Customer Comments


We have a variety of customers, in a variety of industries, using many different environments to run their business. Some comments from our customers . . .

The Nation's Largest Employee Retirement System
This east coast organization uses ViaSQL to move data from VSAM to SQL Server, thereby allowing end users to work directly with MS SQL Server for Visual Basic applications.

They are also using ViaSQL with an automated voice response system. This allows customers to gain access to automated information regarding their individual retirement plans (amount invested, recent transactions, and so on).

With both projects ViaTransit is used to move data and update records nightly between VSAM and MS SQL Server.
"Your technical support staff is the best!"
A California County
This active county works extensively with ViaSQL's Legacy Data Server and reports it is a "great fit" with their new development environment.

Product specifics include the ability to access VSAM files and COBOL applications direct from desktop PCs, especially from Visual Basic applications. They praise the "simple coding and fast access" offered by ViaSQL.
"Instant access through LDS is now replacing procedures which used to require 40 hours of writing code. I love it! Well worth the money!"
"Your technical staff is outstanding! Incredibly intelligent and responsive!"
International Insurance Company
This well-known specialized insurance carrier has offices in London and New Jersey, and uses ViaSQL Integrator on the mainframe side to connect with MS SQL Server and Windows NT. They're just completing a system upgrade to TCP/IP.

Now, they are looking at many projects involving web enablement of mainframe data and will use ViaSQL extensively, and they are looking forward to online connections with their London offices. This will allow access to legacy data through the ViaSQL Gateway, coordinating with PowerBuilder applications and MS SQL Server. They also plan to use user exits for upload applications.
"ViaSQL was a great concept when it first arrived, and has grown to be an essential part of our system. I would be more than happy to promote your product to any company looking toward integration of their legacy systems."
Illinois Government Agency
One of many counties using ViaSQL, they use ViaSQL for online Tax Assessor applications, allowing users on the Web to access tax information stored in VSAM and DL/I.

They are also using ViaSQL to access VSAM data for another web application involving online voter registration.

Another project involves internal reporting, coordinating a LAN-based MS Access database with VSAM data. They are starting a project to synchronize DL/I and MS SQL Server.
"...ViaSQL is the greatest thing since sliced bread!"
Northern California Government Agency
This organization primarily uses ViaSQL as part of a Criminal Justice Information System and a Property Taxation System.

The CJIS application connects the sheriff's department's AS/400 to VSAM files located with the court system, tying the system together with Visual Basic.

They soon will be able to support web-based customer queries into the property taxation system.
"When we were looking to purchase ViaSQL, I called five of your customers, asking specifically about your performance and support. I received consistently excellent responses from them all."
"Not everyone can do phone support well. Your team has been great... always supportive, helpful and very easy to work with!"
"I would certainly promote the power of ViaSQL's capabilities to any of your future prospects!"
A Northwest Forestry Services Company
This company is using ViaSQL to move inventory records between OS/390 VSAM and MS SQL Server. End users are accessing the data using MS Access and Excel.
"We are a smaller shop, and bringing ViaSQL into the system was not at all intrusive on our operations."
"We have been very pleased with both the performance of the product and especially with the quality of your technical support. You are lucky to have such a quality staff."
