DATABASE MIGRATION SUPPORT

Migrating from one database platform to another may seem like a Herculean task.  Add to that – task switching from one style of database to another, and it may seem impossible.

Good news for those seeking to migrate to,  or from, Oracle Rdb or Oracle CODASYL DBMS – the database experts at Software Concepts International have the skills and experience to facilitate such a migration.

Software Concepts has assisted clients with successful migrations from Oracle CODASYL DBMS to relational databases and from relational databases to CODASYL DBMS.

Software Concepts has the experience and technical resources to assist you with all phases of the database migration process.

DATA MAPPING
Relational and CODASYL databases create relationships between data in very different ways – understanding these difference is a critical first step to any migration between these environments. Once the “referential” data issues have been addressed, work begins on the logical data models – correlating the source data with the target data and addressing all data type conversion issues.

INTEGRITY
Simply “moving data” is of no use if it does not support the new application environment. Thorough testing is required to validate the data mapping and conversion procedures and to ensure that all aspects of the target application are working successfully.

PERFORMANCE
High-availability sites rely on their databases as part of their mission-critical computing environments. Minimizing the downtime associated with a database migration project is critical.  Software Concepts International understands the importance of availability and has successfully implemented a number of innovative solutions to minimize migration downtime.

SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATIONS
Careful planning is critical to a successful database migration. However, the best plans, if not implemented properly can lead to catastrophic results. SCI’s implementation procedures and schedule ensure the success of your database migration with minimal downtime.

SUMMARY
Your data is too important to place at risk during a database migration. Migrating between heterogeneous environments complicates the migration process. SCI’s team of leading database experts has the expertise and experience to ensure a smooth and successful database transition – from CODASYL DBMS to relational databases or from relational databases to CODASYL DBMS.
