Legacy database integrations
FRAI connects to legacy databases without ripping them out
FRAI integrates with the legacy databases your operation already depends on, bringing their data onto one shipment, one live reference, so you automate around them with no rip and replace.

On-prem records ↔ FRAI live reference
What it does
What legacy database integrations do
FRAI works with your existing systems, including legacy databases. It connects to them and brings their records onto one live reference, so years of operational data inform automation instead of blocking it.
- Connect to legacy databases and surface their records on the live reference.
- Feed historical and operational data into scheduling, assets and documents.
- Automate around legacy systems with no rip and replace.
- Keep one consistent reference across old and new tools.

Common problems it solves
What it fixes
Legacy databases hold essential data but are hard to build on. FRAI connects to them so they power automation rather than holding it back.
Data locked away
Critical records sit in legacy systems that are hard to access or build on.
Disconnected tools
Legacy data does not flow into the systems and workflows teams use daily.
Risky replacements
Ripping out a legacy database is expensive and disruptive to live operations.
