Joint effort to ease Oracle app migrations

Ascential Software Corp., Westboro, Mass., and Top Team Inc., San Mateo, Calif., will use the Oracle user group stage in San Francisco next month to unveil a joint solution aimed at easing corporate migrations to the Oracle 11i database and applications suite.

The so-called 11i Upgrade Kit, slated to be demonstrated at the OAUG Fall Conference, is described as a suite of jointly developed templates powered by Ascential's DataStage data transformation engine. The package will be sold by both Ascential, a maker of data integration software, and Top Team, a provider of data management services for Oracle Applications customers.

Paul O'Brien, executive director of alliances at Ascential, said Top Team's ''tremendous amount of experience in the Oracle applications business'' can boost his firm's place in the Oracle customer base.

The annual OAUG conference will be held in San Francisco's Moscone convention center during the week of November 11.
