Mastek Acquires Kognitio Data Migration Offering

Mastek, an IT solutions player with global operations providing new technology and intellectual property (IP)-led enterprise solutions, has announced the acquisition of Kognitio’s data migration offering comprising its Data Factory Tool Kit (DFTK) and data migration methodology.

With over forty man years of development invested in its software, the DFTK solution provides the technology to support the end-to-end data management environment covering all aspects of data processing in a data migration project. In addition, Philip Magnall, formerly the Vice President-Platform Rationalisation at Kognitio, has joined Mastek and will take on the role of Data Migration Manager, responsible for Mastek’s migration projects and consultancy offerings.

This transaction is the latest in Mastek’s move towards strengthening its position as an IP-led enterprise solutions provider, with Kognitio’s data migration tools and processes embedded at the heart of Mastek’s Migration Centre of Excellence.

For Kognitio, this transaction allows it to refocus its efforts on its data warehousing proposition and safeguard the future stability of the DFTK solution by incorporating it within a large and well-established organisation like Mastek.
