Migration is a business issue NOT a
technical issue. The biggest thing is
not to panic but to proceed to examine
the impact of the HP
CSY announcement on your organization.
This is an opportunity to examine your
IT and improve its efficiency and supportability.
We have built a special migration team
here at MB Foster. From this team we have
gathered the best practices and developed
a plan to help make the migrations for
our customers successful. <<Read

Imagine having an instant replay of
Christmas. Rolling back the calendar 2
½ months to that joy filled time of the
year. Giving, receiving and family. MB
Foster has decided their 'family' of customers
has been very good this year, so we are
giving away a load of goodies FREE. Why?
Thanking them for their loyalty of course.
As users of our ODBC
Driver, you will receive a copy of
our JDBC Driver with your update tapes.
It will be Christmas in April! What better
way to celebrate than by installing 'your
FREE gift' and trying it out?

The first version of the JDBC
Driver will be ready to ship out at
the end of March. Make sure you get one
of the first tapes being shipped by visiting
www.mbfoster.com
today. |

| If there is one constant in our ever-changing
high-tech industry - it has to be change.
MB Foster is not immune to change. With
all of the new added features to our ODBC
Driver and our soon to be release JDBC
Driver, MB Foster thought it was time
to change it's name to better suit their
product. With the version 6.02 of their
flagship product, DataExpress, the name
has been changed to MBF-UDALink
(MB Foster Universal Data Access Link).
We also changed the program name and the
account structure. It is therefore very
important that you review all update documents
when you receive your next update tape.

MB Foster to the rescue! With the help
of MBF-UDALink
(formerly DataExpress Client-Server), Flow
Products, Inc. was able to seamlessly move
their ManMan data through multiple databases.
"We realized with some minor programming,
(MBF-UDALink) could be the solution for
this project," says Tom Ducharme, MIS Manager.

Report in the January 2002 edition of the
