Database services

Almost all businesses migrate information from one format to another. A migration may be a one time event as in the conversion of legacy data to a new enterprise wide ERP solution. A migration may be repetitive in the case of exporting data to a data warehouse or reporting subsystem.

QFund takes a realistic approach to data migrations matching experience with correct toolsets. We provide the tools and can provide the required hardware needed for the conversion effort. The end result is a successful migration at a reasonable cost.

Key elements of a one-time migration:

• Source Host Identification: what operating system, where located, how is the host physically connected to the target host

• Source Identification: what application, what database, data formats, field formats, business rules, export options, security issues

• Target Host Identification: what operating system, where located

• Target Identification: what application, what database, data formats, field formats, business rules, import options, security issues

• Determine where programmatic mapping is the best solution. Determine where data entry is the correct approach.

• etermine data transport: FTP, tape, etc.

• Detailed mapping process

• Determine required documentation and training

• Define testing and balancing procedure

• Simulated go-live test Final go-live
