Our experience in the
area of migration is wide reaching. Our
knowledgeable staff has experience in
moving data while maintaining the business
logic, analyzing existing data structures
and recreating new structures with the
same logic, and ensuring that program
code is moved, migrated or rewritten with
the same attention to detail.
MBF-UDALink,
our in-house developed data access solution
is well suited for data migration. MBF-UDACentral,
our in-house developed database solution
was built specifically to migrate data
sources from IMAGE to alternate dbms solutions.
Our partnerships ensure that we have
the solutions available for all customer
needs, regardless of which target platform,
database, program language, or transition
solution is chosen. |

| MB Foster's data mart solutions address
the need of corporate executives and managers
to access and analyze the company's information.
Using MBF-UDALink, our data access and delivery
tool, data is removed from the application
repositories, normalized and stored in a
alternative data structure, creating a data
mart. Popular desktop tools can then be
used to query the data mart for decision
support purposes. |

  |
MBF-UDALink is a complete data access
and delivery solution available for HP
3000 and HP 9000. It is capable of accessing
almost all data repositories and delivering
data to the desktop in over 30 different
output formats or methods.
Also available are the
ODBC 3.5 compliant driver, and the
JDBC
Level 2 driver. These drivers provide
access to non-SQL data sources permitting
data to be accessed in non-relational
structures and written to relational structures.
MBF-UDACentral is a JAVA based solution
using JDBC to provide data structure information
and database conversion from IMAGE and
ALLBASE to Oracle and SQL Server 7. Import
and Export functions are available to
assist in data movement after migration. |
