With every conversion there are many activities and problems that require special and unique handling. Be it data conversion program, automated test handling, data validation or even new supplement solution, which objective is to integrate with existing and new system, almost every program needs to be designed quick and accurate to assist overall software conversion project and in no case impact the deadline. We at Margasoft employ unique agile development methodology, which along with our extensive on the field expertise, allows us to create uniquely tailored custom application to address very unique needs of our customers.

Other reasons why we are asked to engage in custom software development is when we to design new custom applications to replace existing custom or unsupported applications; or to develop different integrations including integrations from our MICMA framework based products to third party solutions.

It is hard to imagine more sensitive and tense type of activities than Data Conversion, Data Validation, Mapping and Migration. Data Manipulation whether it is for conversion, migration or any other purpose requires unique set of skills, experience and calm personality. Margasoft consultants are hand picked and successfully completed number of conversion, migration and other data manipulation projects. We have experienced in data transfer between

Smooth software transitions, upgrades and conversions are the toughest engineering challenges in the IT area. It is relatively simple to introduce a new server to IT infrastructure or new software to formalize business processes.

In partnership with Input/Output Technology Inc. we have designed and implemented “Smart” Automated Battery Charger System (ABC) for Lockheed Martin. We were involved in the design, implementation, setup and acceptance testing processes. Full set of technical documentation including UML hierarchy and sequence diagrams, database diagrams describing the database schema and general software design document reflecting all aspects of the system was created and provided by Margasoft. Special simulation and testing software applications were created to enable component level thorough tests of each separate module of ABC. Specific applications were created to test data acquisition boards.

MICMA Legal implemented for Mentor Corporation

www.mentorcorp.com

Recently, we have successfully upgraded Mentor Corporation’s Legal Department to use MICMA Legal. IT infrastructure of the company was upgraded to use new SQL Server 2005 and all the workstations were being upgraded to use new Microsoft Windows Vista. Old software was not supported on Vista and Mentor decided to switch to web based MICMA Legal solution as new platform for legal department. We have completed the whole project from the estimation through setting up a test environment and final conversion within 4 months. This was the fastest conversion we ever had. We were able to complete such a quick conversion mainly due to very professional and prompt cooperation with Mentor’s IT department.

SQL Server Migration for Pacific IPA

www.pacificipa.net

In partnership with ATV Network Consulting we have completed several migration projects for Pacific IPA upgrading their database systems with the data and application to new server machines. The work was done diligently and the switch over was smooth and transparent to whole organization. We have analyzed and reverse engineered all the data and legacy applications on the server. We have created plan with specific milestones and test phases. After the new servers were tested and verified we have completed the switch over during the weekend and from next business week whole organization was functioning on new hardware with no issues.
