Database
Modernization

Let Forecross be the company you call when you're thinking about modernizing your applications from pre-relational databases to a relational database (e.g. IDMS to DB2 or IDMS to SQL). We can make sure that your IDMS-DB to DB2 conversion, IDMS-DB to SQL conversion, IDMS-DB to Oracle conversion, or IDMS-DB migration to any other relational database is successful. We can also do the same for a VSAM conversion to ANSI standard SQL environments including DB2, Oracle, or MS SQL Server. Choosing Forecross means:

• You get a true relational SQL database design - with all of the primary and foreign keys properly implemented
  
• No "junction" tables are needed to implement SQL relationships so your converted applications will have excellent performance with no unnecessary I/O.
  
• You get a guarantee that no data will be left behind during the ETL process

• There are no 'black box' tools or run-time routines for you to maintain or depend on after the migration is complete
  
• The generated code uses easy-to-maintain, industry-standard application programming techniques
