| KINETIC SOLUTIONS™ ANNOUNCES EXCLUSIVE PARTNERSHIP WITH ORACON CORPORATION |
Top Data Integration Company To Expand Services with Worldwide Conversion Toolset?NOCARO
St. Louis (October 19, 2001)-In an effort to build greater opportunities within the data conversion
world, Kinetic Solutions™, a full-service data integration company specializing in geographic information
systems (GIS), today announced an exclusive partnership with ORACON Corporation. Based in Canada, ORACON
provides full cycle conversion services into an Oracle environment. Through this partnership, Kinetic Solutions
will add Managerial Information Systems (MIS) to its strong GIS history using an integrated suite of
software tools, NOCARO, capable of handling massively complex and diverse conversion situations on a
global scale.
"Kinetic Solutions is focused on providing the ultimate level of service to our customers.
ORACON Corporation is focused on the continuing effort to make NOCARO faster and more effective,"
said David Hosking, director of the Professional Services Group at Kinetic Solutions. "Together,
these companies can turn data conversion into the first major IT success story of the
21st century."
In the past, the GIS world faced several challenges linking spatial data with
business operations data. NOCARO is the "matchmaker" that brings
together spatial data and operations data within an enterprise in a
seamless marriage. "For example, NOCARO successfully completed a
massive conversion of a county's Record Management System in a
fraction of the time it took to convert a smaller Jail Management
System to function in a major vendor's public safety system,"
said Hosking.
The partnership will enable Kinetic Solutions and ORACON Corporation
to help customers with the conversion of their mission-critical data
and with the integration of both spatial and non-spatial data for
use within the enterprise.
"We are partnering with a company that has made a breakthrough in
how data conversions are accomplished," said Jeff Barker, president
of Kinetic Solutions. "Through this partnership, we will use this
breakthrough to provide our customers with unprecedented levels of
quality and efficiency in the data conversion arena."
With successful conversion efforts for major companies in Malaysia, Morocco, Argentina,
Canada and the U.S., NOCARO was designed and developed by
ORACON to reduce conversion deadlines and dramatically
improve data quality. This "toolset" controls the data
conversion process and provides repeatable batches of
conversion code with full documentation. From within
one unified software environment, NOCARO moves data from
extraction to verification, transformation and migration.
"With ORACON's technology and expertise in MIS conversions
and Kinetic Solutions strong background in GIS
conversions, this partnership will positively impact the
data conversion industry," said Bill Scaife, president of
ORACON Corporation. "We share our enthusiasm with Kinetic S
olutions and know this is a win-win relationship
for all involved."
In addition to providing data conversion services with NOCARO,
the partnership will provide many benefits to Kinetic Solutions' clients.
These benefits include full access to the products and expertise of ORACON
Corporation, as well as assistance from ORACON in any Oracle-based
endeavor-a key motivator for any organization that has or is
planning to move to an Oracle target database. This exclusive
access to ORACON will build greater opportunities within the
data conversion world for Kinetic Solutions.
