The company recently converted from Dynatek's Plus2 DOS program to the upgraded Windows version of MorVision. Emigrant has been a beta site for MorVision 5.0 during the past year. The company's First Vice President of IT, Tim Galvin, reported no downtime in the data conversion. We converted over a weekend, and the following Monday morning we were live. One of the benefits Emigrant gained in the 5.0 conversion was the optimization of MS SQL 7.0 for increased database performance.
Users can run queries and other database functions without interference from network traffic.
Clark added that SQL allows for easy filtering of certain requested records. In addition, the knowledge that the software was fully Y2K compliant was reassuring. According to Clark, Dynatek conducted weekly conference call meetings for three to four months with Emigrant during its beta testing. This enabled Dynatek to incorporate enhancements per Emigrant's evolving requirements. We were most impressed by the quality of service they exemplified.
