MigraTEC Adds Linux Expertise, Services to Migration Center
DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 20, 2001--
Migration outsourcing yields time-to-market
advantages of speed, efficiency
MigraTEC, Inc. (OTCBB: MIGR), the leading provider of platform migration expertise and technology, today announced it has established a Linux practice in its groundbreaking MigraTEC Migration Center.
"MigraTEC is prepared to support the inevitable market demand for Linux migration services," said Curtis Overstreet, Chief Executive Officer of MigraTEC. "Whether an enterprise needs cross-platform migration to Linux, or upgrades for an existing Linux application from 32-bit to 64-bit Itanium(R) architecture, or both, the Migration Center can provide it -- faster and more cost-effectively than a manual migration effort."
The Migration Center, located in Dallas, is the software industry's first competency center dedicated solely to software migration. The Migration Center builds on MigraTEC's 10 years of experience in performing successful source code migrations. By outsourcing their migration projects to the Migration Center, businesses keep their focus on their core competencies instead of diverting resources to source code migrations, according to Overstreet.
"Linux is currently the fastest-growing operating system, expanding in the 25 - 30 percent range annually," said Bill Claybrook, Linux analyst at Aberdeen Group, a Boston-based marketing research firm. "The availability of applications on Linux is one of the major ingredients for the continued high adoption of Linux. The announcement to provide Linux migration services will help put MigraTEC in the center of this explosive growth and will be a force in helping to move companies to the Linux world."
"We're responding to a rapidly emerging market demand," Overstreet added.
Migration Center Expertise
"Our customers have told us they do not have the time and resources, or would rather not interrupt development schedules, to efficiently manage and move their code to another computing environment. MigraTEC's Migration Center provides experts, experience, and unique software technologies to quickly assist customers in migrating from the 32-bit environment to tomorrow's 64-bit world and between existing platforms."
The Migration Center can take a customer's existing 32-bit C/C++ application and provide a total solution for rapidly and accurately migrating that application to run in native 64-bit mode on Intel's Itanium(R) platform. The Center also can provide the same expertise and services for cross-platform migration, such as 32-bit UNIX to 32-bit Linux. Other Migration Center offerings include migration training, methodology and strategic consulting.
