Original Press Release:
Pervasive Software Launches Data Migration Service for Salesforce.com's AppExchange
New Pervasive Software Service Provides Fast, Accurate and Secure Migration from Virtually Any CRM Data Source or Format to Eliminate Complexity and Risk
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 17 / -- Pervasive Software(R) Inc. (NASDAQ:PVSW), a global value leader in data infrastructure software, and salesforce.com (NYSE:CRM), the market and technology leader in on-demand customer relationship management (CRM), today announced the release of Data Catapult(TM) for AppExchange, a comprehensive data migration service via salesforce.com's AppExchange. Pervasive's Data Catapult is immediately available at appexchange.com/, in conjunction with the Salesforce Winter '06 release. Data Catapult provides fast, accurate and secure migration from virtually any CRM data source or format. The new service also handles data from all the major databases including Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, and IBM DB2 as well as hard-to-reach data -- from custom applications, legacy file formats, and others -- that is often 'lost' when a new CRM system is implemented.
With AppExchange, salesforce.com customers now have access to new applications that bring the benefits of salesforce.com to an entire business, letting them manage and share all of their company information on-demand. Using AppExchange, companies can easily add any number of new on-demand applications to their existing Salesforce deployments, extending their success and making the full power and creativity of the salesforce.com customer, partner and developer community available with just a click.
"As the momentum for on-demand solutions continues to grow, salesforce.com customers are looking for a complete service that makes data migration fast and easy," said Adam Gross, director, product marketing, salesforce.com. "This migration-as-a-service solution eliminates a common bottleneck for many salesforce.com prospects and customers."
"As a trusted provider of integration software for hundreds of salesforce.com customers, we recognized that for many companies, data migration is a time-consuming barrier to effective CRM adoption. They don't want to buy, load, learn, and deploy migration tools - they need a solution that takes care of the complexities and reduces the risk of losing valuable accumulated data," said Chip Harmon, general manager, Integration Division for Pervasive Software. "By providing Data Catapult through salesforce.com's AppExchange, we are able to provide more than 20 years of integration and migration expertise in a single, easy-to-use service."
Data Catapult for AppExchange offers a large variety of options to migrate data from CRM systems to salesforce.com. The service includes the ability to handle more than 200 data sources and formats, and leverages proven processes to map, transform, enrich, de-duplicate, profile, cleanse, and load data into the salesforce.com application. Data Catapult minimizes the time and the risks associated with migrating CRM data. Data fields are accurately imported, including accounts, notes, contacts, opportunities, activity histories, account histories, To Dos, appointments, and other key data. With this service, users do not need to purchase software or deal with the complexities of data mapping, validation, transformations or de-duping.
Multiple options are offered, starting with standard migrations from ACT!, GoldMine (dBase), Excel and Access through to more complex migrations that handle data from systems such as SalesLogix, Microsoft CRM, Onyx, SAP, legacy file formats, and custom-built systems, along with optional services such as migration from multiple sources, aggregation, appending data, and data cleansing.
"From a technology standpoint, there are two things that make Pervasive stand out. First, this is a comprehensive migration service; your data is delivered already loaded into Salesforce," said Mike Hoskins, chief technology officer at Pervasive. "Second, the migration service model mitigates the need to buy and manage migration software. For nearly any kind of CRM system, no matter what format the data is in, Data Catapult can get it into Salesforce."
Data Catapult for AppExchange is one of more than 150 application listings created by salesforce.com, its customers and partners that are now available on the salesforce.com AppExchange, the world's first on-demand application platform.
