Core System Offloading
Keep the core focused. Put its data to work everywhere else.
Keep trusted systems of record in place while Tapstate maintains current operational data for applications, APIs, event platforms, and analytics.
SYSTEMS OF RECORD
Db2 for iORACLE
TRUSTED TRANSACTIONS
OFFLOADED OPERATIONAL LAYER
MODERN CONSUMERS
Current data is ready for modern use — the core stays focused on transactions.
The Problem
The core still runs the business. Everything new still asks it for data.
As digital services, APIs, analytics, and automation expand, the same systems of record become dependencies for more and more downstream work.
More consumers.
More pressure on the core.
Digital apps, customer service, risk systems, APIs, analytics, and automation all need current data—often creating more reads against systems built first for trusted transactions.
Access paths multiply faster than the architecture.
Direct queries, batch exports, scripts, replicas, and one-off APIs solve individual needs, but accumulate into fragmented dependencies that are difficult to change and govern.
Core replacement moves on a different timeline.
AS/400, Oracle, Db2, SQL Server, Sybase, and other systems of record may remain for years while the business needs new digital capabilities now.
Read Around the Core
Take downstream reads off the core.
Keep AS/400, Oracle, and other systems of record focused on trusted transactions while Tapstate maintains current data for modern applications and services.

Modernize Around the Core
Move forward without waiting for core replacement.
Keep mission-critical systems running while a continuously updated operational layer powers new applications, APIs, automation, and analytics.

Operational Offloading
Offload the workload—not just the rows.
Replication creates another copy of core data. Tapstate turns ongoing change into consumer-ready operational state that applications, APIs, event platforms, and analytics can reuse.

What Offloading Unlocks
Establish one current layer. Extend it across more of the business.
Once core data is maintained outside the system of record, the offloaded layer can support customer state, operational APIs, analytical feeds, and AI-driven workflows.

OFFLOADED
OPERATIONAL LAYER
Core stays protected as new use cases expand.
REAL-TIME CUSTOMER & ACCOUNT 360
Maintain a current customer and account view for applications and service teams.
OPERATIONAL DATA APIS
Expose current operational data to services and workflows without reopening the core.
OPERATIONAL DATA FEEDS
Keep analytics, ODS, Kafka, and downstream platforms continuously supplied.
OPERATIONAL CONTEXT FOR AI
Provide maintained business state for agents, automation, and governed decisions.
Proven in Real Environments
Built for core systems that cannot simply be switched off.
From high-volume banking environments to AS/400 / Db2 for i manufacturing systems and complex enterprise data exchange, the same pattern applies: protect the core while making current data reusable elsewhere.
A STRONG FIT WHEN
The core is staying
Downstream demand is growing
Access paths are fragmenting
Modernization cannot wait
PRODUCTION SNAPSHOTS
RETAIL BANKING
Keep downstream demand off sensitive production systems.
A retail bank serving 30M+ customers modernized data delivery across a complex 5,000+ table environment, creating reusable fresh data for analytics, reporting, data sharing, and downstream services.

GLOBAL MANUFACTURING
Bring AS/400 / Db2 for i and factory data into a modern analytics layer.
A global materials manufacturer continuously delivered ERP, CRM, factory, MySQL, SQL Server, and AS/400 / Db2 for i data into a unified warehouse / Snowflake environment.

Turn fragmented real-time delivery into one managed path.
A large insurance group consolidated multiple CDC tools and thousands of pipelines into managed delivery with unified provisioning, monitoring, Kafka push, and target-database delivery.

START WITH THE CORE YOU HAVE
Keep the system.
Change how the rest of the business depends on it.
Start with AS/400, Oracle, Db2, SQL Server, Sybase, or another system of record and build a current operational path around the core.
