- Minimize the downtime required
to take full advantage of a vendor’s software upgrades.
- Take as long as you need
to be confident that the upgrade and conversion is right.
- Combine any skipped
software releases and apply them all in a single conversion.
Convert While Active
allows you to perform even the most extensive data conversions with only minutes
of downtime. That’s a vast improvement over traditional options. In the past, depending
on the size of the database, converting data to accommodate software installations
or upgrades normally caused 20 hours or more of downtime. With Convert While Active
you usually experience less than 15 minutes of downtime to achieve the same objective.
 Convert While Active creates a parallel file that undergoes the data conversion
and is automatically synchronized with your production data as transactions occur.
This allows you to conduct extensive pre-live training, testing and auditing on
the new release. When you decide to go live, your production file is replaced with
the conversion file. Because you don’t have to worry about business downtime, Convert
While Active gives you back the weekends that you used to forfeit to perform data
conversions.
