of deployment to a new system
- Provides confidence that your data is cleansed and error free
- Allows legacy systems to be decommissioned with confidence
- Removes data constraints on the new system architecture
- Maintains comprehensive log of all transactions
- Ensures consistency between “as is” and “to be” systems through an automated approach
- Removes the overhead associated with maintaining both the legacy and new system
