Central Hudson recently implemented iFactor’s EZ Archiver product. The project had been delayed over the winter due to record-setting storms that tore through most of New England, and EZ Archiver finally went into production in May.
The EZ Archiver product eliminates the need for an additional Smallworld Server License and speeds up the archive process by moving data from Oracle to Oracle without having to pass through Smallworld Oracle ACP. The product also allows for better logging and error trapping, with no missed projects; an entire project either passes or fails, with no partial project archiving like the core PowerOn module.
In addition, iFactor Consulting’s Greg Ziolkowski converted the production archive PowerOn data to the new EZ Archive system for ease of maintenance (to archive data in one source versus older data in PowerOn and newer data in EZ Acrhiver) and to utilize EZ Archiver’s EZ naming structures. Central Hudson also wrote a series of database views against the EZ Archiver schema to mimic the tables that were in PowerOn, which eliminated any changes or upgrades to their existing reporting structures.
