Data Conversions

Many times, organizations put off a needed upgrade due to their data. Either they are intimidated by the volume, complexity or known data issues. Metamor Systems will do the heavy lifting and make it efficient and economical so your data doesn't stand in your way of a new system.

• When migrating to a new platform or system, you will often be required to make historical data available to the vendor or be told that the vendor does not deal with loading old data. This can be frustrating and problematic because the data history is just as valuable as data flowing into the new system. Often times a neutral vendor, like Metamor Systems, is the best approach. Not only do we bring technical knowledge of multiple database systems, we also are experienced in transforming data from one platform to another while being careful to not lose the meaning in the process.
• Without a large investment in expensive software licenses or a new tool, Metamor Systems can use existing database tools to effectively and efficiently convert data and move it to the target system. Add to that, we can also address any historical data issues because we're not locked into to any particular toolset. This takes the complexity away from discussions and focuses the effort on what you need rather than what a software vendor wants to do within its scope of work. In past engagements, we have converted entire systems from one database platform to another and from one architecture to another using the built-in scripting languages. The result is a much more affordable and quicker solution.
