Report Conversion - Report Modernization

Image
Report Conversion   Putting information in the hands of the right people at the right time is a crucial component of improving business intelligence. While many companies have heavily invested in ERP, CRM and Data Warehouse solutions that improve the capture and aggregation of business data, they have found that reporting on that data is not always as easy as it should be.   Through its Report Modernization, information workers can transform data into information, and information into knowledge.  Report modernization can effectively improve an organization's business intelligence.     Report Modernization   To provide a cost-effective, manageable and scalable enterprise reporting platform, many businesses are discovering a need to upgrade their existing reporting system.   A leading reporting solution, such as Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services or MicroStrategy, can help improve businesses operations by providing a complete integrated reporting and analysis solu

Why is Application Modernization Better than Code Migration?

Why is Application Modernization Better than Code Migration? Modernization is the most Effective Option for Modernizing Legacy Applications While several methods are available for moving legacy applications to modern Java or .NET platforms, the Modernization solution delivers the optimal combination of high quality, modest cost and minimum risk. Project Type Project Characteristics Cost Manual Re-write Long Project Duration High Code Quality High Risk Very High Often not fully accounted   Application Modernization ~ ⅓ of Manual Project Duration High Code Quality Low Risk (proven by past projects) Medium Low long-term maintenance Application Migration Code Conversion Mostly C/S 4GL -> C/S Java/.NET Code appears to be 4GL in Java/.NET Mainly used for small projects Medium/Low High code maintenance Key Considerations A manual code re-write has the longest duration, the highest project cost and the largest project risk. A simple code mig

Application Modernization Process Overview

Application Modernization Process   Application Modernization solution uses a combination of advanced automated tools, sophisticated modernization technologies and professional services to produce a high-quality, native style, multi-tier modern Java or .NET application. To effectively manage the modernization process through the entire project duration,  a comprehensive web-enabled project management system that captures all project activity, documents all test cases and provides a clear view of daily project activity, test case status and issue tracking. Clients have online access throughout the modernization project to facilitate issue management, interaction with project resources and provide full visibility of the modernization progress. The modernization process consists of six project stages that are designed to collectively ensure that the final solution is a functional, fully-tested, enhanced, modern application that meets all client requirements and expectations.

Database Modernization - Migrating Legacy Database to Modern Data base

Database Migration Process is completed in these 3 easy steps: Assessment and Project Planning Migration Execution Transition, Testing and Deployment Step 1: Assessment and Project Planning   Assess the database and analyze the source code of associated applications to identify any database-specific code that may impact the project. Use this analysis to draft a project plan :   Project scope based on requirements. Work breakdown and resource allocation. Execution plan with deliverable and milestones. Project tracking methodology. Step 2: Migration Execution   Use a range of advanced automated tools to handle the key migration tasks and ensure integrity and reliability of the database contents.  Project execution includes the following main phases:   Implementation and configuration of database test environment. Database conversion (e.g. stored procedures, triggers, etc.). Modification of database-specific code in associated applications. Data porting. Test
