As businesses aspire to become data driven in this competitive new-age, they face several challenges in transforming their legacy data workloads, namely the EDW data and metadata, ETL jobs and analytics reports to the cloud environment. Most transformation initiatives suffer from time delays, cost overruns and below expectations coverage of target delivery. Cost of quality becomes a paramount issue as manual conversions fraught with errors and management practices lacking discipline result in significant validation and correction effort.

xForm’s Data Assessment offering “xForm Insights” provides two key outcomes that essentially address your first showstopper issue in your transformation.

Firstly, our detailed flow documentation of your workloads helps you gain deep insights in their inner workings, builds a valuable knowledge repository and enables the long-term maintainability and enhanceability.

Secondly, our detailed reporting on the data entities, the complexity of the scripts and the potential to optimize for long term usage drives a cost benefit analysis of your workload transformations leading to an ROI based prioritization in your roadmap.

xForm’s Data Transformation Automation offering “xForm Accelerate” is the solution for your problems of complexity, flexibility and predictability.

The primary benefit of our transformation automation solution is that our intelligent engine absorbs all the complexity of conversion resulting in accurate, predictable conversions resulting in significantly reduced time and costs of conversion.

In addition, the transformation outcomes not only enable full value utilization of your cloud environment but also provide more granular and optimized access to your data.

Also, the resulting transformed scripts can be easily validated, deployed in your environment, routinely executed, maintained and enhanced as per business need by your team as per your process and landscape.

xForm has developed their proprietary xForm engine as well as xForm language with grammar which has cognitive learning capabilities, which ensure higher performance with processing more and more data workloads. The learning ability enables xForm custom build fast for your specific migration needs. A representative sketch of our workflow =>

xForm’s proprietry grammar and engine drive their ability to offer migration from “Any” legacy system to “Any” new-age system. A connector that performs the conversion automation from a specific source system to a specific target system is called a “Plugin” for “xForm Accelerate”. Similarly the “xForm Insights” “Plugin” performs the assessment of a specific legacy system. If the specific plugin you need is not built, xForm will build it specifically for you and your choice of legacy and new-age systems.

While the SaaS products “xForm Insights” and “xForm Accelerate” offer flexibility of usage, if you have well defines requirements with a known project time and prefer a service delivery model, xForm also offers a comprehensive managed service “xForm Build” that offers delivery as per the agreed acceptance criteria in the “Silver” model and ensure 100% migration of your workloads in their “Gold” model.

As part of this managed service, xForm will provide full documentation, training and technology transfer as well as a maintenance contract if you so desire.

Through xForm Data Transformation Consulting offering “xForm Discovery”, we engage with our customers right from their initial target system and roadmap planning.

Our team of SMEs will participate in various workshops with your leadership and technical teams to help identify the levers of transformation, define the as-is and to-be states for data landscape capability maturity, identify the organizational readiness and steps to address the transformation needs.

We will also help define the transformation blueprint with multiple initiatives, identify the dependencies between the initiatives and organizational levers to finalize a time based roadmap for your transformation.
