Situation 07 / 08 — Forward path

Legacy data access

Thirty years of history the business cannot see.

The systems that ran the plant also recorded everything it did. Salem is called when someone in finance, quality, or operations asks a question that the data could answer, and finds there is no path from the legacy database to any tool built in the last two decades.

How Salem approaches it

01 Get the data out without touching production

Salem establishes read access and extraction from the legacy database — Rdb, RMS, or otherwise — on a schedule that does not compete with the production workload or require changes to the running application.

02 Make it readable to systems built this century

Extracted data is structured and delivered where the business already works: a modern database, a warehouse, a reporting layer, or the analytics platform already in place.

03 Keep the pipeline running while the platform changes

Because the extraction is independent of the application, it survives whatever happens to the underlying platform later — including migration.

What would you ask it if you could?

The data has been recording the answer for decades.

Tell Salem what the platform is and what question the business is trying to answer. The extraction path is usually shorter than expected.
