Data Conversion
The Challenge: Efficiently converting your mainframe legacy data
Data conversion represents one of the more challenging tasks an IT
department can face. The most common problem is the lack the appropriate
tools to get the job done. Many organizations are forced to rely on labor
intensive processes such as COBOL programs to get the job done. Where you have
appropriate tools, they are often difficult to use, expensive, or both.
The problem in many cases is the data conversion project is
for a specific narrow situation, and the benefits don’t justify
any of the costly alternatives available to you.
If only you had a tool that was easy to learn and use, powerful enough to
read the all the mainframe data sources you need, flexible enough for any
situation, and could be deployed in a cost effective manner.
Well, that is exactly the opportunity that Arbutus Migrate presents!
