Data Migration Solutions
Does your company have a legacy data source that could provide a new revenue
stream if only it could be accessed by your web application? Or perhaps two
divisions of your company are using separate Customer Relationship Management
(CRM) systems but need to share the contact information in order to
optimize your sales effort. Maybe the Data Access Layer (DAL) used by your software
has grown without proper planning and is now unmanageable and unreliable.
Each of these situations calls for a solid,
well thought-out data migration scheme. Berwick Heights has helped companies
that faced these and similar situations figure out how to migrate and integrate data
from legacy or disparate data sources using intelligent data access layers with
well-understood XML schemas describing the data. This has led to new revenue
sources for the companies, expanded resource usage and streamlined access to
their data across their software platforms. In each case, the data source has
remained untouched, but how it is accessed and utilized has improved
business dramatically.
Items to consider in implementing data migration solutions:
• How does your data need to be accessed
across your total software platform?
• What is the best schema to use in
presenting the data across your software layers?
• How will you handle caching of data
to improve performance?
