Compliance. Several types of legislation passed in 2000 - 2004 such as the Health Information Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) require businesses to maintain accurate records of where information resides and with whom it was shared. Software vendors responded by building these controls into NEWER software platforms. The older versions of the platforms were not updated - so businesses need to upgrade to the latest versions in order to satisfy the new requirements. Once your platform is migrated using ReGen Conversions Services, you will be able to take advantage of improved accessibility and data management in order to comply with the new privacy and information security laws.

Access to Data. Older versions of Microsoft Access and Lotus Notes provide limited access to data. This hampers business processes and limits the way in which your data can be used. The applications that are most concerning are desktop applications. 

Platform Support. Several legacy platforms are aging and no longer have support from the original vendors. As support is withdrawn from older platforms, ProtoGroup's ReGen Conversion Services can help you upgrade to supported versions of the product.

Security. Microsoft Access and Lotus Notes cannot disable a user’s ability to copy/save/print/screenprint the information displayed. These database files can easily be passed in and out of any organization without fear of detection - causing significant legal and operational liability for any company. This is particularly true in the US and Japan where legislation demands greater security than these legacy technologies can offer. The measure between a productive tool and potentially devastating leak may turn out to be your ability to manage the how applications run and display information; not just the technology platform.

Reduce Maintenance Costs. Newly migrated applications will be easier to maintain than your old applications. This will free up your support staff to focus on process and technology improvements instead of routine maintenance.

ReGen Conversion Tools. The ProtoGroup ReGen Conversion Service utilizes a proprietary family of tools which will radically accelerate your platform migration to a secure Microsoft.NET while maintaining the application's look and feel.

Security and Compliance. After your applications has been migrated, ProtoGroup can provide additional security tools based on Microsoft's Rights Management Services (RMS). This will help you maintain control of your data even after it has been delivered to users.  Data administrators can set policies so authorized users cannot maliciously or accidentally forward data to unauthorized individuals. Data administrators can revoke access to content at any time - even after the data has been delivered!

Eliminate Risk of Human Error. ReGen tools mechanize the migration process. This nearly eliminates the risk associated with human errors from repetitive User Interface tasks.

The Bottom Line. Save time and money. Companies can save from 50% to 70% on the cost of a migration by using the ReGen Conversion Service. More importantly, the migration process can be several months faster.
