U2 Migration Tour
Rocket U2 is pleased to announce the "U2 Migration Factory" which facilitates the migration of legacy MultiValue solutions to U2. So if you have friends or associates using another MV database, please make them aware of this new offering.
Learn more about how the U2 Migration Factory works and dispel any notion that application migration and enhancement is too costly or resource intensive. Hear how our people, processes, assistance levels and methodology along with our Automated Migration Tool result in a much lower cost migration. See how migrating to U2 and taking advantage of our additional offerings can boost your application and business effectiveness! Then go out and promote a migration to U2 to anyone using other MultiValue technology. Click here to view the recording and slides.
