Celona and TMG complete data migration for SERCO – Traffic Camera Services Division (TCS) to enable new traffic infringement management application to go live for the Victorian Department of Justice in Australia

London, UK, 1st September, 2009: Celona Technologies, the leader in real-time business-centric application data migration software, today announced that it has completed alongside Systems Integrator TMG a major project for SERCO to enable the Victorian Department of Justice to migrate to a new version of SERCO’s software application (EROS), which is used to process Victorian infringement data.

The programme utilised Celona’s new generation application data migration platform, Celona Evolve, which enabled the business to incrementally migrate data, people and processes to the new SERCO system with minimal risk and significantly reduced cost when compared to traditional ETL and scripting methods. With the business rules of the source system data constantly changing, Celona Evolve’s unique ability to process real-time data changes, exception handling, auditing and reporting, enabled the business to have total control and intelligence of the migration programme.

Charles Andrews, CEO of Celona commented: “The requirements for application data migration are significantly different to that of the old world of data warehousing and database replication. Today’s move from legacy to new application environments must be managed at the business level, with agility to manage change and ensue that the real-time requirements of today’s complex business applications and the processes they support are met. Celona Evolve software removes the issue of data migration from the critical path, by ensuring less risk, lower cost and total control through real-time reporting and change management managed through the Celona software platform.”

Fulvio Inserra, Managing Director, of TMG added: “ We are pleased to have partnered with Celona on this key program of work for SERCO. Our best in class System Integration skills alongside Celona’s software and deployment Method enabled us to deliver a complex project on time, which in turn enabled SERCO to focus on the successful delivery of their new software platform to their customer”.
