Data Analysis Reporting Tool (DART) Announced by UCT

DALLAS - Universal Conversion Technologies (UCT) has announced the release of its new Data Analysis Reporting Tool (DART). DART is a versatile reporting tool designed specifically to gather data from a host environment and present it on a PC platform. DART formats, organizes and configures this host data into easy-to-read PC reports that can be shared, emailed, or printed as desired. DART accepts any comma-delimited flat file from the host and can be easily re-configured on a custom basis, which means that users can quickly view any configuration of host data they desire.

UCT initially designed and tested the tool in conjunction with several major data integration projects. The initial configuration included reporting for data audit and analysis, conversion results, and post-conversion balance and reconciliation. Reports can easily be generated for other projects such as system upgrades and modifications, as well.

"DART adds a unique value to the software and services that UCT offers our customers," said Dan O'Hara, Principal and CEO of UCT. "No matter what your project, DART can show you what's going on at every phase."

"Our customers still do many data conversion projects on mainframe platforms because that's where their data and legacy systems reside." Mr. O'Hara added. "But they love the presentation features that DART offers to them. Now they can review the entire process, from initial data analysis to final balancing, on a PC spreadsheet environment. The flexibility is very powerful."

"During our projects, which tend to be large and complex, our project managers and analysts are able to request reports on any conditions and values they want to examine during the course of analyzing, manipulating, integrating, converting, and balancing data."

Audit data, conversion totals, exceptions and balance information are now all accessible at your desktop, without any time lost filtering through pages of needless data or endless columns of numbers.

DART is fully integrated with UCT's other product offerings, including Data Conversion Engineer (DCE) and Data Conversion Architect (DCA).

Universal Conversion Technologies (http://www.uctcorp.com) was founded in 1992 by Dan O'Hara, and maintains company headquarters in Dallas, Texas. All product and service functions are managed through the Dallas office. UCT's customers include both U.S. and Canadian life insurance companies.

More than 50 companies have used UCT's data conversion tools and methodology to implement conversions of millions of financial records involving billions of financial values.
