Data Migration Planning & Strategies
Transforming applications and software from legacy languages such as COBOL, Natural, or Assembler involves more than just dealing with the source code – we also convert legacy file formats like VSAM, ISAM, flat files, Adabas and others to modern relational databases.
At Trinity Millennium Group data migration is handled as part of every application modernization project we take on. This involves:
- Evaluation of the legacy data schema;
- Consultation on data migration goals – some clients request as simple a technical migration as possible (e.g. to minimize changes required to processing logic), while others have specific target data architectures. The Automation Enabled Modernization Process provides complete flexibility in this regard, which is unmatched by any off-the-shelf data migration tool or solution;
- Mapping to a relational data schema, incorporating the client’s preferences;
- Providing database creation scripts, as well as support for the client in establishing the target database;
- Providing data migration scripts; and
- (Optional service, based on client preferences) Performing the data migration.
Data migration is performed as an end-to-end service, rather than providing an off-the-shelf tool that leaves the problem in your hands. Trinity follows data migration project best practices and testing keeping your data safe and secure. Your data migration can be provided as either a stand-alone service or part of a larger application modernization effort.
You are offered a unique blend of leveraged automation together with the human touch to ensure the new database design meets your specific goals. This is an iterative process, as shown below:
