Data Conversion

Phoenix Data provides a seamless transition to the AIMS System. We have performed hundreds of conversions from many different commercial and custom systems.

We have developed a systematic approach, including a thorough review of the legacy data with field-by-field data mapping, sample conversion routines, testing and verification.

The conversion is divided into sections where Phoenix Data and the Customer share in the responsibilities of a successful conversion.

○ A complete mapping of existing data to AIMS data fields is performed by a Phoenix Data system engineer and reviewed by the product management team.

○ Mapping is reviewed and approved by the Customer, typically one to two individuals that understand the current system and data structures.

○ Conversion program is developed and Phoenix Data’s assigned system engineer tests the results.

○ Data is verified and tested by the Customer. (Phoenix Data recommends at least 30 days for verification and testing. It is recommended that training classes be completed during this phase.)

○ The customer reports corrections and the data conversion is updated by Phoenix Data to address any issues.

○ Final approval and the live conversion are scheduled when the Customer implementation team has completed testing and verification of the converted data.

A software engineer and technical support specialist are assigned to all data conversions. They oversee and perform the listed processes while working with the Customer for clarification and planning.
