Legacy Viewer - Revive that long lost data
Undertaking a data migration and concerned about possible loss of information with no easy way to resurrect the old system and database?
Data migration can often be a mine field which needs navigating with care and attention. Especially, when the composition of the system you are moving to is quite different to the one you are turning off.
You will be looking to make a brand new start with a clean database that is uncluttered and well designed which inevitably means making decisions about which data to keep and which data to dump.
PxP provided its first legacy data viewer for a customer who had moved nearly ½ million records from a mainframe system to a pensions administration package system. The customer wanted piece of mind that there would be a data lookup and retrieval option in respect of the outgoing database.
Legacy Data Viewer incorporates the front end import functionality of our data migration product and has built in facilities to create and configure screens to display data in a familiar format.
The powerful search and select screen has standard field select criteria plus additional user defined fields for separate or additional search criteria.
Legacy Data Viewer also features an integrated query builder for creating reports and producing output files.
Suitable as a data migration add on to safeguard your pre migration position the legacy viewer may also be considered as a cost effective replacement database for legacy systems you just use as a data repository and may be paying licence fees for unnecessarily.
