Business Requirements
for Data Conversion

Data conversion is critical in transforming data from legacy systems to new platforms while ensuring accuracy, integrity, and consistency.
These requirements ensure a smooth, secure, and efficient data transition, helping businesses leverage their data effectively in new systems.
The business requirements for data conversion include:

Phone
  • Convert data from a legacy application to a modern system.
  • Merge multiple data sources into a single target.
  • Accommodate the unique requirements of each application instance.
  • Support sourcing from any RDBMS system or CSV files.
  • Extract, map, transform, validate, and load data into the target system.
  • Enable reuse of mapping and design across multiple clients.
  • Document the entire process for auditing and compliance.
  • Allow addition of new fields (calculated or derived values), exclusion of fields, and field merging.
  • Facilitate the selection of specific data subsets for migration.
  • Data Conversion Orchestration.

Challenges with Traditional Process

  • Extracts are tailored for each data source.
  • Mappings are custom-built per data source.
  • Loading procedures differ across data sources.
  • The process is manually executed via scripts.
  • Intermediate data is managed in spreadsheets.
  • Processing time can range from several days to weeks per source.
  • No traceability or audit trail is maintained.
  • Once data is loaded, source systems may become inaccessible, hindering future access.
