Legacy Applications

If your company has been operating for more than the last few years, you undoubtedly have sizable investments in applications and historical data. The ability to integrate these older applications and data sources is useful for the following reasons:

Preserving existing applications, dbSpaces allows you to:

Transparently add new data sources so existing applications can continue to be used, and

• Preserving Existing Data Sources. When you upgrade existing applications - or develop new applications, dbSpaces buffers applications from the data, allowing you to use existing data sources.
• Data migration. In some cases it may make sense to continue to use legacy applications that meet business needs, however, it may be desirable to upgrade the data sources (such as COBOL) to relational database technology.
• Use of historical data. Many state-of-the-art applications benefit from the ability to use historical data to deliver their full power and capability. The ability to access legacy data can be a powerful capability with competitive advantages for corporate applications, such as:
  • Reporting & Busniess Intelligence
  • Decision support
  • e-Commerce
  • Customer relationship management
  • Supply chain management.
