Accelerated Migration from NCR Teradata to Oracle using Magma Migration Workbench (MMW) ----- By TCS Sarma

In today’s economic climate, speed-to-market is critical to protect bottom line and to fastforward execution of business strategies across all industries, large and small, public and private. Rapid development, Rapid implementation, Rapid deployment are the watchwords of IT professionals.

However According to Standish Group International, 74 percent of all IT projects either fail completely or are challenged by going overtime, over budget. Only 26 percent succeed. And while considerable attention is being given to process maturity and capability, industry analysts report that: · 75% of organizations do not use a methodology · 54% of system downtime is caused by software failure

How can you help ensure your projects fall in the 26 percent success range? And also ensure you have excellent quality implementation while still being on time, on budget. This is especially challenging when you are dealing with the complex innards of IT systems e.g. one that involves migration between different technologies. This requires not only seamless migration without interrupting the business, but also the breadth of technology know-how, rigorous methodologies and tools to effectively manage the technology implementation and project to fully leverage the IT investments. Migration of data infrastructure from one platform to another is one such complex initiative.

Magma solutions has developed Magma Migration Workbench (MMW) – a solution that consists of tools and methodologies that help companies successfully migrate data warehousing from NCR’s Teradata to Oracle technologies. The migration workbench consists of a set of tools to convert the programming, and a set of methodologies to scope, estimate and manage the project. The solution is specifically designed to plan and reduce migration planning and implementation by 40 to 50% thereby addressing today’s business challenges. Magma Solutions has successfully implemented this at client sites.
