Data Migration and Conversion :: Overview
No-fuss, no-hassle transitions
The most difficult part about migrating to a new system is the migration of legacy
data. Your existing data is a rich source of business intelligence that you would
not want to leave out of the new system. Even if your new application has a data
import feature, it would still require you to map data fields from the legacy database
to the database of the new system. Data conversion poses similar issues. In data
conversion, you also need to ensure that you maximize advantages of features inherent
in the new database platform.

smooth transition. Our data migration and conversion services include the following:
