5-20-2003 - Fremont, CA - .com Solutions Inc. announces
FmPro Migration Service - Including support for FileMaker® Pro to
MySQL™, Oracle®, Access, Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase®
and and DB2® migrations
.com Solutions Inc. has enhanced its service offerings
to include the fixed-price FmPro
Migration Service for FileMaker Pro database migrations. Database
migration targets include MySQL, Oracle, Access, Microsoft SQL Server,
Sybase and DB2. The FmPro Migration Service enables IT Managers to economically
migrate valuable data located in FileMaker Pro databases for use throughout
their enterprise. Challenging data types such as JPEG images and large
text fields are quickly and accurately migrated to corporate database
servers by the FmPro Migration Service.
Features of the FmPro Migration Service include:
Fixed
Price Service - Customers know up front what the cost will be to migrate
a FileMaker Pro database consisting of up to 50 files. The price includes
schema design for the destination database, data extraction/import,
export and delivery to the customer.
Economical
Pricing - The FmPro Migration Service provides a very economical alternative
to purchasing and supporting specialized computer hardware which will
only be utilized for the migration process. Not having to hire additional
employees or high-priced consultants on an hourly basis can also quickly
add up to big savings for IT budgets.
Variety
of Output Formats Supported - Output file formats are based upon the
appropriate format commonly used for each destination database. For
a complete list of supported output file formats, please see the table
of supported databases.
Automated
Procedures Improve Accuracy - Manual database migration procedures can
take days or even weeks and introduce errors in database structure and
records. This is especially true for large sophisticated FileMaker Pro
solutions such as Optigold ISP. A FileMaker Optigold client database
file contains over 700 fields! FileMaker Pro databases with this many
fields are simply impractical to migrate via manual procedures. A customized
version of the FmPro Migrator utility
is used to automate these time consuming and complex database migration
tasks.
Economical
Database Web Hosting - Virtually every ISP offers inexpensive MySQL
database hosting with their hosting
plans. Some ISPs even offer free MySQL database hosting after payment
of a minimal
setup fee. By migrating data to MySQL, customers have a wider choice
of database hosting providers compared to looking for FileMaker
Pro hosting providers.
Improved
Scalability - FileMaker Pro is optimized for workgroup applications
with generally fewer than 250 simultaneous users. Migrating FileMaker
Pro data to MySQL, Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, Sybase or DB2 leverages
existing investments in these highly scalable databases capable of handling
thousands of simultaneous users.
Experience
- .com Solutions Inc. is a FileMaker Solutions Alliance member with
17 years of FileMaker Pro development experience. This experience spans
FileMaker revisions 1.0 thru 6.0, Oracle 8.0.5 thru 9.2.0, SQL Server
6.5 thru 2000, MySQL 4.0.12 and DB2 8.1.
Customers with special data confidentiality needs may
request alternate migration procedures in order to avoid sending their
proprietary data off-site. These options include a scripts-only service,
or customer use of the specialized version of FmPro Migrator software
which is utilized by this service. Please send email
or call for details.
