A Tall Order

Before an organization brings new technology into its IT infrastructure, they must answer some critical questions: Will the new system work with the existing systems? Will the existing systems be replaced completely? Will operations have to stop in order to implement the new technology?

SYSCOM, a leader in enterprise system integration, helps answer those questions. Whether it's upgrading highly customized applications, moving from one platform to another, or melding new and old technologies into a single enterprise solution, we are your trusted partners, designing and implementing strategies that enhance and incrementally improve your business.

Coexistence

SYSCOM has the tools, techniques, and talented people that make integrating new systems and legacy systems much more manageable. From planning through execution, we have extensive experience so we can help you avoid the pitfalls.

Migration

When moving from one version of an application to the next, or when moving a system from one platform to another, or even when moving from one application to another, SYSCOM can help make the transition smooth. We identify the risks, and plan the migration to minimize the negative impacts of such a complex operation.

Size is No Object

Our core expertise is in large distributed systems that span wide geographical areas. We migrate data sources with hundreds of millions of records. We work with everything from the smallest PCs to the largest mainframes.

Complete Services

SYSCOM is your partner for every phase of the enhancement. We help with the planning, the execution, and with user acceptance. We even create customized connectors, utilities, and import/export scripts to ensure the project is a success.

Case Study

A federal agency needed to migrate from a mainframe content management system to a Windows platform while upgrading two major release levels. In addition, there were data integrity issues that prevented the data from being migrated using vendor provided migration utilities.

SYSCOM worked with the client to develop a phased conversion approach that was completed over several months. The major steps performed were:

- Establish the Windows platform and harden the environment consistent with the security requirements.

- Install an interim release of content management application software on the Windows platform and verify its functionality.

- Execute a customized export/import module that exported data from the mainframe to load onto the Windows platform.

- Perform an upgrade on the Windows platform to move from the interim release of the content management system to the most current version.
