Adabas database is widely used across industries, predominantly in Travel, Transportation & Hospitality as the back-end for mission critical systems. In spite of the heavy investments made in legacy applications, organizations are looking forward to migrate to newer technologies to reap the benefits and opportunities provided by the internet. Data migration is an essential component of these modernization initiatives.
Some of the key data migration challenges are:
- Relationship between target and source data elements
- End-to-End data migration
- Maintaining data integrity
- Disparate Systems
- Data Cleansing & Filtering
 (Adabas Data Migration Tool) is Hexaware’s solution accelerator facilitating end-to-end data migration from Adabas based applications to open systems. The entire process from Extraction to load the data into target database is facilitated with user friendly GUI technology. This is an end-to-end automated migration tool.
ADAM consists of 3 modules which perform Extraction (Hextractor), Query (Hexquery) and Loading of data to target (Hexloader).
