Loss of Internal Optim Skills
Your team lost Optim admin skills to retirement or turnover. You can't find new talent.

Your .af archive files and embedded keys are proprietary. Any migration partner says 'impossible.'
Forced Data Center Exit
Your Data center mandate says 'move to cloud now.' But Optim wasn't built for modern SaaS.
IBM InfoSphere Optim → Solix Common Data Platform migration — your questions answered
Will I lose IBM support during the Optim-to-Solix migration?+
No. Your vendor contract keeps IBM support active as long as it's in force. Renewal deadlines are not forced. If it lapses, our third-party support covers most operational issues.
How do you handle IBM Optim Archive File (.af) formats?+
We extract, parse, and re-index proprietary .af files, including embedded Primary and Relationship Keys, Access Definitions, and Browse patterns.
What triggers the move from IBM Optim to Solix?+
Many enterprises face retiring Optim DBA staff, cloud mandates, or sudden IBM renewal spikes. Our migration fits your timeline, not the vendor's.
What's the typical budget and timeline for a Solix migration?+
A typical project runs 6-12 months with 3-5 senior engineers. Budget ranges from $150,000 to $800,000, fixed scope.
