"After evaluating a range of vendors, SOLIX expertise was a clear fit for a project of this complexity," said Arqiva IT Director Vernon Jeffery. "SOLIX enabled a smooth implementation and produced a superb result. I expected this phase of the project to be among the most difficult but was very satisfied with the result. I am impressed with the SOLIX technology and their high level of commitment." SOLIX and IBM served as partners in the data separation, an implementation that used SOLIX ARCHIVEjinni as the primary tool for extracting Arqiva data from the parent company to produce a discrete new system for Arqiva. SOLIX used the data subsetting capabilities of its flagship product A primary product of a company, which is typically why the company was founded and/or what made it well known. For example, MS-DOS, Windows and the Microsoft Office suite have been flagship products of Microsoft. CorelDRAW is a flagship product of Corel Corporation. to remove NTL Group data. The procedure was successfully completed without impacting the complex environment of existing Oracle Applications modules. The SOLIX ARCHIVEjinni knowledge base, which maintains comprehensive metadata information about Oracle Applications Data Model, ensured a smooth and easy execution. Data Subset programs generated by SOLIX ARCHIVEjinni are validated against the knowledge base to ensure data consistency Data consistency summarizes the validity, accuracy, usability and integrity of related data between applications and across the IT enterprise. This ensures that each user observes a consistent view of the data, including visible changes made by the user's own transactions and and integrity of the resulting Oracle Applications subset instance. "SOLIX ARCHIVEjinni was critical to the successful separation of highly sensitive Adj. 1. highly sensitive - readily affected by various agents; "a highly sensitive explosive is easily exploded by a shock"; "a sensitive colloid is readily coagulated" data," said Jeffery. "It ensured the integrity of our database and applications and saved valuable time." "We were very pleased to partner with IBM on a deal of this size and scope. The success of this project has given us excellent visibility into the rest of Europe," commented Burt Salop, Vice President, Worldwide Sales and Alliances at SOLIX Technologies.
