RESULTS:
A toolset allowing easy copy and paste and a permanent historic repository of data readily accessible from the point and time of takeover.
The Existing owners were using one ERP to manage the operations of Pine Harbour in addition to another 20 plus companies and after evaluation of options the new owners had no preference for this ERP product but as per the terms of any sale and purchase agreement the data needed to be handed on.
- Extract data from old ERP using the old ERP’s ODBC Toolset.
- Deliver data including relationships into a SQL Relational database and associated application in order to have user-friendly data manipulation, reporting, viewing, querying as well as seamless MS Excel integration. Potential uses or users of data include:
- As a business analytics toolset for the new owners
- Recreate the existing ERP data for the new owners in either the same or a new ERP provider
