Data Automation & Conversion

Organizations often have business-critical data stored in multiple formats and locations. In the ideal situation, you consolidate this content into one database. In some cases that is simply not possible. In either event - we can help you evaluate your options:

• If consolidating your content, we have extensive experience with data migration and conversion projects. Over the years, we've developed automated tools to enable large-scale and error-free data conversions from a wide variety of source materials.  
• If source data needs to stay "in-place", we can design SOAP type web-services or scheduled imports to pull that information out. Similarly, we're familiar with methods to make remote links to other data sources.
• In other cases, you can use remote database synchronization (a technique known as replication.) We've used this technique ourselves quite extensively between offices and also with some KIDS subscribers.
• We have designed component-based tools to automatically update database structures (schema) and synchronize the upgrade process at multiple installation locations.
• We have experience integrating external hardware such as bar code systems and biometric keyboards for automated data processing.

In summary, we can help you migrate from or link to a wide variety of data sources.
