What is

Data Conversion?

In our experience with conversions, these are never one-step processes. Expect this to be an interactive process as you add richness to your data as you expand the setup of your new system.

A necessary element is the file definitions of the outside system information. The internal data team will work closely with Harvest’s conversion team to ensure that the data elements of the old system are translated over to the new system.

The designated “owner” of the original master files should have roots in the operational side of the business to better relate to the use of the required information. This person does not need an information systems background but rather a detailed knowledge of the meaning of the current and historical data.

Why should you choose

Harvest Ventures?

Templates and Tools

Harvest Ventures provides templates for field mapping between master files of the existing data and new system. These tools allow the client to do much of the preparation in house saving time and money.

Effective Field Mapping

We have lots of experience integrating data into your new ERP system. We know what basic information should be converted in the first pass. This is followed by the "would like to have" information from the old system.

Data Literacy

Harvest Ventures is competent in converting historical data. Most often the historical data may not be robust. Historical files may require additional cross reference tables to substitute obsolete items or accounts for new codes set up in your new Macola application.

Integration Tools

We provide integration tools allow for easy import of data. We have our own suite of tools known as Business Automation Tools (BATs) that can expedite and simplify this process. We also can provide Third Party Solutions as requested.
