Capita's Oracle to SQL migration

Capita's migration services

The UNIT-e Student Record and Tracking System is designed to run on either an Oracle or a SQL Server database platform. This option allows organisations to select a preferred platform, according to your specific needs.

For organisations who favour a SQL server platform, Capita FHE can now deliver a migration process to convert a UNIT-e database from Oracle to SQL Server 2008, using SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS).

Benefits of using Capita FHE migration

  • Through the development of the UNIT-e database in both Oracle and SQL Server, Capita FHE offers thorough knowledge of both platforms’ structure and dependencies. This knowledge,combined with the UNIT-e tried and tested migration method, offers assurance and proven success
  • Although SSIS is available to anyone running SQL Server 2005/8, this is only the tool itself and not the complete solution. Capita FHE has developed a smooth process, causing minimal disruption to organisations’ normal service. Test migrations using live data are repeated until complete confidence that all site-specific data configurations have been accounted for is reached
  • Post-migration, Capita FHE provides an applications consultancy to ensure that all  UNIT-e products are functioning as expected
  • Capita FHE does not specifically recommend you migrate or not. We clearly acknowledge that this is for each organisation to decide. If migration best suits an organisation’s needs, Capita FHE is pleased to offer this reliable and efficient mechanism for completion.
