BI Platform Migrations

From back-end architecture to front-end tools, our migration specialists have a deep understanding of enterprise BI platforms and visual analytics tools. Implementing a structured process and using proprietary accelerator tools, we ensure rapid, optimized cross-platform migrations. We take best practices and business value into consideration, working on models in the areas that give the most business value.

Using Senturus for your migration offers bottom line benefits

  • Saves up to 75% of modeling and migration time
  • Provides substantial cost savings
  • Eliminates manual errors
  • Maintains data consistency by preserving “one source of the truth”
  • Prevents needless end-user downtime

Further facilitating the smooth migration process, we can leverage our Analytics Connector to allow your organization to run the old and new platforms in parallel. Stakeholders can then take time to gain skills and confidence before the full migration.

With the seasoned and knowledgeable Senturus team at your side, you will save time and money migrating to a new, stable system with minimal downtime to your end users.

PROPRIETARY MIGRATION ACCELERATOR TOOLS

Converting to a new platform raises concerns because existing data models and business logic can get lost along the way. These losses would create a significant burden to the company in terms of lost productivity and the possible introduction of errors in the attempt to determine and recreate previously applied logic and calculations.

To address this problem, Senturus developed migration tools that migrate data models and provide insight into report function, features and usage.
