The suite provides a bottom-up approach in which the tool set works with the data to perform analysis, consolidation and conversion of data sources. The process is driven by an inference engine, which discerns and represents the hidden structures buried in raw data.
The hidden structures are consolidated to create an accurate "as is" data model of the legacy systems and can then be converted to a consolidated target model. The associated mapping and transformation rules from source to target are automatically generated.
The potential cost savings and risk reduction in automating the analysis of legacy data can be enormous.
According to Lacy Edwards, president and CEO of Evoke Software, "educating the market" is one of the company's biggest challenges as many organisations do not have a line item budget for an automated software solution as they don't know such a product exists.
