<p class="MsoNormal">I am from Boston College and we migrated from Oracle DSEE to Symas OpenLDAP. We opted for Symas support and installation, Symas helped on data conversion, Indexing, installation, configuration in Dev/QA and Prod. It has been close to 3
years since migrating to OpenLDAP and we haven't encountered any issues. Symas OpenLDAP has been reliable in terms of performance and support (Urgent to 24 hours buffer).<o:p></o:p></p>
