Projects and Customer reviews
Retail software vendor
We were approached by Pursuit software, with a request to assist with an IBM AS/400 data transformation and extraction request for one of their Customers. The project consisted of setting up connectivity to the Customer system, identification of key data files in a S/36 environment. These files were originally defined with a single field, of character type containing mixed data type. Therefore it was necessary to create new file structures to ensure the data could be correctly downloaded in CSV format, ready to be imported into their new retail software solution.
"Nevis Data's expertise was invaluable to our data conversion project. The project was on time, on budget and 100% successful".

Aerospace engineering company
We were approached by Meggitt engineering. Their request was to first host their legacy IBM AS/400 systems running their MAPICS environment in our data-centre facility, and secondly at a future date, extract MAPICS historical data for long term storage in their current IT environment.
"Having found ourselves without the required support or expertise, we turned to Nevis Data who understood our requirement and had the right people for the job. We are required to keep our data for 25 years and having a company capable in support of our legacy system was a must. Their technical ability is second to none and they were able to host our system and migrate our data to a format that suited our modern systems".

Consultancy services company
We were approached by Tata Consultancy Services. They had a requirement to retrieve data from an IBM System i (iSeries, AS/400) full system save set of 3590 cartridges. We proposed to first produce a listing of the cartridge contents, then to restore Customer identified libraries to an Nevis Data iSeries system. Because TCS wished to receive the complete data in Save File format, saved to LTO cartridge in a Windows environment, all restored libraries were first saved to SAVF in an i5/OS environment then transferred to a Windows environment, before being saved to LTO cartridge format. After all tasks were completed, the 3590 & LTO cartridges were dispatched to their India TCS office.
"Nevis Data were a great help solving technical problems on the IBM i. The service we received was extremely sincere, very helpful and professional. Nevis Data did all the hard work and made things so much easier for us! It was a real pleasure working with Nevis Data and I would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a technical support on IBM i. Thanks once again! ".
