THE CHALLENGE: INEXPENSIVE ACCESS TO VAST LEGACY DATA STORES
One of the major challenges in business intelligence (BI) today is incorporating all the data necessary to manage your business effectively. While your data repository contains a wealth of information, there is still significant value locked in your relatively inaccessible, non-warehoused legacy data.
The problem is, when you require legacy data to be added to the repository, it is often difficult to build a business case, due to the high costs. As a result, you often don’t get access to the data you need.
What you need is access to these vast reserves of data, without the typical costs or delays.
THE SOLUTION
Arbutus connects even your most complex mainframe legacy data to Windows-based applications. We offer a range of products, depending on your particular needs:
- Arbutus Connect is middleware that allows your existing Windows tools to directly access mainframe data
- Arbutus Integrate allows you to integrate legacy system data into your existing repositories
- Arbutus Query is an end-user Windows application that provides comprehensive query and reporting capabilities, and can be used to supplement your existing processes
