I build custom software bridges that move data from where it is to where it needs to be.  For example, a bridge might automatically extract production data from a VAX system on the shop floor for delivery to an Oracle database on a Windows/NT platform, or send order status to a customer via e-mail, or both!

Here are just some of the ways my bridges are used and why they work so well.

  • ALL bridges are robust.  That's the first order of business.
  • Single use bridges port data from VAX legacy systems upon retirement.
  • Temporary bridges allow phased retirement of legacy platforms in environments which depend on data transfer between systems.
  • Production bridges facilitate seamless, unattended data transfer in environments with a mix of noncompatible technologies.
  • Import to or export from VAX legacy systems.
  • Activation on either demand or scheduled basis.
  • Interface with ORACLE, Access and other databases.
  • Supports
    - Several data types
    - Special data formats
    - Custom mapping
    - Logic tests
    - Look up validation
    - Error logging
  • Data buffering protects against network outages and supports warm restart.

I have built dozens of custom data bridges for a host of situations.  Call me with your special requirements.
