Introduction to Data Detective

DataDetective speeds data conversion as much as 90% by harvesting metadata from a legacy-system database then using that metadata to generate transactions (end-user screens) that maintenance programmers can use to explore and analyze legacy-system data.

DataDetective makes it easy to discover information about legacy-system data and capture, as you discover, additional metadata. As you add metadata, DataDetective automatically improves the transactions you use to explore and analyze legacy-system data.

TenFold has discovered that collecting metadata and using that metadata to drive executable models are the keys to:

  • automating and speeding data conversions
  • determining data quality
  • cleansing applications data
  • adding new applications features to legacy systems
  • building services for SOA environments

As our demonstration highlights, using Metadata is key to doing all the above without coding...so quickly and cost effectively.
