MIGRATION
 
Mastering two worlds

The technology world is changing pace and rapid advances are being made in every area of technology. This means that what was state-of-the-art 2 years ago is already old hat. Customers need to keep their systems upto speed to remain competetive and ahead of the competition. This is where migrations skills are most important.

 

 
 
Migration calls to the fore expertise in old, obsolete or outdated technology as well as knowledge and skills a new platforms and technology. Only a clear understanding of both worlds can result in a successful upgrade.

We have consistently kept our focus on leveraging new technologies in a proven and cost-effective method for each client.

Project Spot Light

Conversion of Forms 3.0 to Forms 4.5
   
  Client: Airman - A large Asian airline company
     
  Background: The existing system was Oracle based and used Forms 3.0 as the front end. The company's strategy was to move away from character based systems to fully GUI systems and then subsequently to web based systems. The database server resided on an RS/6000 and all the development was done on NT workstations.
     
  The project: The system had to be converted to Forms 4.5 with all the GUI features that were available. There are over 300 forms and 350 tables in this system. Some of the main modules in the system include Commercial Administration, Job Control, Component and Transit Item Tracking, Inventory Management, and Labour Resource Management.
     
 
 
Highlights:
   Rapid application migration. The first delivery was done in 2 months of elapsed time since the start of the project.
  Fully GUI systems from character oriented forms including full mouse support
  Large application with many forms and tables
  Handling GUI events in complex forms with many triggers
  A large number of reports
