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:

- 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.
