NextForm v3 is the latest data management product supported in Eclipse by IRI. From the SortCLProgram in IRI CoSort Built from that heritage, IRI NextForm is data migration and reformatting software that helps you convert and reuse data stored in legacy and modern databases, index and sequential files, Hadoop, and dark data (unstructured) documents.

NextForm is the only data migration tool that leverages the power and simplicity of CoSort's high-volume data transformation and definition technologies, along with the familiar ergonomics of Eclipse. NextForm requires neither Hadoop nor in-memory databases or expensive hardware to process large data volumes. There is no limit to the number or size of data sources or targets.

NextForm is offered in several editions, including a FREE Lite version for converting field data types, record layouts, and many flat file formats, as well as generating basic reports from flat files.
