Understand your data to guarantee your conversion or migration project is successful the first time
Research indicates that many conversions are unsuccessful and have to be redone. This delays implementation times and can cause massive issues in operations – especially if new data is entered and then has to be backed out and returned to the old system. Understanding your data is the key to successful data conversions or migrations – both name and address and non-name and address. The advanced data profiling capabilities of Data Profiler™ enable you to identify the errors and anomalies in your data by accurately determining the current condition of your data and comparing it to your organization’s definition of what the condition should be. Profiling also identifies the fields in the existing data so that they can be properly mapped to the correct fields in the target database. In this way, profiling provides a detailed picture of the quality and structure of your data, so you know exactly what steps must be taken to prepare it for successful conversion or migration. This, coupled with data management software to correct and map non-name and address data, improves accuracy.
