NextForm does not require Hadoop, in-memory databases, or expensive hardware to process big data. There are no limits on the number or size of data sources or targets.
NextForm comes in several editions, including a FREE Lite version for converting field data types, record layouts, and many flat-file formats, and for creating basic reports from flat files.
