SAN FRANCISCO, CA - August 28, 2007 - ActiveGrid, Inc., a leading provider of Enterprise Web 2.0™ solutions, has announced it is working with MySQL to simplify the migration of legacy applications to modern web architectures. Last week, the companies published the "Microsoft Access to MySQL Migration Guide," a quick guide to migrating MS Access applications to a CIO Safe™, Enterprise Web 2.0 deployment architecture. "We are delighted to be working with MySQL to help companies accelerate their efforts to migrate client/server applications to a compliant, Web 2.0 architecture," said Chris Keene, CEO of ActiveGrid. ActiveGrid Studio 2.4 is the industry's first rapid prototyping and development tool designed specifically for enterprise Web 2.0 applications.
Respectful of the limited spare time available to I.T. managers and enterprise software developers, the MS Access to MySQL Migration Guide is a quick read, outlining the required steps to optimize the migration of a Microsoft Access database to a CIO compliant, MySQL web-application. The Migration Guide is published on the MySQL Developer Zone at http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/active-grid.html Next month, MySQL and ActiveGrid will be offering a free webinar covering Application Migration to Enterprise Web 2.0. "Rapidly developing and deploying business applications that meet the CIO's compliance requirements is a significant issue," said Rick Saletta, Director of Marketing and Product Management at Activegrid.
