MB Foster - an HP e3000 Platinum Migration Partner - is a leading provider of Data Access and Delivery solutions

Established in 1977, MB Foster today has a number of offices in Canada and the USA. Our International distribution network includes the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Spain, The Netherlands, and Taiwan.

As an HP Platinum Migration Partner we have forged partnerships with many leading organizations to enable us to provide a wide range of best-in-class solutions to our customers during their transition off of the HP 3000.

 

MB Foster's focus is on three main areas - migration, decision support and data access & delivery. Providing stellar customer support and education has always been the focus of MB Foster and remains so today.

 
Migration
 
Decision Support
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.
 
Data Access and Delivery

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.

 
Professional Services
MB Foster's customers have access to a team of knowledgeable experts in migration and data manipulation. They have access to a wide variety of IT solutions and strategies to meet the needs of all organizations.
